Assessment Objective

Determine if:

• PE-03a.
  • PE-03a.01 physical access authorizations are enforced at [Assignment: entry and exit points] by verifying individual access authorizations before granting access to the facility;
  • PE-03a.02 physical access authorizations are enforced at [Assignment: entry and exit points] by controlling ingress and egress to the facility using [Selection (one or more): [Assignment: systems or devices] ; guards];
• PE-03b. physical access audit logs are maintained for [Assignment: entry or exit points];
• PE-03c. access to areas within the facility designated as publicly accessible are maintained by implementing [Assignment: physical access controls];
• PE-03d.
  • PE-03d.[01] visitors are escorted;
  • PE-03d.[02] visitor activity is controlled [Assignment: circumstances];
• PE-03e.
  • PE-03e.[01] keys are secured;
  • PE-03e.[02] combinations are secured;
  • PE-03e.[03] other physical access devices are secured;
• PE-03f. [Assignment: physical access devices] are inventoried [Assignment: frequency];
• PE-03g.
  • PE-03g.[01] combinations are changed [Assignment: frequency] , when combinations are compromised, or when individuals possessing the combinations are transferred or terminated;
  • PE-03g.[02] keys are changed [Assignment: frequency] , when keys are lost, or when individuals possessing the keys are transferred or terminated.

Assessment Methods

Examine

• Physical and environmental protection policy
• procedures addressing physical access control
• physical access control logs or records
• inventory records of physical access control devices
• system entry and exit points
• records of key and lock combination changes
• storage locations for physical access control devices
• physical access control devices
• list of security safeguards controlling access to designated publicly accessible areas within facility
• system security plan
• other relevant documents or records

Interview

• Organizational personnel with physical access control responsibilities
• organizational personnel with information security responsibilities

Test

• Organizational processes for physical access control
• mechanisms supporting and/or implementing physical access control
• physical access control devices
