PS-05—Protection from fire and smoke
>Control Description
Premises and buildings related to the cloud service provided are protected from fire and smoke by structural, technical and organisational measures that meet the security requirements of the Cloud Service Provider (cf. PS-01 Security Concept) and include the following aspects:
a) Structural Measures:
Establishment of fire sections with a fire resistance duration of at least 90 minutes for all structural parts.
b) Technical Measures:
• Early fire detection with automatic voltage release. The monitored areas are sufficiently fragmented to ensure that the prevention of the spread of incipient fires is proportionate to the maintenance of the availability of the cloud service provided;
• Extinguishing system or oxygen reduction; and
• Fire alarm system with reporting to the local fire department.
c) Organisational Measures
• Regular fire protection inspections to check compliance with fire protection requirements; and
• Regular fire protection exercises.
Additional criteria: The environmental parameters are monitored. When the permitted control range is exceeded, alarm messages are generated and forwarded to the Cloud Service Provider’s subject matter experts
