Certified Cloud Security Professional – CCSP – Question399

Which of the following is considered an administrative control?

A.
Keystroke logging
B. Access control process
C. Door locks
D. Biometric authentication

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Explanation: A process is an administrative control; sometimes, the process includes elements of other types of controls (in this case, the access control mechanism might be a technical control, or it might be a physical control), but the process itself is administrative. Keystroke logging is a technical control (or an attack, if done for malicious purposes, and not for auditing); door locks are a physical control; and biometric authentication is a technological control.
