A compensating control is a security measure that is implemented to mitigate a risk that cannot be eliminated entirely. 1 In this case, blocking the high-risk website on endpoint protection software is a compensating control because it limits user access to the site, even though it may not be the ideal solution.
A compensating control is a security measure implemented to reduce risk when the primary control cannot be applied. If users need access to a high-risk website, enabling threat prevention features on the firewall serves as a compensating control by inspecting and filtering potentially malicious traffic to and from the site.
