Gavin recently posted signs around his organization’s facility warning visitors that the area is under 24 hour video surveillance. What term best describes this control?
A. Detective
B. Deterrent
C. Preventive
D. Corrective
Correct Answer: B
The key to answering this question is to realize that it is asking about the posting of signs, not the installation of a video surveillance system. The signs themselves do not perform any detective function. Instead, they act to deter visitors from engaging in unauthorized activity due to the threat of detection by video surveillance (which may or may not actually exist).
