What determines the levels of security dedicated to resources based on program manpower?

• A. Program Logistics Resources
• B. Manpower Based Resources
• C. PL Resources
• D. Protection Level Staffing

Answer: (C)

Protection Level Resources is the framework that sets how much security a resource must have. The idea is that each resource is assigned a protection level based on how critical it is to the program and the potential impact if it were compromised or lost. That protection level then drives the security measures you put in place—physical safeguards, access control, monitoring, and, importantly, the amount of manpower allocated to protect it. In short, the level of security hinges on the Protection Level designation of the resource, with higher levels requiring more protective effort and staffing. The other phrases don’t reflect the standard designation used to determine security requirements for resources.
