2.2.1 Physical Access Control

Physical access to the Distribution Service Server should be controlled to prevent access by
unauthorized parties. Measures taken should be appropriate to the risks involved. There are multiple
available standards and guidelines available, including NIST recommendations, HIPAA
requirements, ISO/IEC 17799, and less formal collections of recommendations such as CISSP or
SANS guidelines. Even when a given regulatory frameworks is not applicable, it may still act as a
valuable resource and planning guide.
Likewise, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity mechanisms to protect the Distribution Server
should be put in place to protect the server if an organizational risk assessment identifies a need for
such steps. The mechanisms best used will depend on the specifics of the organization and its
desired risk profile, and cannot be described in advance. The same standards and guidelines sources
listed above can be helpful in this decision as well.
