  • ICS Control Baselines:
  • Low
  • Moderate
  • High

The organization:

    • a. Develops, documents, and disseminates to [Assignment: organization-defined personnel or roles]:
      1. A physical and environmental protection policy that addresses purpose, scope, roles, responsibilities, management commitment, coordination among organizational entities, and compliance; and
      2. Procedures to facilitate the implementation of the physical and environmental protection policy and associated physical and environmental protection controls; and

      2. Physical and environmental protection procedures [Assignment: organization-defined frequency].

SUPPLEMENTAL GUIDANCE

This control addresses the establishment of policy and procedures for the effective implementation of selected security controls and control enhancements in the PE family. Policy and procedures reflect applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, regulations, policies, standards, and guidance. Security program policies and procedures at the organization level may make the need for system-specific policies and procedures unnecessary. The policy can be included as part of the general information security policy for organizations or conversely, can be represented by multiple policies reflecting the complex nature of certain organizations. The procedures can be established for the security program in general and for particular information systems, if needed. The organizational risk management strategy is a key factor in establishing policy and procedures.

ICS SUPPLEMENTAL GUIDANCE

The policy specifically addresses the unique properties and requirements of ICS and the relationship to non-ICS systems. The ICS components can be distributed over a large facility footprint or geographic area and can be an entry point into the entire organizational network ICS. Regulatory controls may also apply.
