At a minimum, lock and key control procedures should include a key register to list keys, document their issuance, return, and/or disposition.
Another control measure would be to have a list of personnel who are authorized access to keys and key records.
What are the levels FPCONs?
FPCON NORMAL applies when a general global threat of possible terrorist activity exists and warrants a routine security posture.
FPCON ALPHA applies when there is an increased general threat of possible terrorist activity against personnel or facilities; the nature and extent of which are unpredictable.
FPCON BRAVO indicates an increased or more predictable threat of terrorist activity exists.
