Oregon DPSST Security Professional Practice Test

What is the three things that a security guard protects?

1. People, property, money

2. People, information, items,

3. Property, information, money

4. People, property, information

The correct answer is: People, property, information

The primary duties of a security guard traditionally revolve around the protection of three key components: 1. People: This involves securing individuals from harm. Whether it's clients, employees, visitors, or the general public, a security guard's role is to ensure everyone's safety. 2. Property: Security guards are tasked with protecting the physical premises—this includes the buildings, grounds, equipment, and assets within the property. 3. Information: In today's digital age, information has become a valuable asset. Guards may also be responsible for ensuring data is not stolen, tampered with, or breached. Therefore, we can say that a security guard protects people, property, and information, which aligns with choice D. Other options are incorrect as they do not completely cover the full range of responsibilities that a security guard has. For example, while money and specific items could be included under "property," they alone do not encompass all that a guard is responsible for securing.
