Question
Which factor should be considered when choosing an access control system?
Options
- AAesthetics
- BSimplicity
- CPerformance
- DEfficiency
Explanation
The performance of an access control system includes its ability to effectively control access, reliability, scalability and compatibility with other systems (see ISC2 Study Guide Chapter 3, Module 1). The ability of the system to perform its intended function effectively and reliably is paramount. For example, an organization may be considering a biometric access control system. While this system may be more complex and less efficient than a simple keycard system, its overall security performance may be much higher. Therefore, the company might choose the biometric system despite its complexity and lower efficiency. While simplicity and efficiency are important, they are not the primary considerations. A simple or efficient system that does not effectively control access is not useful. The last option is incorrect because the aesthetics of the system is irrelevant to its function as access control.
