The control as we hold it
Cabling security. Cables that carry power, data or supporting information services are to be protected from interception, interference and damage. Purpose (stated in ISO/IEC 27002:2022): prevents loss, compromise or interruption of operations arising from power and communications cabling. As an Annex A reference control, it is compared with the controls determined in risk treatment (6.1.3 c) and recorded in the Statement of Applicability as included or excluded, with the justification and implementation status (6.1.3 d); implementation guidance is ISO/IEC 27002:2022 7.12.
