Which statement about access control is true?

• A. Access to SIDA areas is controlled by badge credentials.
• B. Access to SIDA areas is allowed with a visitor pass.
• C. Access to SIDA areas is unrestricted.
• D. Access to SIDA areas does not require identity verification.

Answer: (A)

Access control is about ensuring only people with the right credentials can enter restricted areas. In SIDA, the badge is the primary credential used to grant access. At entry points, badge readers verify that your badge is valid, not expired, and that you have the appropriate permissions for the area. If you don’t have an active badge or your access isn’t authorized for that location, entry is denied. Visitor passes may be used for temporary access under supervision, but they do not by themselves authorize entry to SIDA spaces. Unrestricted access or no identity verification would defeat the purpose of SIDA security, so those statements aren’t true.
