A company requires a task to be carried by more than one person concurrently. This is an example of:

Question

Options

• Aseparation of d duties.
• Bdual control
• Cleast privilege
• Djob rotation

• A
  93% (57)
• B
  3% (2)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

Separation of duties (SoD) is a control that divides a task or process so that no single individual can complete it alone, requiring the involvement of more than one person. This prevents fraud, error, and abuse of privilege by ensuring collusion would be required for misuse. While dual control (B) is a related concept - specifically requiring two people to act simultaneously (e.g., two keys to open a vault) - SoD more broadly encompasses any requirement that multiple parties be involved in completing a sensitive task. Least privilege (C) restricts access rights to the minimum needed for a role. Job rotation (D) moves employees through different roles over time. The question's phrasing of requiring a task to be carried out by more than one person maps most directly to separation of duties in the context of this exam.
