This requirement exists to classify, store, transport, reuse, destroy, authorize, verify, document, review, and improve the handling and disposal of physical media, with specific focus on continuous improvement, so that physical security controls are proportionate to risk and remain effective.
Establish and document the process for continuous improvement. Define accountable owners, required inputs and outputs, authorization or validation criteria, review frequency, monitoring, reporting, exception handling, and evidence requirements. Apply controls according to facility, asset, media, personnel, and environmental risk, and integrate with asset management, incident response, business continuity, and facilities processes where applicable.
