Monitor Facility

Protect and monitor the physical facility and support infrastructure for organizational systems.

The infrastructure inside of a facility, such as power and network cables, is protected so that visitors and unauthorized employees cannot access it. The protection is also monitored by security guards, video cameras, sensors, or alarms. Example You are responsible for protecting your IT facilities. You install video cameras at each entrance and exit, connect them to a video recorder, and show the camera feeds on a display at the reception desk [c,d]. You also make sure there are secure locks on all entrances, exits, and windows to the facilities [a,b]. Potential Assessment Considerations • Is physical access monitored to detect and respond to physical security incidents [c, d]?
