This requirement exists to protect sensitive equipment and physical assets through inventory, physical controls, tamper protection, secure relocation, inspection, theft prevention, monitoring, review, and improvement, with specific focus on equipment inventory, so that physical security controls are proportionate to risk and remain effective.
Establish and document the process for equipment inventory. Define accountable owners, required inputs and outputs, authorization or validation criteria, review frequency, monitoring, reporting, exception handling, and evidence requirements. Apply controls according to facility, asset, media, personnel, and environmental risk, and integrate with asset management, incident response, business continuity, and facilities processes where applicable.
