Statement

WTAMU monitors physical access to facilities where information systems reside to detect and respond to physical security incidents, based on risk management decisions.

Applicability

This Control applies to all West Texas A&M locations that house information systems (e.g., data centers, server rooms, networking/telecom closets) considered mission critical or require a higher level of security due to the nature of equipment or data the equipment stores. 

Implementation

The designated individual responsible for securing physical access to information resource facilities shall monitor physical access to respond to physical security incidents by:

• Review of logs and alerts from physical security systems and video surveillance cameras, when warranted.
• Coordinates reviews and investigations with the information security office for incident response capabilities.
