Vault/Secure Room Storage Standards - Intrusion Detection System (IDS) / Automated Entry Control System (AECS) Primary and Emergency Power Supply

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Failure to meet standards for ensuring that there is an adequate commercial and back-up power sources for IDS/AECS with uninterrupted failover to emergency power could result in a malfunction of the physical alarm and access control system. This could result in the undetected breach of classified open storage / secure rooms or vaults containing SIPRNet assets and undetected loss or compromise of classified material.

Remediation - Manual Procedure

Fixes - Primary Power:

Fix #1. Ensure primary power for all Intrusion Detection System (IDS) equipment and Automated Entry Control system (AECS) equipment is either commercial AC or DC power. 

Fix #2. Ensure that in the event of commercial power failure at either the secure room/area or monitor station, the equipment changes power sources without causing an intrusion alarm indication. An Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) will be required for this to occur.
