Question

A real-world workflow requires a practical decision for the CompTIA Security+ involving least privilege in Governance, Risk, and Compliance. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 15)

Answer choices

1. A. Treat all similar terms as interchangeable without checking the scenario context.

Correct Answer

C. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the least privilege scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is C because least privilege is tested by asking candidates to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
