Which statement reflects the PRP approach to deterrence and ongoing risk management?

• A. Punish violations without regard to risk factors.
• B. Ongoing screening and monitoring to deter insiders and maintain reliability.
• C. Replace staff with temporary contractors.
• D. Publicize every violation to the entire workforce.

Answer: (B)

Ongoing screening and monitoring to deter insiders and maintain reliability is how PRP keeps the workforce trustworthy for mission-critical roles. PRP is about continuously evaluating personnel for fitness and reliability, not just reacting after a violation. By conducting periodic re-screening, background checks, performance and behavior monitoring, and appropriate oversight, potential risks are detected early and mitigated, which deters insider threats and preserves the integrity of the critical workforce. This proactive stance contrasts with punishing violations without considering risk factors, replacing staff with temporary contractors, or publicizing every violation to the entire workforce, all of which undermine reliability, confidentiality, or morale.
