I’m a bit confused; I thought auditing was more about monitoring rather than an administrative control. Can someone clarify?

I feel like all of these could be considered administrative controls in some way, but I’m leaning towards A and B for sure.

Okay, I remember learning that administrative controls are policies, procedures, and training that help manage and protect information systems. I think I've got this!

Security awareness training and security policy are definitely administrative controls. I'm not as sure about data backup and auditing, though. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about the difference between administrative, physical, and technical controls. I'll need to review my notes to make sure I select the right options.

I'm just hoping the exam doesn't have a question about selecting the correct color of the fire extinguisher. That's when I start questioning my life choices.

Acing this exam is like herding cats, but I think I've got it. A, B, and D are the administrative controls. C is more of a physical control, like a vault for data backups. Time to celebrate with a victory dance!

I'm pretty sure A, B, and D are the right answers. C is more of a technical control, like backing up data. But hey, at least it's not a question about quantum computing!
