Master Assessment Datasheet

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed will secure as appropriate (in safes or secure containers) items used for physical access control such as keys, combinations, portable locks, etc. Fixed access control devices such as card readers, installed locks, key pads, etc. should be protected from tampering.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment conducts physical inspections and interviews physical security/safety personnel to validate the organization has taken the proper precautions, and established the proper procedures to ensure it has adequately secured its keys, combinations, and other physical devices.

Compelling Evidence

1.) Local policy and procedures for securing physical access devices. 2.) Evidence of protection of key lock box
