Has your organization implemented a process to ensure emergency access to critical safety systems for authorized personnel?

This question assesses whether your organization has established procedures for authorized personnel to access critical accounts during emergencies when normal access methods might be unavailable. For example, during a system outage, ransomware attack, or when primary administrators are unavailable, designated personnel should still be able to access systems necessary for safety operations. Evidence could include documented emergency access procedures, a list of personnel authorized for emergency access, logs of emergency access testing exercises, or break-glass account management policies that detail how emergency credentials are secured, accessed, and audited after use.
