Security Requirements for 03.10.02 Monitoring Physical Access⚪

A facility can include one or more physical locations containing systems or system components that process, store, or transmit CUI. Physical access monitoring includes publicly accessible areas within organizational facilities. Examples of physical access monitoring include guards, video surveillance equipment (i.e., cameras), and sensor devices. Reviewing physical access logs can help to identify suspicious activities, anomalous events, or potential threats. The reviews can be supported by audit logging controls if the access logs are part of an automated system. Incident response capabilities include investigations of physical security incidents and responses to those incidents. Incidents include security violations or suspicious physical access activities, such as access outside of normal work hours, repeated access to areas not normally accessed, access for unusual lengths of time, and out-of-sequence access.
