Critical equipment should be physically secured, tracked, and monitored, with special care taken for laptops and portable devices. Electrical safety requires surge protection and proper wiring. Finally, sensitive information must be controlled at all stages, from printing and copying to final secure disposal or transport."(Chapter 5-Protecting Your System: Physical Security, The Institute of Education Sciences)[^1]
