Which item is addressed by physical security?

• A. Physical security
• B. Action plans
• C. Contingency planning
• D. An element review

Answer: (A)

Physical security focuses on protecting people, facilities, and equipment from physical threats such as intruders, tampering, theft, or environmental hazards. It covers controls like restricted access, locks, badges, surveillance cameras, alarms, guards, and secure storage, especially for sensitive locations like data centers or server rooms.

Because the question asks what item is addressed by physical security, the option that matches this domain is physical security itself—the measures and controls that keep physical assets safe. The other options relate to planning or evaluation activities (response actions, continuity planning, or reviews) and are not the direct focus of physical security.
