If after theft occurs there are camera installed, what type of security planning is that?

• A. Reactive
• B. Proactive
• C. Preventive
• D. Detective

Answer: (A)

This is about when security measures are planned and put in place. Installing cameras after a theft has already occurred shows reactive planning: you respond to what happened and add controls in response to the incident. It’s not proactive or preventive, which would mean putting measures in place before any threat to reduce or stop it, and it’s not solely about detection in the sense of planning to detect something before it happens—though the cameras can later serve to detect and provide evidence for future incidents. The key idea is timing: actions taken after the event are reactive.
