Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
Why this is correct
An Acceptable Use Policy defines permitted employee use of company systems and networks, explicitly prohibiting access to inappropriate websites. It directly governs the behaviour described, making it the policy that addresses misuse of company resources for browsing inappropriate content.
- ✗
Remote access policy
Why it's wrong here
A remote access policy governs how external users connect to internal systems, covering VPN, authentication and endpoint requirements, not what sites employees browse. It is tempting because the behaviour involves company resources, but the scenario concerns acceptable use of those resources, not remote connectivity.
- ✗
Information security policy
Why it's wrong here
An information security policy governs data classification, handling and acceptable use broadly, not specifically web browsing on company resources. It is tempting because it is the umbrella document covering employee conduct, but the acceptable use policy is the one that directly addresses inappropriate website access.
- ✗
Password policy
Why it's wrong here
A password policy defines complexity, length, expiry and reuse rules for credentials; it says nothing about which websites an employee may visit. It is tempting because it is a familiar security control tied to user accounts, but the behaviour concerns acceptable use of company resources, not authentication strength.
