Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Business requirements may necessitate opening information systems to nonemployee
personneltemporary personnel, vendors, partner personnel (employees of business partners),
and the public. In the case of temporary, vendor, and partner personnel, a contract that governs
an activity should call for security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of data and information
system resources involved. Companies should require vendors and partners to perform
appropriate screening and security training. The contract also should mention specific security
responsibilities that are particular to the work to be performed. Companies should provide
accounts and passwords with the least privilege and remove those accounts as soon as possible.
Although temporary personnel can be screened, to reduce costs the screening will be abbreviated
from that for employees. But in most cases, companies cannot screen either vendor or partner
personnel. Public users cannot be screened at all.
