Explanation: Differentiating between company-owned and employee-owned devices is critical for implementing security policies tailored to the ownership type. Company assets typically have more stringent control measures than employee-owned devices.

Risks of Incorrect Answer: Employee-owned devices may lack enterprise-level security controls, increasing the risk of data breaches.

Lack of clear asset ownership can lead to compliance issues in audits.

Applicable Frameworks: NIST CSF (PR.AC-4): Access control based on roles or device ownership.

ISO 27001 (A.8.1.1): Identification of assets.

HIPAA: Security of devices used to access Protected Health Information (PHI).

Explanation: MDM ensures that employee-owned devices meet corporate security standards, such as encryption and secure access controls, reducing the attack surface.

Risks of Incorrect Answer: Lack of MDM can result in unauthorized access or unencrypted data being exposed on personal devices.

Non-compliance with regulatory requirements for securing endpoints.

Applicable Frameworks: NIST CSF (PR.IP-12): Security solutions for mobile devices.

ISO 27001 (A.6.2.1): Controls for mobile devices.

PCI DSS (6.5): Secure handling of payment data on devices.

Explanation: Administrator access increases the risk of unauthorized changes to security settings, installation of unverified applications, or disabling security controls.

Risks of Incorrect Answer: Elevated privileges could allow malware installation or circumvention of corporate controls.

Violations of access control policies.

Applicable Frameworks: NIST CSF (PR.AC-5): Separation of administrative functions.

ISO 27001 (A.9.2.3): Management of privileged access rights.

SOC 2 (CC6.3): Role-based access controls.

Explanation: Disabling unused I/O ports prevents data exfiltration and the introduction of malicious software through removable media.

Risks of Incorrect Answer: Open ports can be exploited for data theft or malware deployment.

Regulatory non-compliance for data protection standards.

Applicable Frameworks: NIST CSF (PR.PT-4): Restrictions on removable media.

ISO 27001 (A.13.1.3): Controls to protect against unauthorized access via removable media.

Explanation: Session logging ensures accountability and provides a forensic trail for auditing or investigating incidents.

Risks of Incorrect Answer: Lack of logs can hinder incident investigations or compliance audits.

Reduced transparency into potential misuse of systems.

Applicable Frameworks: NIST CSF (DE.CM-3): Monitoring of network and system activities.

ISO 27001 (A.12.4.1): Logging of system events.

SOC 2 (CC7.2): Log monitoring and analysis.

Explanation: Session recording provides an additional layer of oversight for ensuring compliance with operational and security policies.

Risks of Incorrect Answer: Lack of recordings may lead to challenges in resolving disputes or addressing customer complaints.

Missed opportunities for process improvement through review.

Applicable Frameworks: NIST CSF (PR.MA-1): Maintenance records.

ISO 27001 (A.12.3.1): Documentation of user activities for non-repudiation

Explanation: Email functionality on CSR devices must be controlled to prevent unauthorized data sharing or phishing attacks.

Risks of Incorrect Answer: Unrestricted email access can lead to data leakage or spear-phishing incidents.

Regulatory violations for mishandling sensitive information.

Applicable Frameworks: NIST CSF (PR.DS-5): Protection of transmitted data.
