Is escorting/piggybacking allowed in the SIDA environment?

• A. Always allowed
• B. Allowed only with supervisor approval
• C. Prohibited unless authorized by security
• D. Prohibited

Answer: (D)

Access to SIDA areas is strictly controlled by individual verification and approved entry procedures. Piggybacking—someone following another person through a door or gate without presenting their own credentials—undermines that control and can allow an unverified person into restricted space. The system relies on each person being properly identified and accounted for, so simply letting someone enter behind you isn’t permitted. If someone needs access, they must go through the authorized process and, if required, be escorted under the approved procedures with their own credentials. In short, piggybacking is not allowed in SIDA environments.
