SAS 70 Environmental Controls Security Examination Audit

The environment of the data center will come under scrutiny as well. Not only will the auditors examine the physical access controls to the data center but they will also examine the suitability of the data center to house sensitive information and systems. As such the following items are examined
- The structure of the walls, ceiling, and floor
- The security of the wiring
- Fire suppression
- Environmental controls
- Power

The auditors will look for ways of using the lack of controls to either access sensitive areas or information and the ability of the systems to continue to function during adverse conditions.
