ISO 27001 – Physical Security Controls

In this episode of InfoSec Insider, Wayne Armstrong, Senior Consultant at URM, breaks down the ‘Physical’ control theme from Annex A of ISO 27001, which are a set of security measures aimed at protecting an organisation’s physical assets and environment, such as their buildings, equipment, and paper copies of documents.  Wayne leverages his 30+ of experience with information security to discuss:

• Why the physical security controls are important and what physical controls are recommended by ISO 27001
• Whether you still need to consider physical security when all your data is stored in and accessible from the cloud
• The benefits of controls such as access cards and visible IDs for staff accessing business premises
• The relevance of physical controls for remote workers
• How to overcome the common pitfalls associated with operating and managing physical security controls.
