PE-6(4) Monitoring Physical Access to Systems
Control enhancement of PE-6 Monitoring Physical Access
Control
Monitor physical access to the system in addition to the physical access monitoring of the facility at [Assignment: physical spaces].
Discussion
Monitoring physical access to systems provides additional monitoring for those areas within facilities where there is a concentration of system components, including server rooms, media storage areas, and communications centers. Physical access monitoring can be coordinated with intrusion detection systems and system monitoring capabilities to provide comprehensive and integrated threat coverage for the organization.
