Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Limiting the organization to only one type of operating system.
Why it's wrong here
Restricting technology choices is not a scalable way to handle growth and may hinder business innovation.
- ✓
Designing security controls that are modular and can be easily integrated.
Why this is correct
Modular design allows for easier integration into new environments as the organization grows.
- ✗
Requiring all security configurations to be manually audited daily.
Why it's wrong here
Manual processes do not scale and are prone to human error.
- ✓
Automating security controls and workflows to reduce manual overhead.
Why this is correct
Automation is key to scaling without a proportional increase in headcount.
- ✗
Maintaining all security data in a single, local spreadsheet.
Why it's wrong here
Centralized, non-scalable tools like spreadsheets are a bottleneck for growth.
