ACS Security Practices & Data Protection 5

Question 1

A technician is auditing which apps have accessed sensitive permissions on an iPhone recently. Which iOS Privacy feature provides a log of app access to microphone, camera, and location?

Accepted Answer

App Privacy Report

Answer

App Privacy Report in iOS shows a time-stamped log of how often each app accessed sensitive data like camera, microphone, and location.

Question 2

Which setting on a Mac determines whether the system automatically installs security updates without user interaction?

Accepted Answer

System Settings > General > Software Update > Automatic Updates > Install Security Responses and System Files

Answer

The 'Install Security Responses and System Files' toggle in Automatic Updates allows macOS to apply Rapid Security Responses and critical patches without user input.

Question 3

What risk does 'Full Disk Access' in macOS Privacy settings mitigate when granted carefully?

Accepted Answer

It prevents unauthorized apps from reading sensitive system areas like Mail, Messages, and Time Machine backups

Answer

Full Disk Access grants an app unrestricted read access to protected data areas; controlling which apps receive it prevents unauthorized data exfiltration.

Question 4

A technician wants to ensure that a Mac's built-in firewall blocks all incoming connections except those required for basic internet services. Which firewall mode achieves this?

Accepted Answer

Block All Incoming Connections in the macOS Application Firewall

Answer

'Block All Incoming Connections' in the macOS Application Firewall allows only outbound traffic and essential responses, refusing all uninvited inbound connections.

Question 5

Which Apple technology allows users to share approximate location instead of precise location with apps on iOS and macOS?

Accepted Answer

Precise Location toggle in Privacy > Location Services per app

Answer

Each app in Privacy > Location Services has a 'Precise Location' toggle; disabling it shares only an approximate area rather than the exact GPS coordinates.
