CCI-000973

The organization monitors temperature and humidity levels in accordance with organization-defined frequency.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed will maintain an independent monitor device for temperature and humidity levels not located in the immediate vicinity of the controller continuously unless manufacturer specifications allow for a wide enough tolerance that control is not required. Records of monitoring must be maintained as an audit trail within the authorization lifecycle. DoD has defined the frequency as continuously unless manufacturer specifications allow for a wide enough tolerance that control is not required.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment will visually observe the inspected organization's independent monitoring device, obtain and examine audit logs, and interview physical security/safety personnel to validate the inspected organization monitors temperature and humidity levels continuously unless manufacturer specifications allow for a wide enough tolerance that control is not required. DoD has defined the frequency as continuously unless manufacturer specifications allow for a wide enough tolerance that control is not required.
