ISO 27001:2022 7.6: Working in secure areas

Security measures for working inside secure areas are to be designed and put in place. Purpose (stated in ISO/IEC 27002:2022): stops people working in secure areas from damaging or tampering with what is kept there. As an Annex A reference control, it is compared with the controls determined in risk treatment (6.1.3 c) and recorded in the Statement of Applicability as included or excluded, with the justification and implementation status (6.1.3 d); implementation guidance is ISO/IEC 27002:2022 7.6.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 40 controls across 15 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

Other controls in Physical controls – ISO 27001:2022

You are reading one control. How much of ISO 27001:2022 have you already done?

ISO 27001:2022 7.6 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of ISO 27001:2022 your existing evidence covers. Hold NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and 79 of 93 ISO 27001:2022 controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 170 were rejected on the NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 pair alone.
