ANSI/ASIS PAP.1-2012 Physical Asset Protection for Auditors
What does ANSI/ASIS PAP.1-2012 Physical Asset Protection require of a Auditor?
ANSI/ASIS PAP.1-2012 Physical Asset Protection sets out how to run physical security as a management system: a top-management policy and accountable owner, documented context and scope, a security survey and risk assessment that drive countermeasure choice, layered protection in depth, designed and commissioned physical protection systems with a maintenance and replacement life cycle, emergency command and control, exercises, audit and review, and element guidance on CPTED, site hardening, lighting, barriers, intrusion detection, access control, video surveillance, alarm monitoring and security staffing. 74 leaves read against the complete standard. Under ANSI/ASIS PAP.1-2012 Physical Asset Protection, which defines 74 controls, a Auditor's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
