Selected Answer: B
Compensating controls are alternative security measures that are implemented in the absence of a specific control or when the existing control is insufficient to mitigate a risk. These controls provide an alternative means of reducing the risk or addressing the vulnerability until a proper fix or patch is available. They are designed to compensate for the lack of a primary control and help maintain an acceptable level of security. By implementing compensating controls, organizations can mitigate the risks associated with the vulnerability and protect their systems and data until a patch or fix is released. These controls may include additional monitoring, enhanced access controls, increased logging and auditing, or other measures that provide an equivalent level of protection.
