Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A software development company in Singapore requires employees to change their passwords every 90 days and use a minimum of 12 characters including numbers and symbols. This is an example of:

  1. Physical security measures
  2. Biometric authentication
  3. Password policy enforcement
  4. Data encryption standards
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — Password policy enforcement
Award 1 mark for identifying that rules about password length, complexity and expiry constitute a password policy. A is incorrect — physical security relates to protecting hardware and premises. B is incorrect — biometrics use physical characteristics, not passwords. D is incorrect — encryption converts data into unreadable format, not password rules.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

A company stores customer payment details on its servers. Which security measure would be most effective in protecting this data if an attacker gains access to the database?

  1. Installing a firewall
  2. Using strong passwords
  3. Encrypting the stored data
  4. Training staff in data handling
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — Encrypting the stored data
Award 1 mark for identifying encryption as the measure that protects data even after unauthorized access. A is incorrect — a firewall prevents unauthorized access but does not protect data once access is gained. B is incorrect — strong passwords prevent access but do not protect data if bypassed. D is incorrect — staff training addresses human error but not technical data protection after a breach.

CIE IGCSE Information and Communication Technology: Safety and Security FAQ

How many CIE IGCSE Information and Communication Technology questions on Safety and Security are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Safety and Security for CIE IGCSE Information and Communication Technology, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CIE paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CIE IGCSE students preparing for Information and Communication Technology?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Safety and Security practice with other Information and Communication Technology topics or even switch to a totally different CIE subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Safety and Security questions aligned to the official CIE IGCSE Information and Communication Technology syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Information and Communication Technology specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CIE paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CIE.
How is Safety and Security typically tested on CIE IGCSE Information and Communication Technology papers?
Safety and Security appears across multiple question types on real CIE IGCSE Information and Communication Technology papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
