Judge for yourself

A real Security+ practice question from the bank

A security team is drafting an organization-wide risk assessment schedule and updating the corporate security policy. Which control category do these activities BEST represent?

A Technical

✗ Technical controls are enforced by systems — firewalls, encryption. Policies and schedules aren't.

B Managerial

✓ Right. Managerial (administrative) controls govern security through planning and oversight — policies, risk assessments, program management.

C Operational

✗ Operational controls are the day-to-day tasks people execute, not the policies directing them.

D Physical

✗ Physical controls are locks, fences, and guards — nothing in this scenario touches the building.
