CISSP – Information Systems Security Architecture Professional (ISSAP) — Question 27

You are the Security Consultant advising a company on security methods. This is a highly secure location that deals with sensitive national defense related data.
They are very concerned about physical security as they had a breach last month. In that breach an individual had simply grabbed a laptop and ran out of the building. Which one of the following would have been most effective in preventing this?

Answer options

• A. Not using laptops.
• B. Keeping all doors locked with a guard.
• C. Using a man-trap.
• D. A sign in log.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, using a man-trap, as it is specifically designed to control access and prevent unauthorized individuals from easily exiting with items, thereby increasing physical security. The other options, while helpful, do not provide the same level of immediate deterrence or control over individuals attempting to remove sensitive equipment from the premises.
