Exam ISO-IEC-27002-Foundation Topic 2 Question 4 Discussion

Control 7.2, Physical entry, is the correct control because the problem is unauthorized physical access to a server room. ISO/IEC 27002 expects secure areas to be protected by appropriate entry controls so that only authorized persons can enter. Authentication of identity at entry points may include badges, access cards, biometric verification, PINs, visitor registration, security guards, turnstiles, logs, escorts, or electronic access systems. The server room contains information processing facilities, and unauthorized physical access could lead to theft, tampering, cable disconnection, hardware compromise, installation of rogue devices, or direct access to consoles and storage media. Control 8.6, Capacity management, concerns resource capacity for information processing facilities, not physical access. Control 8.4, Access to source code, concerns protecting program source code from unauthorized access, not entry into a secure physical room. Because the scenario specifically says people can enter the server room without identity authentication, the matching ISO/IEC
27002 physical control is Control 7.2. References/Chapters: ISO/IEC 27002:2022, Control 7.2 Physical entry; Control 7.1 Physical security perimeter; Control 7.4 Physical security monitoring.
