CISSP – Information Systems Security Architecture Professional (ISSAP) — Question 10

You are responsible for security at a building that has a lot of traffic. There are even a significant number of non-employees coming in and out of the building. You are concerned about being able to find out who is in the building at a particular time. What is the simplest way to accomplish this?

Answer options

• A. Implement a sign in sheet at the main entrance and route all traffic through there.
• B. Have all people entering the building use smart cards for access.
• C. Implement biometric access.
• D. Implement cameras at all entrances.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because using a sign-in sheet is a straightforward and low-tech method to monitor who is in the building, allowing for easy tracking of visitors. Options B and C, while effective for access control, require more infrastructure and may not provide a complete record of all individuals present, especially non-employees. Option D, while useful for surveillance, does not provide a direct method to track individuals currently inside the building.
