A. Physical – Correct. This involves barriers, gates, locks, ID checks, and other physical mechanisms to control access. B. Managerial – Incorrect. Managerial controls are policy-based (e.g., security policies, risk assessments). C. Technical – Incorrect. Technical controls involve technology like firewalls, encryption, or biometric scanners (though an access control vestibule may include technical components, the overall process is physical). D. Operational – Incorrect. Operational controls are day-to-day procedures (e.g., user training, incident response).
A) Physical: This is a physical security control because it involves physical barriers and measures to control access to the facility, such as checking photo IDs and using an access control vestibule. B) Managerial: Managerial controls are policies, procedures, and guidelines established by an organization to ensure security compliance and oversight. This scenario is more focused on physical actions than managerial oversight. C) Technical: Technical controls involve systems and software (e.g., firewalls, encryption) that secure data and systems electronically. The scenario here involves people and physical infrastructure, not technology. D) Operational: Operational controls are implemented by people in their day-to-day activities, such as security training or incident response. While the scenario involves operational tasks, the primary focus is on physical security measures. In summary, physical controls like ID checks and vestibules are examples of barriers to control access to secure areas, making A) Physical the best choice.
