All physical access assets (e.g., locks, badges, key cards) must be managed and controlled with logs of who has requested the access device, authorization for that request, and records of when it was accessed, removed and returned.

Identifying and controlling physical access devices is just as important as monitoring and limiting who is able to physically access certain equipment. Physical access devices are only strong protection if you know who has them and what access they allow. Physical access devices can be managed using manual or automatic processes such a list of who is assigned what key, or updating the badge access system as personnel change roles.

Physical access devices will be managed using the asset management database within this system. Identify the access asset on the Assets tab, and use the Check Out button to check out the device.
