Which of the following is NOT a typical physical security control at a warehouse?

• A. Fencing
• B. Lighting
• C. CCTV
• D. Inventory management software

Answer: (D)

This question tests the distinction between physical security measures and non-physical controls in a warehouse. Fencing, lighting, and CCTV are all physical security controls because they directly affect access, visibility, or monitoring of the facility—fences create a barrier, lighting reduces hiding spots and enhances detection, and CCTV provides surveillance and recorded evidence. Inventory management software, while vital for tracking stock and supporting security decisions, is an information/administrative control. It doesn’t by itself physically prevent entry or monitor the premises; it helps manage data and alerts but relies on physical controls to enforce security. So inventory management software is not a typical physical security control.
