Explanation

As businesses scale, three critical pain points consistently emerge: security policy creation and enforcement gets deprioritized due to limited time and staff (D), cloud adoption outpaces security controls leaving infrastructure unprotected (E), and new devices added during expansion often conflict with existing systems (F). These three represent structural gaps that directly expose growing organizations to risk - policy, cloud coverage, and hardware compatibility are foundational concerns that vendors like Cisco frame as core SMB security challenges.

The distractors are wrong for these reasons: A (growing too fast) is a business outcome, not a security problem category; B (inconsistent network monitoring) and C (inconsistent containment tools) describe symptoms of poor security tooling but are not the primary growth-driven pain points this question targets.

Memory tip: Think "PCD" - Policies (no time to enforce), Cloud (security doesn't reach it), Devices (incompatibility) - the three things that break when a small business starts scaling fast.
