Question 160

A pharmaceutical team emails high-sensitivity clinical records to a supplier using an unapproved file-transfer site. A designer proposes: Send the records as a plain attachment and rely only on the recipient's NDA. What is the MOST significant security deficiency in this proposal?

  1. Data minimization and deidentification meet the new analytic need more directly than full-identity transfer.
  2. Classification controls extend to physical custody and access to media.
  3. An NDA does not encrypt transit or establish secure recipient authentication.
  4. Markings communicate handling rules but do not impose access barriers.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

An NDA does not encrypt transit or establish secure recipient authentication. This is the direct weakness in the proposed action.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This explains a later shift in requirements (The same dataset must be analyzed by the supplier without revealing patient identities.), not the failure of the current proposal.

B:

This is an advantage of another design (Maintain secure locked storage with inventory, authorized checkout and chain of custody.), not the particular flaw of Send the records as a plain attachment and rely only on the recipient's NDA.

D:

This is a limitation elsewhere: A lab stores labeled confidential removable drives on an unattended open shelf with public visitor access. It does not explain the deficiency of the specified proposed approach.

Question 161

A pharmaceutical team emails high-sensitivity clinical records to a supplier using an unapproved file-transfer site. The organization has now implemented this response: Use a contract-approved encrypted transfer channel and verify recipient authorization. Which observation would MOST directly demonstrate that the security objective was met?

  1. Spot inventory and entry logs reconcile drive locations to authorized custodians.
  2. An approved change ticket for Use a contract-approved encrypted transfer channel and verify recipient authorization. without a completed verification result.
  3. Transfer logs show approved destination, encryption, recipient validation and delivery acknowledgements.
  4. Walk-through tests show unclaimed print jobs cannot be obtained by unauthorized staff.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Transfer logs show approved destination, encryption, recipient validation and delivery acknowledgements. This validates that sensitive data handling must respect classification and externally approved transport controls.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This other observation is relevant to: A lab stores labeled confidential removable drives on an unattended open shelf with public visitor access.

B:

An approved change without an executed test cannot prove operating effectiveness. The needed evidence is Transfer logs show approved destination, encryption, recipient validation and delivery acknowledgements.

D:

This demonstrates controls in another circumstance: Customer support staff print restricted account records but leave them in a shared printer tray overnight.

Question 162

A previous security situation was: A pharmaceutical team emails high-sensitivity clinical records to a supplier using an unapproved file-transfer site. Now the requirement changes: The same dataset must be analyzed by the supplier without revealing patient identities. Which NEW action BEST answers the changed need?

  1. Send the records as a plain attachment and rely only on the recipient's NDA.
  2. Transfer logs show approved destination, encryption, recipient validation and delivery acknowledgements.
  3. Provide a purpose-limited deidentified or tokenized dataset under approved controls.
  4. Use a contract-approved encrypted transfer channel and verify recipient authorization.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Data minimization and deidentification meet the new analytic need more directly than full-identity transfer. The revised action is Provide a purpose-limited deidentified or tokenized dataset under approved controls.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This remains inappropriate: An NDA does not encrypt transit or establish secure recipient authentication.

B:

This is a record of how the initial safeguard would be checked, not an action implementing the newly requested condition: Transfer logs show approved destination, encryption, recipient validation and delivery acknowledgements.

D:

This is the appropriate response to the original situation: Sensitive data handling must respect classification and externally approved transport controls. It does not directly meet the new condition.

Question 163

A lab stores labeled confidential removable drives on an unattended open shelf with public visitor access. What should the security manager recommend as the MOST appropriate response to the current requirement?

  1. Use a contract-approved encrypted transfer channel and verify recipient authorization.
  2. Maintain secure locked storage with inventory, authorized checkout and chain of custody.
  3. Assume labels alone will stop a visitor from taking the drives.
  4. Use sealed documented transport and verified destruction certificates.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Classification controls extend to physical custody and access to media. This directly addresses the stated situation.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This response addresses a different condition: A pharmaceutical team emails high-sensitivity clinical records to a supplier using an unapproved file-transfer site. The present case requires the measure described by Maintain secure locked storage with inventory, authorized checkout and chain of custody.

C:

Markings communicate handling rules but do not impose access barriers. The proposal would not be defensible for this case.

D:

This is appropriate for a later condition (The lab later ships media to an external accredited destruction facility.), but it does not directly resolve the initial need. End-of-life custody must be maintained through shipment and disposal.

Question 164

A lab stores labeled confidential removable drives on an unattended open shelf with public visitor access. A designer proposes: Assume labels alone will stop a visitor from taking the drives. What is the MOST significant security deficiency in this proposal?

  1. Physical output can expose classified data even when the digital system is access-controlled.
  2. Markings communicate handling rules but do not impose access barriers.
  3. Database passwords do not protect unattended paper at a shared printer.
  4. End-of-life custody must be maintained through shipment and disposal.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Markings communicate handling rules but do not impose access barriers. This is the direct weakness in the proposed action.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This is an advantage of another design (Implement approved secure-release printing and immediate custody and disposal procedures.), not the particular flaw of Assume labels alone will stop a visitor from taking the drives.

C:

This is a limitation elsewhere: Customer support staff print restricted account records but leave them in a shared printer tray overnight. It does not explain the deficiency of the specified proposed approach.

D:

This explains a later shift in requirements (The lab later ships media to an external accredited destruction facility.), not the failure of the current proposal.

Question 165

A lab stores labeled confidential removable drives on an unattended open shelf with public visitor access. The team must implement a defensible safeguard AND demonstrate that it works. Which TWO entries form that control-and-evidence pair? (Select TWO.)

  1. Spot inventory and entry logs reconcile drive locations to authorized custodians.
  2. Assume labels alone will stop a visitor from taking the drives.
  3. Use sealed documented transport and verified destruction certificates.
  4. Use a contract-approved encrypted transfer channel and verify recipient authorization.
  5. Maintain secure locked storage with inventory, authorized checkout and chain of custody.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

Correct verification. The specific evidence is: Spot inventory and entry logs reconcile drive locations to authorized custodians.

E:

Correct control. Classification controls extend to physical custody and access to media.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Markings communicate handling rules but do not impose access barriers.

C:

This concerns a later and different need: The lab later ships media to an external accredited destruction facility. End-of-life custody must be maintained through shipment and disposal.

D:

The proposed control fits another scenario: A pharmaceutical team emails high-sensitivity clinical records to a supplier using an unapproved file-transfer site. It does not directly address this scenario's primary requirement.

Question 166

A previous security situation was: A lab stores labeled confidential removable drives on an unattended open shelf with public visitor access. Now the requirement changes: The lab later ships media to an external accredited destruction facility. Which NEW action BEST answers the changed need?

  1. Spot inventory and entry logs reconcile drive locations to authorized custodians.
  2. Use sealed documented transport and verified destruction certificates.
  3. Maintain secure locked storage with inventory, authorized checkout and chain of custody.
  4. Assume labels alone will stop a visitor from taking the drives.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

End-of-life custody must be maintained through shipment and disposal. The revised action is Use sealed documented transport and verified destruction certificates.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This is a record of how the initial safeguard would be checked, not an action implementing the newly requested condition: Spot inventory and entry logs reconcile drive locations to authorized custodians.

C:

This is the appropriate response to the original situation: Classification controls extend to physical custody and access to media. It does not directly meet the new condition.

D:

This remains inappropriate: Markings communicate handling rules but do not impose access barriers.

Question 167

Customer support staff print restricted account records but leave them in a shared printer tray overnight. What should the security manager recommend as the MOST appropriate response to the current requirement?

  1. Implement approved secure-release printing and immediate custody and disposal procedures.
  2. Enforce a stronger database password policy and ignore printouts.
  3. Use trackable courier chain of custody and receipt confirmation.
  4. Maintain secure locked storage with inventory, authorized checkout and chain of custody.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Physical output can expose classified data even when the digital system is access-controlled. This directly addresses the stated situation.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Database passwords do not protect unattended paper at a shared printer. The proposal would not be defensible for this case.

C:

This is appropriate for a later condition (The team needs to send a signed hardcopy to a legal office.), but it does not directly resolve the initial need. Protected external document transfer changes the custody pathway.

D:

This response addresses a different condition: A lab stores labeled confidential removable drives on an unattended open shelf with public visitor access. The present case requires the measure described by Implement approved secure-release printing and immediate custody and disposal procedures.

Question 168
