The control as we hold it
Equipment siting and protection. Equipment is to be positioned securely and protected. Purpose (stated in ISO/IEC 27002:2022): lessens exposure of equipment to physical and environmental hazards and to tampering or harm. 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 7.8.
