IFMA CFM Exam - Topic 10 Question 7 Discussion

Actual exam question for IFMA's CFM exam
Question #: 7
Topic #: 10
[All CFM Questions]

What is a technical measure that prevents unauthorized people from gaining access to a facility work order system?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The best security practice to prevent unauthorized access is Identification and Authentication. This process ensures that only authorized personnel can access a facility's work order system by:

Using secure logins (e.g., username/password, biometrics, multi-factor authentication).

Verifying user identities before granting system access.

Implementing role-based permissions to control system functions per user authorization level.

While data encryption (Option B) secures stored data, it does not control system access. Similarly, a proprietary user interface (Option C) is not a security measure on its own, and an HR employee database (Option D) is unrelated to system security.

Wait, proprietary user interface? That doesn't sound right.

I’m confused; could a proprietary user interface also help with access? It seems like it might, but I’m not confident.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about data encryption being more about protecting data rather than access control.

I think identification and authentication is the right answer since it directly relates to controlling access.

A proprietary user interface might add an extra layer of security, but I don't think that's the primary technical measure they're looking for. I'll have to consider the other options.

C seems a bit outdated. A proprietary user interface? In this day and age, I'd go with the more robust solution of A.

I think C) Proprietary user interface could also be effective, as it limits access to only approved users.
