Capability Maturity Model

Level 0 — Not Performed

There is no evidence of a capability to facilitate the maintenance and review of visit or access records.

Level 1 — Performed Informally

C|P-CMM1 is N/A, since a structured process is required to facilitate the maintenance and review of visit or access records.

Level 2 — Planned & Tracked

C|P-CMM2 is N/A, since a well-defined process is required to facilitate the maintenance and review of visit or access records.

Level 3 — Well Defined

Physical & Environmental Security (PES) efforts are standardized across the organization and centrally managed, where technically feasible, to ensure consistency. CMM Level 3 control maturity would reasonably expect all, or at least most, the following criteria to exist: o Performs the centralized-management of physical security controls across the enterprise. o Maintains a current list of personnel with authorized access to organizational facilities and implements physical access management controls.

  • A physical security team, or similar function:
  • A facilities maintenance team, or similar function, manages the operation of environmental protection controls.
  • Administrative processes exist to authorize physical access to facilities based on the position or role of the individual.
  • Administrative processes and physical controls restrict unescorted access to facilities to personnel with required security clearances, formal access authorizations and validated the need for access.
Level 4 — Quantitatively Controlled

See C|P-CMM3. There are no defined C|P-CMM4 criteria, since it is reasonable to assume a quantitatively-controlled process is not necessary to facilitate the maintenance and review of visit or access records.

Level 5 — Continuously Improving

See C|P-CMM4. There are no defined C|P-CMM5 criteria, since it is reasonable to assume a continuously-improving process is not necessary to facilitate the maintenance and review of visit or access records.

Assessment Objectives

  1. PES-06.4_A01 automated mechanisms used to maintain visitor access records are defined.
  2. PES-06.4_A02 automated mechanisms used to review visitor access records are defined.
  3. PES-06.4_A03 visitor access records are maintained using automated mechanisms.
  4. PES-06.4_A04 visitor access records are reviewed using automated mechanisms.
