C. To enforce local and federal laws within the corporate environment.
D. To deploy the most advanced security technology available.
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B. To support the organization's mission by protecting its assets.
A security program's fundamental purpose is to enable the business to achieve its objectives by protecting assets, not to exist for its own sake or to eliminate all risk, which is impossible.

C. Offer the position to an internal candidate before advertising externally.
D. Promote the new employee within the first year of employment.
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B. Conduct a reasonable and appropriate background investigation for the position.
Negligent hiring liability arises when an employer knew or should have known about an employee's unsuitability for a role, which a proper background check, appropriate for the role, could have revealed.

C. The duration of the surveillance operation.
