What is the purpose of badge revocation and access amendments in an access control system?

• A. To permanently grant access to all employees.
• B. To immediately restrict former or compromised personnel and reflect changes in roles or departures.
• C. To disable security cameras.
• D. To increase vendor access rights.

Answer: (B)

Managing access rights through badge revocation and amendments is about keeping entry permissions accurate as people come and go or change roles. When someone leaves or a credential is compromised, revoking the badge stops any entry attempts immediately. When a person moves to a new role, updating their access ensures they can reach only the areas they truly need, supporting least privilege and reducing risk. This approach prevents former employees or compromised individuals from slipping in and avoids giving unnecessary access. The other options miss the point: permanently granting access to everyone is unsafe, disabling cameras doesn’t affect who can enter, and increasing vendor rights unnecessarily raises risk.
