As the network administrator of your company, you have received repeated complaints from a retail site manager located across town about power outages in their building. The branch manager is now requesting a compensating control to address the issue. What compensating control would you suggest?

A backup generator is an example of a compensating control that can be used as an alternative when the original control cannot function due to environmental constraints. Other examples of controls include firewalls, which are preventive controls, security guards, which are physical controls, and IDS (intrusion detection systems), which are detective controls.
