An organization wants to ensure that its employees adhere to the company's acceptable use guidelines. Which of the following controls would BEST help achieve this goal?
Installing antivirus software on all employee computers.
Encrypting network communications with SSL/TLS.
Setting up surveillance cameras in work areas.
Implementing security policies and conducting regular compliance audits.
Implementing security policies and conducting regular compliance audits is a managerial control that ensures employees are aware of the guidelines and that adherence is monitored. This approach helps enforce organizational rules and identifies areas where further training may be needed. Installing antivirus software on all employee computers is a technical control focused on malware prevention, not policy adherence. Setting up surveillance cameras in work areas is a physical control aimed at physical security, which does not directly enforce acceptable use policies. Encrypting network communications with SSL/TLS is a technical control that protects data in transit but does not address whether employees follow company guidelines.
