Coding standards are enforced because a specific order to statements are required
and there is required syntax that also must be used. High-Level languages are easier to read
because of the english like statements.
See extract below from the Official ISC2 Guide (OIG) to the CISSP CBK :
In the development phase, programmers have the option of writing code in several different
programming languages. A programming language is a set of rules telling the computer what
operations to perform.
Programming languages have evolved in generations, and each language is characterized into
one of the generations. Those in the lower level are closer in form to the binary language of the
computer. Both machine and assembly languages are considered low-level languages.
As the languages become easier and more similar to the language people use to communicate,
they become higher level. High-level languages are easier to use than low-level languages and
can be used to produce programs more quickly.
In addition, high-level languages may be said to be beneficial because they enforce coding
standards and can provide more security. On the other hand, higher level languages automate
certain functions, and provide complicated operations for the program, implemented by the
programming environment or tool, the internal details of which may be poorly understood by the
programmer. Therefore, it is possible that high-level languages may introduce security
vulnerabilities in ways that are not apparent to the developer.
Programming languages are frequently referred to by generations.
The first generation is generally held to be the machine language, opcodes (operating codes), and
object code used by the computer itself. These are very simple instructions that can be executed
directly by the CPU of a computer. Each type of computer has its own machine language.
However, the blizzard of hexadecimal or binary code is difficult for people to understand.
A second generation of assembly language was created, which uses symbols as abbreviations for
major instructions.
The third generation, usually known as high-level language, uses meaningful words (generally
English) as the commands. COBOL, FORTRAN, BASIC, and C are examples of this type.
Above this point there may be disagreement on definitions. Fourth-generation languages,
sometimes known as very high-level languages, are represented by query languages, report
generators, and application generators.
Fifth-generation languages, or natural language interfaces, require expert systems and artificial
intelligence. The intent is to eliminate the need for programmers to learn a specific vocabulary,
grammar, or syntax. The text of a natural language statement very closely resembles human
speech.
NOTE FROM CLEMENT:
The use of the word Standard above is synonymous with Conventions
Code conventions are important to programmers for a number of reasons:
80% of the lifetime cost of a piece of software goes to maintenance.
Hardly any software is maintained for its whole life by the original author.
Code conventions improve the readability of the software, allowing engineers to understand new
code more quickly and thoroughly.
If you ship your source code as a product, you need to make sure it is as well packaged and clean
as any other product you create.
The following statements are incorrect:
It decreases execution times for programs. This is incorrect because high-level languages need to
be converted into code that the computer understands. The programs are either compiled or run
through an interpreter and converted into machine language.
It allows programmers to define syntax. Is incorrect because there is a required syntax for high-
level languages.
It requires programmer-controlled storage management. Is incorrect because whether it is a high-
level language or not this would not be an advantage.

You data center should be located in the middle of the facility or the core of a building to provide protection from natural disasters or bombs and provide easier access to emergency crewmembers if necessary. By being at the core of the facility the external wall would act as a secondary layer of protection as well.
Information processing facilities should not be located on the top floors of buildings in case of a fire or flooding coming from the roof. Many crimes and theft have also been conducted by simply cutting a large hole on the roof.
They should not be in the basement because of flooding where water has a natural tendancy to flow down :-) Even a little amount of water would affect your operation considering the quantity of electrical cabling sitting directly on the cement floor under under your raise floor.
The data center should not be located on the first floor due to the presence of the main entrance where people are coming in and out. You have a lot of high traffic areas such as the elevators, the loading docks, cafeteria, coffee shopt, etc.. Really a bad location for a data center.
So it was easy to come up with the answer by using the process of elimination where the top, the bottom, and the basement are all bad choices. That left you with only one possible answer which is the third floor.

The NCSC promotes information systems security awareness and
technology transfer through many channels, including the annual
National Information Systems Security Conference. It was founded
in 1981 as the Department of Defense Computer Security Center , and
its name was change in 1985 to NCSc. It developed the Trusted Computer
Evaluation Program Rainbow series for evaluating commercial
products against information system security criteria. All the other
answers are, therefore incorrect since they refer to NIST, which is
under the US Department of Commerce.

Answer A, B and C can be used to uniquely identify a person, but in the case of the Skin, there are no unique characteristics that can differentiate two distinct individuals in an acceptable accurate way. In the case of the IRIS and the
Retina, there are not two of them equal. In the case of the palm, every person has different marks on it. The skin is common to all and does not have specific textures or marks to make it unique in comparison to another individual.
