Which type of access is associated with the Low Tier?

• A. Physical and logical access (HSPD-12)
• B. Q access
• C. 'L' access
• D. No access

Answer: (A)

Low Tier focuses on a basic level of access that uses a single secure credential to grant both physical entry to facilities and logical access to information systems. This dual capability comes from following the HSPD-12 standard, which defines a secure federal identity credential that can be used for building entry and for authenticating to networks and applications. That combination makes physical and logical access the natural pairing for Low Tier, since the credential supports both kinds of access in a unified way. The other options don’t fit because they aren’t standard terms mapped to this tier, and claiming “No access” would contradict the idea of a tier designed to grant entry and system access.
