CSA Access Control 2

Question 1

What is a 'mantrap' or 'airlock' in a cargo facility access control system?

Accepted Answer

A double-door entry system where the first door must close before the second opens

Answer

A mantrap is a dual-door vestibule that prevents tailgating by requiring full closure and authentication before the inner door opens.

Question 2

What does 'need-to-know' mean when applied to cargo facility access?

Accepted Answer

Employees should only access information and areas required to perform their specific job duties

Answer

The need-to-know principle limits access to only what is necessary, reducing insider threat risk and information leakage.

Question 3

Which of the following is an example of a two-factor authentication method for cargo area access?

Accepted Answer

A key card plus a PIN code

Answer

Two-factor authentication combines something you have (a key card) with something you know (a PIN), making unauthorized access much harder.

Question 4

What is the correct procedure when an authorized employee loses their access badge?

Accepted Answer

Immediately deactivate the lost badge and issue a temporary replacement after identity verification

Answer

Lost badges must be deactivated immediately to prevent unauthorized use, and a replacement issued only after proper identity verification.

Question 5

How should visitor access to a secure cargo area be managed?

Accepted Answer

Visitors must be escorted by an authorized employee at all times

Answer

Escort requirements ensure visitors cannot access sensitive areas unsupervised, maintaining the integrity of the secure zone.
