Governance, Risk, and Compliance Practice Question

Question

A candidate is reviewing a practice scenario for the CompTIA Security+ involving symmetric encryption in Governance, Risk, and Compliance. Which response best applies the concept? (Item 197)

Answer choices

1. A. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the symmetric encryption scenario.
2. B. Prioritize convenience over safety, compliance, or accurate reasoning.
3. C. Ignore the issue because speed is more important than documentation or accuracy.
4. D. Assume the requirement applies only when the customer specifically asks about it.

Correct Answer

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

Explanation

The correct answer is A because symmetric encryption 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.
