Physical Controls are measures designed to protect an organization's tangible assets and premises from physical threats. These include controls like locks, security guards, biometric access systems, and surveillance cameras to prevent unauthorized physical access or damage.
Technical Controls involve the implementation of security technologies such as firewalls, encryption, and intrusion detection systems to protect data and network resources. Managerial Controls focus on establishing policies, procedures, and guidelines to govern the organization's security practices. Operational Controls relate to day-to-day activities like incident response and change management.
Therefore, measures that safeguard tangible assets like buildings and equipment fall under Physical Controls.
