physical security
- physical access restricted to only those whose job responsibilities require that they maintain the equipment or infrastructure of the room.
- controlled by a strong authentication method, such as an electronic combination lock, a badge reader, a fingerprint reader, or other biometric scanning device. Lock combinations should be changed on a regular basis.
- Doors: fireproof and secured with deadbolt type locks that can’t be easily picked.
- Keys to server room doors - both electronic and traditional - should be numbered and the whereabouts of each copy logged.
- Traditional keys should be marked “Do not duplicate” and electronic keys should be copy protected.
- no windows through which a person could gain access. If there are windows, they should be bulletproof/shatterproof, and/or protected by metal grates to prevent access if broken.
- monitored by CCTV or IP cameras 24/7.
- redundant power sources, such as a generator, to power electronic locks and authentication systems in case of a power failure or outage.
- Server rooms and IT equipment rooms should not double as office space or storage space or any other shared purpose.
- complete inventory of server room and IT network room equipment, including brands, models, serial numbers, and physical descriptions, should be completed and kept up to date.
- system for securely disposing of unwanted discs, tapes, cards, hard drives, printed paper, and anything else that could contain confidential information should be implemented.
