Which of these is a requirement of the security control room?
A . Access must be controlled by a physical key (in case of power-failure)
B . Access must be monitored in real-time
C . At least one guard must be present at all times
D . Dual-control must be used to grant entry

Answer: B

Explanation:

According to the PCI Card Production and Provisioning Physical Security Requirements, the security control room is the area where the security systems are monitored and controlled. The requirement for the security control room is that access must be monitored in real-time by a guard or an automated system that alerts the guard of any unauthorized access attempts. The security control room must also be protected by physical barriers and access control devices that prevent unauthorized entry. The other options are not requirements of the security control room, although they may be implemented as additional security measures.
