    Unless directed by the client to the contrary, client data should always be encrypted when stored on portable media.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Client data should always be encrypted when stored on portable media to ensure its security and prevent unauthorized access. Encrypting the data adds an extra layer of protection, making it more difficult for hackers or unauthorized individuals to read or use the information if the portable media is lost or stolen. This helps to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of the client's data, which is crucial for maintaining trust and compliance with data protection regulations.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False

    This statement is an overstatement and cannot be completely true. While Discovia's network may have strong security measures in place, it is impossible to claim that viruses cannot get in. No network can guarantee 100% protection against all types of viruses. It is always important to have additional security measures and precautions in place to minimize the risk of viruses and other cyber threats.

    No one should ask for my password except for IT

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "No one should ask for my password except for IT" implies that only the IT department should ask for the password. However, this is not true. It is important to be cautious and not share passwords with anyone, including the IT department. It is best to follow proper security protocols and only provide passwords when necessary and through secure channels. Sharing passwords can lead to unauthorized access and compromise of personal or sensitive information.

    You can opt out of using a laptop lock for your machine if you only work in the office

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    It is not advisable to opt out of using a laptop lock even if you only work in the office. While the risk of theft may be lower in the office, there is still a possibility of unauthorized access or theft by employees or visitors. Additionally, laptops are portable and can be easily taken outside of the office, increasing the risk of theft. Therefore, it is important to use a laptop lock to ensure the security of the device and any sensitive information it may contain.

    • Preserve the current state of the operating system

    • Disconnect the computer from the network

    • B,C, and D

    Correct Answer
    A. B,C, and D
    Explanation
    If a computer is believed to be infected by a virus, it is important to notify the IT department so that they can take appropriate action to address the issue. Preserving the current state of the operating system is also crucial as it can help in identifying the virus and potentially recovering any lost data. Disconnecting the computer from the network is necessary to prevent the virus from spreading to other systems. Therefore, options B, C, and D are all necessary steps to take in such a situation.

    Installing software is ok as long as:

    • The client requires we use it

    • This is a trick question, installing software on my computer is never ok

    • The software is to make my computer perform better (anti-virus, reg cleaner.)

    • It is approved for use by IT Operations

    • There is a useful business application for it

    Correct Answer
    A. It is approved for use by IT Operations
    Explanation
    Installing software on a computer should only be done if it is approved for use by IT Operations. This ensures that the software is compatible with the system and meets the necessary security and operational requirements. Installing software without approval can lead to compatibility issues, security vulnerabilities, and potential violations of company policies. Therefore, it is important to follow the proper procedures and obtain approval before installing any software on a computer.

    E-mail is an acceptable means to receive client data if it’s just a few documents or a single PST.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because e-mail is not an acceptable means to receive client data, even if it's just a few documents or a single PST. E-mail is not a secure method of transferring sensitive data, as it can be intercepted or hacked. It is recommended to use more secure methods such as encrypted file transfer or secure file sharing platforms to protect client data.

    Production media may be kept at my desk as long as it’s inside of the card key protected suite.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because production media should not be kept at the desk, even if it is inside a card key protected suite. It is important to store production media in a secure and designated location to prevent unauthorized access or potential damage. Keeping it at the desk increases the risk of loss, theft, or accidental exposure to unauthorized individuals.

    A client reports possible corruption of source files while conducting doc review. To investigate the source of the trouble:

    • The project manager should download the source file to their local laptop for further examination and/or repair.

    • The file should be emailed as an attachment to Operations and/or Forensics (as appropriate) for their examination and advice.

    • The file should be examined from the network drive or download locally to an Operations virtual machine or Forensics lab computer.

    • The file should be emailed to the client so they can confirm it has been corrected.

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. The file should be examined from the network drive or download locally to an Operations virtual machine or Forensics lab computer.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to examine the file from the network drive or download it locally to an Operations virtual machine or Forensics lab computer. This approach allows for a thorough examination of the file while minimizing the risk of further corruption or loss of data. By analyzing the file in a controlled environment, the project manager can accurately assess the extent of the corruption and determine the appropriate course of action for repair or recovery.

  • 16. 

    Personal e-mail should not be used under any circumstances while at work.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Using personal e-mail at work is generally discouraged, but it is not always prohibited. Many companies have policies in place regarding the use of personal e-mail, and some may allow limited use for non-work-related purposes during designated break times. However, it is important to exercise caution and use personal e-mail responsibly to ensure that it does not interfere with work productivity or compromise sensitive information. Therefore, the statement that personal e-mail should not be used under any circumstances while at work is too absolute and not entirely accurate.

    Using my personal laptop or home computer for company business is approved if:

    • The usage is limited to Terminal Server or OWA and company data is not stored locally

    • Actually it never is

    • It is not a Mac

    • It is approved by IT Operations

    • As a substitute for my company issued computer as long as I return the company machine to IT

    Correct Answer
    A. The usage is limited to Terminal Server or OWA and company data is not stored locally
    Explanation
    The correct answer states that using personal laptops or home computers for company business is approved only if the usage is limited to Terminal Server or OWA (Outlook Web Access) and company data is not stored locally. This means that employees can access company resources and perform work tasks using these approved methods, but they should not save any company data on their personal devices. This helps to ensure the security and integrity of company information.

    All of Discovia’s data is confidential

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
