Their capacity is checked against requirements, and resilience measures such as uninterruptible power supplies, generators, dual feeds and diverse network routes are in place where justified. These systems are inspected, maintained and tested regularly, with alarms for failures. Evidence includes utility dependency mapping, maintenance and test records, and load test results for generators and UPS units.\n\n**Common gaps.** Backup power is installed but never tested under real load, or its runtime no longer matches the equipment it supports. Single points of failure in shared building utilities or telecommunications entry points are commonly missed.",null,"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.iso.org\u002Fstandard\u002F27001","See the standard at ISO","2026-10-18T15:18:43.664+00:00",{"total":9,"list":17},[],[],[]]
