Henry’s organization has recently experienced a ransomware attack and is restoring backups from a secure backup system. What type of security control is Henry using?

Answer Options

A

A preventive control

B

A directive control

C

A compensating control

D

A corrective control

Correct Answer: D

Explanation

Restoring from backups helps to remediate a security issue, making this a corrective control. Preventive controls for Henry’s situation might include endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools, directive controls would include policies and procedures for ransomware events, and compensating controls would be used if exceptions to the security policies needed to be made.
