Control Statement
Keep business-critical equipment away from locations subject to high probability for environmental risk events.
Implementation Guidance
Keep business-critical equipment away from locations subject to a high probability of environmental risks, such as switchyards and chemical facilities. Hazards include fires, flooding (e.g., waterlogging, water pipe exposure), dust, wind (i.e., exposure to open doors/windows), and natural disasters (earthquakes and hurricanes).
Auditing Guidance
- Examine the policy relating to environmental risk.
- Determine if locations are assessed and classified for probability of environmental risk.
- Determine if business-critical equipment is identified.
