Has your organization implemented physical safeguards to protect equipment from environmental threats such as flooding, fire, wind, excessive heat, and humidity?

Environmental threats can cause significant damage to critical IT infrastructure, potentially leading to data loss, service disruptions, and security breaches. Proper physical safeguards such as raised floors in server rooms, fire suppression systems, climate control, and appropriate building construction help mitigate these risks and ensure business continuity during environmental incidents. Evidence of compliance could include documentation of physical security measures such as floor plans showing raised server rooms, specifications of fire suppression systems, HVAC maintenance records, photos of protective measures, or environmental monitoring system reports that demonstrate how equipment is protected from various environmental threats.
