CompTIA PK0-005 Practice Test 61

Question 600

The team follows this response: Grant least privilege based on the role and approved task. Context: temporary project testers are granted global administrator permissions. Which evidence BEST verifies the intended outcome?

Test the account can perform approved duties and cannot perform unauthorized changes
Check physical entry logs and authorization match the maintenance roster
Validate connection logs show compliant authentication and authorized endpoints
Verify handling follows the data security and media-control policy

Explanation

Correct Answer

Test the account can perform approved duties and cannot perform unauthorized changes. That evidence tests the response to temporary project testers are granted global administrator permissions instead of an unrelated project condition.

Incorrect Answers

This check would validate physical access, not the result required by the least privilege case. Physical security protects infrastructure through controlled premises access.

This check would validate remote-access policy, not the result required by the least privilege case. Remote access must comply with organizational security restrictions.

This check would validate removable media, not the result required by the least privilege case. Removable media poses confidentiality and malware risks requiring control.

Question 601

A contractor needs read-only configuration status but receives write access. Which principle MOST directly explains how the project should be managed?

Operational security includes personnel vetting where required by policy
Least privilege minimizes exposure from unnecessary permissions
MFA reduces reliance on a single compromised credential
Physical security protects infrastructure through controlled premises access

Explanation

Correct Answer

Least privilege minimizes exposure from unnecessary permissions. The situation involves a contractor needs read-only configuration status but receives write access, so this is the governing distinction.

Incorrect Answers

That principle concerns background screening rather than the problem of least privilege. Operational security includes personnel vetting where required by policy.

That principle concerns multifactor authentication rather than the problem of least privilege. MFA reduces reliance on a single compromised credential.

That principle concerns physical access rather than the problem of least privilege. Physical security protects infrastructure through controlled premises access.

Question 602

A contractor needs read-only configuration status but receives write access. Which caution is MOST directly relevant to the project manager's decision?

Participation in testing does not imply a need for broad administrator rights
All project documents should not automatically receive identical open access
Convenience is not sufficient justification for unmanaged portable storage
Having an approved project plan does not automatically grant facility entry

Explanation

Correct Answer

Participation in testing does not imply a need for broad administrator rights. The underlying reason is that least privilege minimizes exposure from unnecessary permissions.

Incorrect Answers

Question 606

A privileged PMO portal suffers credential reuse attempts. Which caution is MOST directly relevant to the project manager's decision?

A strong password alone does not provide independent authentication factors
Having an approved project plan does not automatically grant facility entry
Participation in testing does not imply a need for broad administrator rights
Convenience is not sufficient justification for unmanaged portable storage

Explanation

Correct Answer

A strong password alone does not provide independent authentication factors. The underlying reason is that mFA reduces reliance on a single compromised credential.

Incorrect Answers

This is a caution about physical access, not the immediate risk in multifactor authentication. Physical security protects infrastructure through controlled premises access.

This is a caution about least privilege, not the immediate risk in multifactor authentication. Least privilege minimizes exposure from unnecessary permissions.

This is a caution about removable media, not the immediate risk in multifactor authentication. Removable media poses confidentiality and malware risks requiring control.

Question 607

An equipment cutover allows unescorted visitors into a restricted server room. Which project-management action BEST addresses this situation?
