Question 480
Following an incident at a hospital floor, the WLAN team documented this condition: A building proposes using nearby BLE tag encounters to unlock a restricted laboratory door without authenticating the badge owner. Which ongoing safeguard MOST directly prevents recurrence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Keep proximity analytics separate from critical physical access authentication. This repeatable safeguard addresses the mechanism—co-location and BLE visibility do not prove a person's authorization to enter restricted space—and reduces the chance that the specific fault recurs.
Incorrect Answers
Automate proximity-record expiry and legal exception handling. This protects against another issue—an incident review requests six months of all worker proximity histories despite the approved emergency trace period being much shorter—but is not the most direct prevention for a building proposes using nearby BLE tag encounters to unlock a restricted laboratory door without authenticating the badge owner.
Document proximity accuracy limits in operational reports and policies. This protects against another issue—a site manager interprets two BLE tags detected by the same AP as proof that their wearers were within arm's reach for ten minutes—but is not the most direct prevention for a building proposes using nearby BLE tag encounters to unlock a restricted laboratory door without authenticating the badge owner.
State accuracy assumptions and survey validation for Wi-Fi-based location use cases. This protects against another issue—a visitor-tracking report treats Wi-Fi association location as an exact indoor coordinate even though it identifies only the connected AP—but is not the most direct prevention for a building proposes using nearby BLE tag encounters to unlock a restricted laboratory door without authenticating the badge owner.
