PR.AA-06.211

Does your organization implement physical security controls to monitor facilities and restrict unauthorized access?

Explanation

Physical security controls are essential for protecting sensitive assets, data, and personnel from unauthorized physical access. These controls typically include security guards, surveillance cameras, access control systems (key cards, biometric scanners), alarm systems, and locked entrances/exits to create layers of protection around your facilities. Evidence of compliance could include a physical security policy document, photographs of implemented controls (without revealing security vulnerabilities), access control logs, security guard schedules, maintenance records for physical security systems, or a floor plan showing the placement of security cameras and other physical controls.

Implementation Example

Use security guards, security cameras, locked entrances, alarm systems, and other physical controls to monitor facilities and restrict access

ResponseHub is the product I wish I had when I was a CTO

Previously I was co-founder and CTO of Progression, a VC backed HR-tech startup used by some of the biggest names in tech.

As our sales grew, security questionnaires quickly became one of my biggest pain-points. They were confusing, hard to delegate and arrived like London busses - 3 at a time!

I'm building ResponseHub so that other teams don't have to go through this. Leave the security questionnaires to us so you can get back to closing deals, shipping product and building your team.
