🔑 Key Takeaway: Facility and perimeter security protects the locations where keys, backups, and signing devices live through layered access control, surveillance, environmental hardening, and secure room design.
This sub-section of the Physical Security framework will cover the controls that protect physical locations used for key storage and signing operations.
Planned topics include:
- Layered access control (mechanical and electronic) for homes, offices, and data rooms
- Surveillance and intrusion detection
- Environmental controls (fire, flood, power, and climate) for backup and device storage
- Secure room and safe design for high-value key material
Contributions are welcome. See the contributing guide to help expand this section.
