A company has a policy that employees may only install apps from the official app store. However, an employee needs a specific app that is only available from the developer's website. The employee asks IT for an exception. What should IT do to balance security and business needs?

Deny the request because the policy is absolute.

Tell the employee to use a personal device for that app.

Allow the exception only if the app is vetted by IT, the developer is reputable, and the app is installed with minimal permissions.

Allow the employee to install the app but require them to sign a waiver.

A field technician uses a company-issued Android phone to take photos of equipment and record maintenance notes. The technician is often in remote areas with poor connectivity. The company wants to ensure that the technician's data is backed up regularly and can be restored if the phone is lost or damaged. Which backup strategy is most appropriate?

Disable backups to save storage space and rely on the phone's internal memory.

Configure the phone to back up automatically to the company's encrypted cloud storage whenever the phone has a Wi-Fi connection.

Back up only the photos to the cloud and keep notes in a local notes app.

Ask the technician to manually copy photos and notes to a personal USB drive at the end of each week.
