CIPS L6M7 Exam - Topic 1 Question 33 Discussion

Posted by Kayleigh on Oct 25, 2026 at 12:48 PM

Bob is the CEO of Big Leaf Company and has a lot of sensitive data on his phone. The IT department has advised Bob he should increase his security measures to protect unwanted people accessing his phone, which he often leaves on his desk when he goes to Board Meetings. Which of the following would be most useful to Bob?

Suggested Answer: B

Multi-factor authentication would be the most useful to protect a mobile phone. Multi-factor authentication uses three things: something you know (password), something you have (a secret code or token), and something you are (biometric scan). This is more secure than biometrics alone. CCTV does not prevent someone from accessing Bob's phone. A firewall is better suited for an IT system or intranet. P.187

I practiced a similar question where multi-factor authentication was the best answer, so I'm leaning towards that for this scenario as well.

I feel like CCTV might not really help with protecting the data on his phone directly, but it could deter physical theft.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think biometrics could be a strong option too, especially since Bob's phone is often left unattended.

I remember discussing multi-factor authentication in class; it seems like a solid choice for protecting sensitive data.
