1. Ensure fire detection systems are in place and emergency responders are contacted, if required. 2. Ensure detection and suppression systems are tested at regular intervals.

>Testing Procedure

1. Inspect Organization's Physical Security Policy, Alarm Management and System Maintenance Standard to determine whether requirements for fire detection/suppression systems are defined. 2. Observe the fire detection/suppression systems in use at the Organization-owned data center to determine whether they are in place. 3. Inspect the fire detection system monitoring contract in place to determine whether Organization has contracted with a third party to monitor fire detection systems for the Organization-owned data center. 4. Inspect fire suppression/detection certifications at the Organization owned data center to determine whether the design and function of these systems are tested at appropriate intervals.
