A technician, Anne, is working on the CEO's laptop and notices that there are some confidential documents scattered all over the desk. Which of the following is the BEST course of action to follow?

Reading confidential documents without authorization is a serious privacy and ethical violation, regardless of the technician's curiosity about company rules.

Moving documents without the owner's knowledge is an unauthorized handling of confidential materials and does not address the security risk.

Ignoring the documents fails to address an active confidentiality risk and does not reflect professional responsibility to flag potential security concerns.

Contacting the CEO and asking them to secure the documents is the correct professional and ethical response. It respects the confidentiality of sensitive materials, protects the technician from any accusation of unauthorized access, and ensures the documents are handled by their authorized owner without delay.
