ISO/IEC 27001 A.7.4Physical security monitoring

Physical security monitoring. Premises are to be watched continuously for unauthorized physical entry. Purpose (stated in ISO/IEC 27002:2022): detects and deters unauthorized physical access. 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 7.4.

What a reviewer asks to see: Statement of Applicability entry for control A.7.4, showing inclusion or justified exclusion, implementation status and the risks it treats; Coverage plans for CCTV and intruder detection over sensitive areas, external doors, accessible windows and unoccupied zones; Alarm and detector installation certificates to applicable standards and periodic test records, including battery-powered components; Monitoring logs or monitoring-provider reports showing alarms raised and responses; Access restrictions and hardening of CCTV and alarm systems, including protection of video feeds and remote management
Where camera lists usually fall short: CCTV records but nobody reviews footage or responds to alerts; Detectors are installed but never tested, with flat batteries unnoticed; Video systems are exposed on the network with default credentials; Video is retained longer than local law permits
