What does visitor handling in a physical security policy typically involve?

• A. Procedures for checking in/out visitors, escorts, and access restrictions.
• B. Guidelines for employee performance reviews.
• C. Procedures for internal budgeting.
• D. Instructions for office cleaning.

Answer: (A)

Visitor handling in a physical security policy is about controlling who enters a facility and how they move inside it. It covers how visitors check in and out, whether they must be escorted, and what areas they’re permitted to access. This creates a clear, traceable record of visitors, helps prevent unauthorized entry, and reduces risks like tailgating or wandering into restricted zones. Other options don’t address entry controls or movement for non-employees; they relate to employee performance reviews, budgeting, or office cleaning, which aren’t about safeguarding the physical site.
