What defines a secure location of a terminal?

A secure location for a terminal is defined by its protection against unauthorized access and visibility. Being secure from public access and from the view of the screen and/or printed data ensures that sensitive information is not exposed to individuals who should not have access to it. This is crucial in environments where data privacy and confidentiality are paramount, particularly in law enforcement and criminal justice sectors.

While being accessible only to law enforcement officers, located in a locked facility, or having restricted access are also important aspects of security, they do not directly address the specific vulnerabilities related to visibility and access to data being processed or displayed. The key element for a terminal's secure location is ensuring that unauthorized persons cannot view or access the information it handles, which is precisely captured by the correct response.
