Sofia recently implemented a new process in her organization where managers who are responsible for granting users access to a system are not permitted to participate in access reviews. What principle is she enforcing?

Answer Options

A

Two-person control

B

Least privilege

C

Privilege creep

D

Segregation of duties

Correct Answer: D

Explanation

The segregation of duties principle says that no employee should have permission to perform two tasks that, when combined, would pose a security risk. In this situation, an employee auditing their own work would create a conflict of interest, so Sofia has implemented a segregation of duties. Two-person control is closely related, but it requires that two different employees approve an action. If she required that two managers approve new accounts, that would be an example of two-person control.
