An efficient organization requires the proper alignment of people, processes, and technology. One of the ways good security policies can mitigate this risk is through enforcement. Which of the following situations is an example of enforcement?

A. an employee is required to submit weekly project updates to a manager
B. an employee completes a one-day orientation on security policies
C. an employee is given the authority to request a wire transfer, and a manager is required to approve the transfer
D. an employee is given a commendation for a successfully complying with polices in an annual review

Answer 1

an employee is given the authority to request a wire transfer, and a manager is required to approve the transfer

Step-by-step explanation:

An enforcement occurs when an employee is compelled to perform an action by someone in a position of power. It involves the policy to be implemented, the employee and the manager that enforces the compliance to the set rules.

When an employee performs a transaction and the manager is required to approve it, the company is making sure enforcement is used as a tool to mitigate risk.

Enforcement gives the power to make sure employees are doing the right thing, and any deviation from the expected action will attract sanctions.

Answer 2

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the scenario it can be said that the situation that is an example of this would be an "employee is given the authority to request a wire transfer, and a manager is required to approve the transfer." This is because this provides a level of prevention for the company in which another individual has to enforce that everything is done correctly, such as the manager approving the wire transfer, he has to make sure that there are no errors or fraud being made that can otherwise cost the company money.
