Remember when we said „Information Security is not just an IT Problem“?
TISAX® as the key Information Security standard for the automotive industry defines physical security as an essential element to harden an organization’s protective measures.
Control 6.4.1 – „Physical Access Control“ is all about keeping physical access to secure areas limited to only authorized people. It’s a crucial step in safeguarding sensitive information and prototypes, and protecting company assets from unauthorized access.
Well managed physical access controls are key to avoiding information security incidents and staying compliant with OEM Information Security requirements.
When was the last time your facilities management checked who‘s got key cards to your office? Server room? Prototype shop?
