DCS-12: Are processes, procedures, and technical measures defined, implemented, and
evaluated to ensure risk-based protection of power and telecommunication cables
from interception, interference, or damage threats at all facilities, offices,
and rooms?
All cabling should be shielded (when possible) to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Additionally, hide cabling (i.e., under the floor, above cabinets in caged, cable-management systems, etc.) or—at a minimum—protect with (PVC) tubing (or something similar) when possible to protect against unauthorized physical access.
