Explanation

The CCTV system and signs about the possibility of being filmed serve as both deterrent and detective controls. Deterrent controls: Aim to discourage potential attackers from attempting unauthorized actions. Posting signs about CCTV serves as a deterrent by warning individuals that their actions are being monitored. Detective controls: Identify and record unauthorized or suspicious activity. The CCTV system itself functions as a detective control by capturing and recording footage that can be reviewed Preventive controls: Aim to prevent security incidents but are not directly addressed by the CCTV and signs in this context. Corrective controls: Aim to correct or mitigate the impact of a security incident. Directive controls: Provide guidelines or instructions but are not directly addressed by the CCTV Compensating controls: Provide alternative measures to compensate for the absence or failure of primary controls.
