CISM Certified Information Security Manager – Question1129

What is the BEST way to ensure data protection upon termination of employment?

A.
Retrieve identification badge and card keys
B. Retrieve all personal computer equipment
C. Erase all of the employee's folders
D. Ensure all logical access is removed

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

Explanation:
Ensuring all logical access is removed will guarantee that the former employee will not be able to access company data and that the employee’s credentials will not be misused. Retrieving identification badge and card keys would only reduce the capability to enter the building. Retrieving the personal computer equipment and the employee’s folders are necessary tasks, but that should be done as a second step.
