ASIS-PSP Exam Dumps - ASIS Physical Security Professional Questions and Answers

In physical security terminology, a " facility " refers to any plant, building, office, institution, or industrial/commercial complex along with all its associated functions and structures that are part of an integrated operation. This includes everything from administrative buildings to warehouses and utility structures.

This definition helps determine the scope of security assessments and protective strategies under Domain 1 of the PSP program, " Physical Security Assessment. "

“Contents” (B) refers to the items inside a facility.

“Interior” (C) refers to internal areas within a facility.

“Padlocks” (D) are physical locking devices and do not define a type of structure or location.

Piecemeal security refers to the ad hoc or fragmented implementation of security measures without an overarching strategic plan. Security elements are added reactively, often after an incident or perceived risk, rather than being guided by a coordinated risk assessment. This results in inconsistent, sometimes redundant or ineffective protection efforts, leaving gaps in security coverage.

X.25 is a standard protocol suite developed by the Consultative Committee for International Telephone and Telegraph (CCITT), now known as ITU-T. It is one of the earliest protocols used for WAN communications, enabling reliable data transfer across public networks using packet switching.

XA.10 (B), CXA 1.23 (C), and X.20 (D) are not recognized standards for WAN protocols.

Fail-safe locks are designed to unlock automatically when power is removed. This ensures people can exit during emergencies such as fire alarms or power outages. It is a critical safety requirement in most building codes.

A may be true for integrated systems but doesn’t define fail-safe.

B describes fail-secure, which keeps the door locked during power failure.

D (Tamper resistance) relates to durability, not fail-safe function.

The prediction of internal crime (e.g., theft, fraud) heavily relies on historical data to identify patterns, vulnerable departments, and recurring behaviors. This data-driven approach informs proactive security strategies.

A (Background checks) are preventive, not predictive.

B and C offer useful insights but are not the primary basis for trend analysis.

The multifactor approach examines terrorism through multiple dimensions, including psychological, sociological, ideological, and organizational factors. It analyzes how individuals are recruited, indoctrinated, and motivated within terrorist networks. This is key in understanding the behavioral patterns and lifecycle of a terrorist.

Recruitment into jihadist or other terrorist movements typically involves identifying individuals vulnerable to radical ideology, indoctrinating them through propaganda and religious misinterpretation, and then training them for operational activities, including attacks or support roles.

After a risk assessment is completed, the first step for a project manager is to create a concept design. This outlines the proposed system and supports budget justification and strategic alignment with management’s objectives. Gaining senior management buy-in is essential before progressing to detailed design or procurement.

A (RFI) may follow concept approval.

C (Construction documents) are created much later.

D (Implementation planning) is dependent on approved design and funding.

Comprehensive Detailed Explanation:

A Business Impact Analysis (BIA) identifies and prioritizes critical business functions that are essential to the survival and continuity of operations. The results of the BIA help guide recovery strategies, resource allocation, and business continuity planning.

A (Budget) and B (Personnel allocation) are determined later, informed by the BIA.

C (Number of hot sites) is a strategic outcome but not the direct purpose of the BIA.

Comprehensive Detailed Explanation:

A project is defined as a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result. In security, examples include designing and installing a new access control system or conducting a vulnerability assessment.

A (Scope of work) outlines what a project includes.

B (Work breakdown structure) is a tool used in managing a project.

D (System) refers to a set of components working together, not the temporary process to build it.
