Part of Physical Penetration Testing
Associated with IA controls: PEPS-1, ECMT-2, ECMT-1
Failure to periodically test facility/building security where Information Systems (IS) connected to the DISN are present could lead to the unauthorized access of an individual into the facility with nefarious intentions to affect the Confidentiality, Integrity or Assurance of data or hardware on the IS.
Check to ensure that procedures for a facility penetration testing process are developed that includes periodic, unannounced attempts to penetrate key computing facilities. Results of these tests should be provided to the site or organization commander/director and if applicable, the supporting base physical security specialist. Any discrepancies should be addressed and corrective action taken (i.e. update procedures or provide additional training). If a test has not been completed within the last 12-months this should be a finding. Note: It is often a good idea for the site conducting physical penetration tests to coordinate support or this testing from supporting host installation security or an outside source. That enables the test to be conducted by someone that most site personnel might not be familiar with and will facilitate a good test using social engineering or other methodology to gain unauthorized access. TACTICAL ENVIRONMENT: The check is applicable for fixed (established) tactical processing environments. Not applicable to a field/mobile environment.
