An IT support technician is conducting an on-site troubleshooting session at a department manager's desk to resolve a recurring application error. While the technician is diagnosing the issue, the manager receives an urgent phone call and steps away from the desk without locking the workstation, leaving confidential employee performance evaluation documents open on the screen. The technician determines that resolving the software issue requires an immediate operating system reboot. Which of the following actions should the technician take next?
- Wait for the manager to return to the desk, explain the requirement for a system reboot, and allow the manager to save and close all sensitive files before proceeding.Cevap
- BSave and close the open confidential documents on behalf of the manager, then immediately restart the computer to keep the service window on schedule.
- CMinimize the sensitive files, press Win+L to lock the workstation, and execute a remote shutdown command from a local terminal to complete the reboot.
- DImmediately submit an incident report to the Information Security department regarding an unattended unlocked workstation before performing any further service.
Cevap
The technician should wait for the manager to return, clearly communicate the necessity of a system reboot, and permit the manager to save and close confidential files prior to restarting.
CompTIA professional interaction guidelines specify that technicians must respect customer privacy and property at all times. When a system restart or disruptive action is required, the technician must communicate the necessity clearly to the user and allow the user to save and close any open or sensitive files themselves. Taking unilateral action on user files or initiating reboots while the user is away violates confidentiality, risks data loss, and compromises professional rapport.
