I believe the vendor should also ensure that there is always at least one guard on-site to monitor security systems and premises.

Clearly the vendor needs to ensure that the guards are doing their jobs properly, right? Like, if they're just sleeping on the job or playing Angry Birds all day, that's a problem.

Yeah, but then you've got that bit about the HSA and the security control room. That's some next-level stuff right there. I'm not sure I'd be able to keep track of all those moving parts.

Hold up, what about that 24/7 guard coverage? Isn't that a pretty standard requirement? I feel like that should be a gimme on this exam.

Hmm, I think option B is the way to go. Keeping those guard and reception duties separate is crucial for maintaining security. Can't have any funny business going on, am I right?

I'm not sure about this one. It's not exactly clear what they're looking for. Do they want us to pick the most comprehensive answer or the one that's the most specific?
