As an information system auditor what are the environment controls that need to be checked and commented by you? Write any eight.

The following environmental factors need to be checked and commented upon by the auditor: Online UPS not used; either line-interactive UPS or Offline UPS used, or CVT used. Electrical cabling loose / points having loose contact. No separate earth pit for the Computing equipment. Switches/Hubs/Routers not fed UPS power. Server room door kept open. AC not functioning properly, especially in summer. In winter AC set at 29 Deg C instead of 22 Deg C. No pest control measures taken. Eatables taken into server room/ Smoking in the server room. Heavy duty printer kept inside server room; scope for dust. UPS, AC, other electrical items not under regular AMC. No Genset backup in case City power supply fails for long hours. No smoke detectors/fire alarms in server room area. Fire extinguishers not kept filled and ready. No fire drill carried out to make people aware of dos and don'ts. The above are serious lapses that can seriously affect the functioning of the IT Setup and cause work stoppages.
