Explanation

A site assessment will consider factors such as the sensitivity of the information or resources protected by each door, the cost of the scanners, and the impact on employees and operations (see ISC2 Study Guide Chapter 3, Module 1). The result of such site assessment should be the primary consideration when deciding whether to install biometric scanners on all of the organization's doors. For example, an organization may conduct a site assessment and determine that biometric scanners are needed on doors leading to sensitive areas, such as server rooms or executive offices, but not on doors leading to less sensitive areas, such as break rooms or supply closets. The popularity of biometric scanners is irrelevant to their effectiveness or appropriateness for a particular situation. Also, the number of doors in the building is not the most important factor and the function of the work area is only one of many factors to consider.
