- ISO 27001 Stage 2 Annex A Controls Audit tests UC-PHYS-06 — Protect power and communications cabling from damage and taps
- UC-PHYS-06 — Protect power and communications cabling from damage and taps mitigates Inadequate protection against fire, flood and physical hazards
- strength
- related
- rationale
- Protected conduits, line separation, and tamper inspection address the cabling-damage clause, but the operative defense against this risk's fire/flood core is suppression and drainage (UC-PHYS-03).

- UC-PHYS-06 — Protect power and communications cabling from damage and taps mitigates Loss of essential services (power, HVAC, telecoms)
- strength
- related
- rationale
- Protecting power/telecom cabling from damage and disconnection prevents cable-cut power and carrier outages.
