Hong Kong Government Practice Guide for Cloud Computing Security (ISPG-SM04 v2.1) 5.7.1: Analyse risks of the site location and validate facility controls

What does 5.7.1 require?

Because an off-premises data centre may put cost ahead of security, a B/D validates the operating effectiveness of facilities such as uninterruptible power, air conditioning and ventilation, fire suppression and water and flood control against recognised standards (the ISO information security and energy-utility standards, the Mainland GB/T 22239 baseline, the multi-level protection scheme and the like), assesses the location of data centres and disaster recovery centres for natural hazards, local jurisdiction and network dependency, and, where on-site inspection is not feasible, reviews independent third-party annual audit reports to confirm the physical controls meet certification requirements such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2 Type 2.
