SPēD SAPPC - PHYSEC EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
B. It must be in an area designated as a Restricted Area - Answers When designing a new multi-story
government Special Access Program Facility (SAPF), the architect provided identical drawings for two
three-story buildings to the security officer. One drawing is for a building on the installation to be
occupied only by contracting Company X. The other is for the command headquarters building on the
installation.The design reveals floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor for the main conference
rooms and front office staff. The drawings indicate a parking lot adjacent to the building separated by a
four-foot-wide, handicap-accessible sidewalk. The architect placed emergency exits and stairwells at
each end of the building with door hardware on the exterior to facilitate access/egress. The floor plans
show interior office and conference room doors with GSA-approved locks and connectivity to the
building access control badge system. The front door drawings indicate a large safety glass key lock entry
door with the unit logo and designation etched in the glass. The single entry door provides access into
the building lobby where visit control staff will greet people and in-process visitors. The plans identify
lock boxes to be placed inside the lobby for visitors and employees to store their electronic digital
devices and other prohibited items. The architect designed an open lobby leading to interior hallways,
an elevator and access to the stairways. He placed the access control system central processing unit
(CPU) behind the visit control desk. Typically, the CPU is located in the dispatch center.
As a result, which of the following is true regarding the placement of the CPU?
A. It may remain in the building lobby because the doors serve as adequate access control.
B. It must be in an area designated as a Restricted Area.
C. It must be in an area designated as a Sensitive Comp
