Are you required to report suspicious co-worker activities?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only to your supervisor
• D. Only if the incident is serious

Answer: (A)

In SCI security practices, reporting suspicious coworker activities is mandatory to protect sensitive information and people. If something about a colleague's behavior seems off—such as attempts to access restricted areas, unusual requests for access, or hints of bypassing security controls—you should escalate the concern through the proper channels as soon as you notice it. Use the established reporting path: tell your supervisor or the security office, or use the official incident reporting process. Do not rely on your own judgement to decide whether it’s serious; reporting early lets security professionals assess risk and respond appropriately. Delaying reporting can allow a potential threat to grow and may violate policy. Therefore, you are required to report suspicious coworker activities.
