A key topic of ISO 27001 is the physical security of information\u2014in particular through effective access controls. These are designed to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to sensitive data or IT systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>ISO 27001 requirements for access controls<\/h2>\n
The relevant regulations can be found in Annex A.11.1 of ISO 27001<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Our visitor management software<\/a> VISIT supports companies in systematically implementing these requirements\u2014from issuing and approving<\/strong> visitor badges<\/a> to safety instructions for external companies to complete documentation<\/strong> of all accesses. This enables companies not only to meet ISO 27001 requirements, but also to precisely track who was in the building and when in the event of a security incident.<\/p>\n<\/div> Special attention must be paid to areas with increased security requirements, such as data centers<\/strong>, server rooms<\/strong>, or production areas<\/strong> with confidential data. Access controls must be even more precisely regulated in these areas. VISIT, as a yard management<\/a> system, makes it possible to set up individual security zones<\/strong> to which only specially authorized persons have access. External companies<\/strong> that are commissioned for maintenance or repair work, for example, can also be temporarily and controlled integrated \u2013 including documentation of all activities.<\/p>\n An essential component of modern access controls within the meaning of ISO 27001 is two-factor authentication (2FA)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In addition to the classic visitor badge or access code, a second, independent factor may be required\u2014for example, by scanning an ID card or passport<\/strong>. This biometrically verifiable identification provides an additional level of security and helps to effectively prevent identity fraud.<\/p>\n Two-factor authentication is becoming increasingly important, particularly in connection with the implementation of the NIS2 Directive<\/strong> and the requirements of the KRITIS umbrella law<\/a>. Both sets of regulations stipulate a higher level of protection for operators of critical infrastructures and digital services. VISIT supports companies in meeting these requirements in a practical and audit-proof manner.<\/p>\n<\/div> While ISO 27001<\/strong> as an international standard forms the basis for an information security management system, NIS2<\/strong> (EU Directive on Network and Information Security) and the KRITIS umbrella law<\/strong> go one step further. They require affected companies to implement specific technical and organizational measures<\/strong> to ensure cyber and physical security.<\/p>\n Certification according to ISO 27001<\/strong> is not mandatory, but it does make it much easier to meet the NIS2 requirements<\/strong>. This is because many measures \u2013 including access control \u2013 are identical in both sets of regulations. VISIT contributes to harmonization here: Companies that already operate in compliance with ISO 27001 can use VISIT to expand their processes in such a way that NIS2 and KRITIS<\/strong> requirements are also met.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> A well-designed access control system is a key component of any security strategy. With VISIT<\/strong> from ASTRUM IT<\/strong>, companies get a software solution that not only meets the requirements of ISO 27001<\/strong>, but also paves the way for NIS2 compliance<\/strong> and KRITIS conformity<\/strong> \u2013 from visitor registration and two-factor authentication to digital documentation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> ASTRUM IT is itself certified according to ISO 27001. You can find the current certificate here<\/a>. Of course, we also provide support in complying with other standards\u2014for example, with ISO 9001-compliant software development<\/a> or in setting up a security concept that complies with BSI basic protection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3051,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"mediathek-kategorie":[50],"class_list":["post-3100","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mediathek-kategorie-technology-insights-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/visit.astrum-it.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/3100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/visit.astrum-it.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/visit.astrum-it.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visit.astrum-it.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3051"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/visit.astrum-it.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"mediathek-kategorie","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visit.astrum-it.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mediathek-kategorie?post=3100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
