Contractors at a civic garage routinely share one badge to speed entry. Some leaders call the habit 'security theater' and leave it off the risk list. How should the risk manager treat badge sharing?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Sharing a badge is like handing out master keys at a hotel—you lose who went where and when. That is personnel and access risk, not theater. It ties straight to physical entry and whatever systems sit behind those doors.
Full Explanation
Badge sharing undermines identity assurance and accountability for who enters controlled spaces. It is a personnel/access-control risk with physical security and information implications when badges also unlock systems or sensitive areas. Dismissing the practice as theater leaves identity, audit, and intrusion pathways unaddressed.
