Prepare for the Security+ SY0-801 exam (CompTIA Security+ V8). In this lesson: the four control categories (technical, managerial, operational, and physical), the six control types (preventive, detective, corrective, deterrent, directive, and compensating), and how to classify any control by both, during an auditor's visit to an Ashgrove factory. Includes three original practice questions.
Preview the topics
- After ransomware encrypts a file server at Ashgrove, the team restores last night’s backup and patches the flaw that the attacker used. Which control type is this?
- Ashgrove posts signs at the factory gate that say every vehicle is searched, and adds bright lighting around the loading dock, so that thieves choose an easier target. Which control type are these?
- Ashgrove requires two people to approve every supplier payment, but the warehouse office has only one clerk, so the head office finance team reviews every payment from that office the next morning. Which control type is the review?
