Security Fundamentals Professional Certification (SFPC) Practice Test

If Paul claims that Information Security practitioners help with a facility's Antiterrorism Officer and Ashley claims that Personnel Security practitioners assist Original Classification Authorities, who is correct?

1. Paul is correct

2. Ashley is correct

3. Both are correct

4. Both are incorrect

The correct answer is: Both are incorrect

The assertion made by Paul regarding Information Security practitioners assisting a facility's Antiterrorism Officer is not entirely accurate within the conventional roles understood in security practices. Information Security primarily focuses on the protection of data and the systems that manage that data, rather than direct involvement in antiterrorism efforts. Similarly, Ashley's claim about Personnel Security practitioners assisting Original Classification Authorities also lacks the requisite accuracy. Personnel Security primarily deals with the vetting of individuals to ensure they are suitable for access to sensitive information but do not typically engage with or support Original Classification Authorities directly in their role of determining classification levels. In this context, both the claims lack the specificity and accuracy required to deem them correct, leading to the conclusion that both statements are indeed incorrect. This understanding underlines the distinct roles of various security practitioners and their specializations within the broader field of security.
