Question
A scenario includes a common misconception for the CompTIA Security+ involving zero trust in Governance, Risk, and Compliance. What should the candidate understand? (Item 88)
Answer choices
- A. Skip verification because the previous case had the same answer.
- B. Document nothing because documentation could create follow-up questions.
- C. Rely on informal custom instead of the applicable rule, control, or standard.
- D. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the zero trust scenario.
Correct Answer
D. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the zero trust scenario.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because zero trust 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.
