“The environment that must be protected through physical security controls includes all personnel,
equipment, data, communication devices, power supplies, and wiring. The necessary level of
protection depends on the value of the data, the computer systems, and the company assets within
the facility. The value of these items can be determined by a critical-path analysis, which lists each
piece of the infrastructure and what is necessary to keep those pieces healthy and operational.” Pg
