Using swipe cards to limit employee access to restricted areas requires implementing periodic review of access profiles by management. This ensures that only authorized individuals have access to restricted areas and that any changes in employees' roles or responsibilities are reflected in their access permissions.

Selected Answer: C

This is because swipe cards can be lost, stolen, or misused by unauthorized persons, so management needs to review the access profiles periodically to ensure that only authorized persons have access to restricted areas. This is also a good practice for security and compliance reasons.
