CCSP Facility Security & Access Control Flashcards

Which of the following is a requirement for how screened cargo must be physically stored to maintain its security status?

Answer: In a designated, secured area inaccessible to unscreened cargo

Screened cargo must be held in a dedicated, secured area segregated from unscreened cargo to prevent contamination of its security status.

What is the role of tamper-evident seals in the physical security of a CCSP facility?

Answer: They provide visual evidence if cargo has been accessed after screening

Tamper-evident seals provide a visible indicator if cargo has been opened or accessed after it was screened and sealed, maintaining chain of custody integrity.

When a CCSF experiences a power outage affecting access control systems, what must occur?

Answer: Manual security protocols must be activated to maintain access control

CCSFs must have contingency procedures including manual security protocols to maintain access control during power outages or system failures.

What is required when a CCSF employee who had access to screened cargo areas is terminated?

Answer: Immediately revoke all access credentials

Access credentials must be immediately revoked upon employee termination to prevent former employees from accessing screened cargo areas.

A CCSF conducts an annual security self-audit. What is the primary purpose of this audit?

Answer: To identify and correct security vulnerabilities before a TSA inspection

Annual self-audits help CCSFs proactively identify security gaps and correct them, ensuring ongoing compliance with TSA security program requirements.

What must a CCSF do if it relocates or significantly modifies its physical facility layout?

Answer: Notify TSA and obtain approval before the changes affect security posture

Significant physical modifications must be reported to and approved by TSA before implementation, as they may affect the facility's approved Security Program.
