Why each option
Physical security measures like fencing and cipher locks fall under the 'Safety' control category, which focuses on protecting people and physical assets from harm or unauthorized access.
Integrity refers to ensuring data is accurate and unaltered, not physical access controls.
Availability refers to ensuring systems and data are accessible when needed, not physical barriers.
Confidentiality refers to protecting information from unauthorized disclosure, not physical perimeter security.
Safety controls encompass physical security mechanisms such as perimeter fencing and cipher locks that prevent unauthorized physical access to facilities and protect personnel. These controls are distinct from logical security controls and address threats in the physical environment rather than data or system integrity.
