9.6.3 Ensure management approves any and all media that is moved from a secured area (including when media is distributed to individuals).
9.6.3 Select a recent sample of several days of offsite tracking logs for all media. From examination of the logs and interviews with responsible personnel, verify proper management authorization is obtained whenever media is moved from a secured area (including when media is distributed to individuals).
Without a firm process for ensuring that all media movements are approved before the media is removed from secure areas, the media would not be tracked or appropriately protected, and its location would be unknown, leading to lost or stolen media.
