Control 6.1 Screening is the ISO/IEC 27002 control that helps organizations ensure employees and contractors are suitable for their roles. Screening is performed before employment or engagement, and it should be proportionate to business requirements, information classification, access levels, legal requirements, and the risks associated with the role. It may include verification of identity, qualifications, employment history, references, criminal record checks where lawful and appropriate, and professional credentials. The goal is not unnecessary intrusion; the goal is to reduce the risk that unsuitable individuals receive access to sensitive information, systems, facilities, or responsibilities. Control 6.4, Disciplinary process, deals with responding to policy violations after employment has begun. Control 6.7, Remote working, addresses security arrangements for work outside organizational premises. Neither directly verifies suitability before assigning a role. ISO/IEC 27002 treats people controls as essential because insider risk, negligence, excessive access, and role mismatch can create significant security exposure. Therefore, option A is the verified answer.

Confidentiality means that information is protected from unauthorized disclosure or availability. The correct statement is option A because it expresses the essential confidentiality concept: information must not be made available or disclosed to unauthorized individuals, entities, or processes. ISO/IEC 27002 supports confidentiality through controls such as information classification, labelling, access control, identity management, authentication, cryptography, data masking, information transfer rules, and data leakage prevention. The purpose is to ensure that only approved users, systems, or processes can view or receive information according to business need and authorization. Option B describes integrity, because accuracy and completeness relate to whether information remains correct and unaltered. Option C describes availability, because accessibility and usability on demand relate to authorized access when needed. In ISO/IEC 27002, many controls are mapped to confidentiality, integrity, and availability through control attributes. A confidentiality breach can occur through excessive internal access, accidental disclosure, lost media, weak access permissions, exposed credentials, or insecure transfer.

System requirements should not be the primary factor listed for locating and constructing physical premises in the ISO/IEC 27002 physical security context. When selecting and constructing premises, organizations should consider physical and environmental threats such as local topography, flood risk, earthquake exposure, weather conditions, crime levels, civil unrest, neighboring facilities, hazardous sites, and urban threats. These considerations help reduce risks to secure areas, information processing facilities, equipment, personnel, and supporting utilities. Local topography is relevant because geography can influence flooding, landslides, access routes, drainage, and natural hazards. Urban threats are relevant because location can affect exposure to crime, protests, terrorism, traffic disruption, adjacent buildings, or public access. System requirements are important in technology design and facility planning, but they are not the type of environmental or location threat consideration targeted by this question. ISO/IEC 27002 physical controls emphasize protecting premises from physical and environmental risks, not choosing location based on application or system functional requirements. Therefore, option C is verified.
