PES-17: Proximity Sensor
Automated mechanisms exist to monitor physical proximity to robotic or autonomous platforms to reduce applied force or stop the operation when sensors indicate a potentially dangerous scenario.
Control Question: Does the organization use automated mechanisms to monitor physical proximity to robotic or autonomous platforms to reduce applied force or stop the operation when sensors indicate a potentially dangerous scenario?
Capability Maturity Model
Level 0 — Not Performed
There is no evidence of a capability to monitor physical proximity to robotic or autonomous platforms to reduce applied force or stop the operation when sensors indicate a potentially dangerous scenario.
Level 1 — Performed Informally
C|P-CMM1 is N/A, since a structured process is required to monitor physical proximity to robotic or autonomous platforms to reduce applied force or stop the operation when sensors indicate a potentially dangerous scenario.
Level 2 — Planned & Tracked
C|P-CMM2 is N/A, since a well-defined process is required to monitor physical proximity to robotic or autonomous platforms to reduce applied force or stop the operation when sensors indicate a potentially dangerous scenario.
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.
- Physical proximity to robotic or autonomous platforms is continuously monitored to automatically change the operating state to reduce applied force or stop the operation when physical proximity sensors indicate a dangerous setting.
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 monitor physical proximity to robotic or autonomous platforms to reduce applied force or stop the operation when sensors indicate a potentially dangerous scenario.
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 monitor physical proximity to robotic or autonomous platforms to reduce applied force or stop the operation when sensors indicate a potentially dangerous scenario.
Assessment Objectives
- PES-17_A01 physical proximity to robotic or autonomous platforms is monitored to reduce applied force or stop the operation when sensors indicate a potentially dangerous scenario.
