DCS-03: Secure Area Policy and Procedures
Secure Area Policy and Procedures
DCS-03: Are policies and procedures for maintaining a safe and secure working environment (in offices, rooms, and facilities) established, documented, approved, communicated, enforced, and maintained?
The CSP should identify the manageable parts of the data center and consider operational criteria, such as effectivity, efficiency, compliance, reliability, risk management, functionality, availability, integrity, and confidentiality. Then, the CSP should prepare and maintain policies and procedures for each part.
Policies and procedures should include provisions to restrict physical access to the facilities to prevent unauthorized entry.
Facility areas that house, store, and transact customer data should be configured to prevent confidential information or activities from being visible and audible from the outside.
Electromagnetic shielding should also be considered as appropriate (ISO standard; ISO_IEC_27002_2013 - 11.1.3 (c)).
In addition, the facility itself should be designed and positioned to reduce the risk of natural disasters. Systems and infrastructure should be deployed to enhance fire prevention—typically utilizing zoned dry-pipe sprinkler systems. These systems are intended to be deployed throughout the facility and not just within the computer room.
Control implemented
Not applicable - A “N/A” answer indicates that the portion of the control in question is out of scope of the assessment. The “SSRM control ownership” column is to be left blank (e.g., greyed out), and optionally the CSP may explain why it is the case (“CSP Implementation Description”).
No - A “No” answer indicates that the portion of the control in question is not implemented, while in scope of the assessment. The CSP has to assign the implementation responsibility of the control to the relevant party under column “SSRM control ownership”, and optionally elaborate on the “why” (has not been implemented), and “what” has to be done for its implementation by that party.
Yes - A “Yes” answer indicates that the portion of the control in question is implemented. The CSP indicates the responsible and accountable parties (SSRM control ownership), and optionally elaborates on the implementation “how-to” per relevant party CSP and/or CSC.
Control ownership
CSP-owned - The CSP is entirely responsible and accountable for the CCM control implementation.
CSC-owned - The Cloud Service Customer (CSC) is entirely responsible and accountable for the CCM control implementation.
Third-party - The third-party CSP in the supply chain (e.g., an IaaS provider) is responsible for CCM control implementation, while the CSP is fully accountable.
Shared CSP and CSC - Both the CSP and CSC share CCM control implementation responsibility and accountability.
Shared CSP and third party - Any CCM control implementation responsibility is shared between CSP and the third party, but the CSP remains fully accountable.
Description

Establish, document, approve, communicate, apply, evaluate and maintain policies and procedures for maintaining a safe and secure working environment in offices, rooms, and facilities. Review and update the policies and procedures at least annually.
