Australian Information Security Manual ISM-0306: Escorting uncleared technicians

If an appropriately cleared technician is not used to undertake maintenance or repairs of IT equipment, the technician is escorted by someone who: - is appropriately cleared and briefed - takes due care to ensure that data is not disclosed - takes all responsible measures to ensure the integrity of the IT equipment - has the authority to direct the technician - is sufficiently familiar with the IT equipment to understand the work being performed.
