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

Emergency access readiness is under review here, covering whether you have a process that lets authorized personnel reach critical safety systems when normal access methods fail. 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.
