Check Text ( C-40055r5_chk )
Check to ensure that primary monitoring of alarms for secure rooms or spaces containing SIPRNet equipment is located outside of the protected space. It is allowable to monitor alarms within the protected space if this is only used for supplemental/secondary monitoring. Ideally alarms will be monitored from the same location that police/guards or other response forces are contacted and dispatched, although this is not required if there are procedures and means for the monitoring station personnel to notify security response forces in a timely manner. TACTICAL ENVIRONMENT: This check is applicable where Vaults/Secure Rooms are used to protect classified materials or systems in a tactical environment. The only exception will be for urgent (short term) tactical operations or other contingency situations where fixed facilities and equipment are not yet present or incapable of being used.
