Which acronym denotes System & Communication Protection?

• A. SC - System & Communication Protection
• B. AR - Accountability, Audit & Risk Management
• C. DI - Data Quality & Integrity
• D. UL - Use Limitation

Answer: (A)

System and Communications Protection is the label for a specific control family in FISMA/NIST-style frameworks, focused on safeguarding the system boundaries and the security of information as it moves across networks—things like boundary protections, cryptographic safeguards, and ensuring secure communications. The acronym that denotes this area is SC, because it directly matches the wording “System & Communications Protection.” That makes it the best answer since it literally stands for the correct domain. The other acronyms don’t map to this control family in standard taxonomy: AR isn’t the common abbreviation for Accountability, Audit & Risk Management (that space is usually AU for Audit and Accountability), and DI and UL aren’t recognized as names for System & Communications Protection.
