PR.AC-2: Physical access to assets is managed and protected.

Oh no! No description found. But not to worry. Read from Tasks below how to advance this topic.

Physical access to the facility, servers and network components shall be managed.
Guidance
- Consider to strictly manage keys to access the premises and alarm codes. The following rules should be considered:
- Always retrieve an employee's keys or badges when they leave the company permanently.
- Change company alarm codes frequently.
- Never give keys or alarm codes to external service providers (cleaning agents, etc.), unless it is possible to trace these accesses and restrict them technically to given time slots.
- Consider to not leaving internal network access outlets accessible in public areas. These public places can be waiting rooms, corridors...

Physical access shall be managed, including measures related to access in emergency situations.
Guidance
- Physical access controls may include, for example lists of authorized individuals, identity credentials, escort requirements, guards, fences, turnstiles, locks, monitoring of facility access, camera surveillance.
- The following measures should be considered:
- Implement a badge system and create different security zones.
- Limit physical access to servers and network components to authorized personnel.
- Log all access to servers and network components.
- Visitor access records should be maintained, reviewed and acted upon as required.

Physical access to critical zones shall be controlled in addition to the physical access to the facility.
Guidance
E.g. production, R&D, organization’s critical systems equipment (server rooms…)

Assets related to critical zones shall be physically protected.
Guidance
- Consider protecting power equipment, power cabling, network cabling, and network access interfaces from accidental damage, disruption, and physical tampering.
- Consider implementing redundant and physically separated power systems for organization’s critical operations.

The ISMS component hierachy

When building an ISMS, it's important to understand the different levels of information hierarchy. Here's how Cyberday is structured.

Framework

Sets the overall compliance standard or regulation your organization needs to follow.

Requirements

Break down the framework into specific obligations that must be met.

Tasks

Concrete actions and activities your team carries out to satisfy each requirement.

Policies

Documented rules and practices that are created and maintained as a result of completing tasks.

Never duplicate effort. Do it once - improve compliance across frameworks.

Reach multi-framework compliance in the simplest possible way
Security frameworks tend to share the same core requirements - like risk management, backup, malware, personnel awareness or access management.
Cyberday maps all frameworks’ requirements into shared tasks - one single plan that improves all frameworks’ compliance.
Do it once - we automatically apply it to all current and future frameworks.
