Which of the following BEST provides access control to
payroll data being processed on a local server?
A. Logging of access to personal information
B. Separate password for sensitive transactions
C. Software restricts access rules to authorized staff
D. System access restricted to business hours
Answer / guest
Answer: C
The server and system security should be defined to allow
only authorized staff access to information about the staff
whose records they handle on a day to day basis. Choice A is
a good control in that it will allow access to be analyzed
if there is concern that there is unauthorized access.
However, it will not prevent access. Choice B, restricting
access to sensitive transactions, will only restrict access
to part of the data. It will not prevent access to other
data. Choice D, system access restricted to business hours,
only restricts when unauthorized access can occur, and would
not prevent such access at other times.
