Which of the following is NOT one of the three measures all Physical Protection Systems (PPS) operate under?

Preventative Measures
Detective Measures
Restorative Measures
Corrective Measures

The correct answer is: Restorative Measures

Physical Protection Systems (PPS) are designed to safeguard assets through various measures. The three primary types of measures they operate under are preventative, detective, and corrective measures. Preventative measures are designed to deter incidents before they occur, such as security personnel, access control, and locks. Detective measures are implemented to identify and respond to security breaches or incidents promptly, such as alarm systems and surveillance cameras. Corrective measures focus on actions taken after an incident has occurred to restore security and mitigate damage, including repairing compromised systems and investigating incidents. In contrast, restorative measures are not recognized as one of the core categories within the framework of PPS. While restoration may happen as part of a response, it is not classified alongside the other three primary measures. This distinction helps clarify the framework of physical security and the specific roles each type of measure plays in protecting assets.
