CompTIA Security+ Question C-43

Ann has recently transferred from the payroll department to engineering. While browsing file shares, Ann notices she can access the payroll status and pay rates of her new coworkers. Which of the following could prevent this scenario from occurring?

A. Credential management
B. Continuous monitoring
C. Separation of duties
D. User access reviews

Answer: D

Explanation:
In addition to assigning user access properly, it is important to review that access periodically. Access review is a process to determine whether a user’s access level is still appropriate. People’s roles within an organization can change over time. It is important to review user accounts periodically and determine if they still require the access they currently have. An example of such a scenario would be a network administrator who was responsible for the domain controller but then moved over to administer the remote access servers. The administrator’s access to the domain controller should now be terminated. This concept of access review is closely related to the concept of least privileges. It is important that users do not have “leftover” privileges from previous job roles.
