What must one-person facilities do regarding current combinations?

• A. Provide the current combination to the Cognizant Security Agency field office, or home office for MFO
• B. Destroy the combination upon workforce changes
• C. Post the combination publicly in the facility
• D. Change the combination daily

Answer: (A)

In one-person facilities, official oversight of access control materials is essential. The current combination must be provided to the Cognizant Security Agency field office, or to the home office for MFO. This keeps a formal, up-to-date record of who has access and allows the safeguarding authority to manage security, coordinate access during personnel changes, and conduct audits or reviews as needed. It prevents reliance on a single individual to maintain control without accountability and ensures continuity if that person is unavailable or leaves.

Destroying the combination when workforce changes occur would remove that official record and jeopardize oversight. Posting the combination publicly would defeat the purpose of keeping it secure. Changing it daily would create unnecessary confusion and operational burden without added security benefit.
