How often must a facility undergo a security review?

A facility must undergo a security review at least every five years to ensure that security measures remain effective and compliant with current regulations and threat environments. This period allows for a comprehensive assessment of the facility’s security practices, policies, and the physical security features in place. Such intervals can help identify vulnerabilities and ensure that security protocols are updated in response to changes in the nature of threats or operational needs. Adequate time between reviews also facilitates thorough documentation and recovery plans, enabling facilities to maintain a strong defense against potential security breaches.

While some organizations may choose to conduct security reviews more frequently, particularly in high-risk environments, the standard minimum of every five years establishes a baseline for regular evaluation of security effectiveness.
