Check Text ( C-49300r770352_chk )
1. Check to ensure there are written procedures for the control of sensitive items such as keys, locks, badges and smart cards (CAC, token, or other locally issued badge). 2. Check to verify the process is being followed and that it is effective. As a minimum, lock and key systems or automated entry control systems (AECS) using coded access swipe/proximity badges - require a key or credential inventory, issuance records, and procedures for returning the key or access control credential once the user no longer needs it. 3. Check to ensure a Key/Credential Control Officer and/or Key/Credential Custodians are appointed in writing to implement the system for controlling keys, locks and access control credentials. 4. Check to ensure the Key/Credential Control Officer conducts at least an annual inventory/reconciliation of all keys/credentials issued and on-hand. 5. Check to ensure that all keys/credentials are also inventoried upon change of Key/Credential Control Officer or Key/Credential Custodian. NOTE FOR REVIEWERS: If the Combatant Command, Service or Agency (CC/S/A) has issued guidelines for control of sensitive items the inspected organization may be considered compliant if following the issued guidelines. TACTICAL ENVIRONMENT: The check is applicable for fixed (established) tactical processing environments. Not applicable to a field/mobile environment.
