Physical Security also was included in Task 1, as follows:
• Survey the security of the computer room at various times and days of the week, and attempt to enter the computer room security perimeter.
• Assure that each entrance is equipped with a suitable security device.
• Determine whether all access doors have internal hinges and electromagnetic locks equipped with a battery backup system.
• Test biometric security devices, if any.
• Test video cameras and motion sensors, if any.
• Check each server and desktop computer case to determine whether it has a locking device.
• Try to identify any server or computer case that would permit the installation of a keystroke logging device.
• Determine whether tamper-evident cases are, or could be, used.
• Find out whether monitor screensavers are being used on any server or workstation that is left unattended. See if BIOS-level passwords, boot-level passwords, or power-on passwords are in use.
• Examine notebook computers to assure that each has been marked or engraved with the company name and address, or a tamper-proof asset ID tag.
• Determine whether notebook computers have a Universal Security Slot (USS) that can be fastened to a cable lock or laptop alarm.
