Information Security (INFOSEC) - Secure Room Storage Standards - Perimeter Construction using Proper Permanent Construction Materials for True Ceiling, Walls and Floors.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Failure to meet standards for ensuring that there is structural integrity of the physical Perimeter surrounding a secure room (AKA: collateral classified open storage area) could result in a lack of structural integrity and the undetected loss or compromise of classified material. Permanent construction materials; while not impenetrable, provide physical evidence of an attempted or actual intrusion into a secure room space. Construction materials and application techniques that are not permanent in nature can potentially be removed to allow for access to secure room space and then replaced by an intruder upon egress from the area. This effectively negates the detection capability afforded by permanent construction techniques and materials. Examples of non-permanent material would be modular walls that can be removed and replaced with ease or plywood board (or other materials) applied with screws or nails that can be removed from outside the secure room space and then replaced using common tools.
