Equipment Control Matrix (E
19、CM)5.1 Equipment Control Classes (ECCs):5.1.1 The ECCs are based on the consequences of the loss ofcontrol of the equipment. There are five classifications, orgroupings, which define the ECCs.5.1.1.1 Equipment Control Class 1Consequence of loss ofcontrol is a societal safety/security impact, which i
20、s character-ized by negative societal safety or security impact.5.1.1.2 Equipment Control Class 2Consequence of loss ofcontrol is a personal safety/security impact, which is charac-terized by negative personal safety or security impact that doesnot rise to the level of a societal safety or security
21、impact.5.1.1.3 Equipment Control Class 3Consequence of loss ofcontrol is an operational impact, which is characterized bynegative operational impact that does not rise to the level of apersonal or societal safety or security impact.5.1.1.4 Equipment Control Class 4Consequence of loss ofcontrol is a
22、compliance impact, which is characterized bynegative compliance with applicable laws regulations or otherrelevant internal or external guidance that does not rise to thelevel of an operational impact.5.1.1.5 Equipment Control Class 5Consequence of loss ofcontrol is not discernible, which is characte
23、rized by having novisible or recognizable impact on the organization.5.2 Equipment Control Levels (ECLs):5.2.1 The five levels of control of equipment are based ondifferentiated tracking specifications.5.2.1.1 Equipment Control Level A.Continuous, whichprovides real time tracking and control with ei
24、ther human orelectronic monitoring and surveillance at all times.5.2.1.2 Equipment Control Level B.Continuous while mo-bile, which provides real time tracking and control with eitherhuman or electronic monitoring and surveillance at any timethe equipment is not stationary in a secure, fixed location
25、.5.2.1.3 Equipment Control Level C.Event tracking, whichprovides the level of control characterized by manual orelectronic recording of movement, accountability, or steward-ship changes.5.2.1.4 Equipment Control Level D.Containment, whichprovides the level of control characterized by process orelect
26、ronic methods of assuring equipment items are containedwithin a designated area.5.2.1.5 Equipment Control Level E.No tracking and noprotection are required at this level.5.3 Equipment Control Matrix (ECM):5.3.1 The equipment control matrix describes the relation-ships between the ECCs and the ECLs.
27、(See Table 1.)5.3.2 Each equipment control class has a corresponding,standard equipment control level.5.3.2.1 The standard corresponding control level is markedwith an “S” for Standard on Table 1.5.3.2.2 An increased level of control is marked “I” forIncreased on Table 1.5.3.2.3 A decreased level of
28、 control is marked “D” forDecreased on Table 1.5.3.2.4 Levels of control marked “NR” for Not Recom-mended on Table 1 are not appropriate in most environments.5.3.3 Entities that choose to track and control equipment ata level of control other than standard should investigate andunderstand the implic
