Explanation

This pairing combines two dimensions: the control function (Preventive - designed to stop security incidents before they occur) and the control category (Administrative - consisting of policies, procedures, and human-related governance). All the listed examples are policy- or people-driven measures intended to prevent security breaches proactively: background checks prevent hiring bad actors, termination procedures prevent insider threats, training prevents accidental violations. They are not technical (software/hardware) or physical (tangible barriers), and they are preventive rather than detective (reactive).
