Safe placement of equipment

Critical
High

Strong authentication for processing or storage areas of highly confidential information

Critical
High
Normal
Low

Access to areas where confidential information is handled or stored should be restricted to authorized individuals through appropriate access control, e.g. using a two-step authentication mechanism such as an access card and a passcode.

Electromagnetic data breach management

Critical
High
Normal
Low

Electronic devices such as cables, monitors, copiers, tablets and smartphones leak electromagnetic radiation, from which it is possible to find out the original transmitted data with the right hardware and, for example, steal the entered username and password.

Openings in the premises' structures (windows, doors, air conditioning) are protected to prevent radiation from escaping. In addition, equipment handling confidential data is located so as to minimize the risk of leakage due to electromagnetic leakage.
