-

Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
A. Configuring Google Workspace to deploy the CRM tool as a password-vaulted app is the primary consideration when implementing this interim solution. This approach allows users to access the app without manually entering their credentials, providing a seamless user experience while maintaining security by securely storing and autofilling passwords.
B. Setting up a weekly password change policy for the CRM tool may create unnecessary burden for users and increase the likelihood of password fatigue. It may also lead to weaker passwords being used if users struggle to remember and frequently change their passwords.
C. Using the same password for the CRM tool across all team members is not a recommended practice for security reasons. It increases the risk of unauthorized access if the password is compromised, and it does not provide individual accountability for actions taken within the CRM tool.
D. Asking users to save the CRM password in their browser's password manager may seem convenient, but it poses security risks. Browser password managers are not as secure as dedicated password vaults and may expose sensitive login information to potential security threats.
