The control as we hold it
Equipment siting and protection. Equipment is positioned and protected so that environmental threats, physical hazards and the risk of unauthorized access are reduced. As an Annex A reference control it is compared with the controls chosen in risk treatment (6.1.3 c) and recorded in the Statement of Applicability, included with a reason and an implementation status or excluded with a reason (6.1.3 d). Carried into ISO/IEC 27001:2022 as A.7.8.
