A security architect is designing security controls for a new office building's wiring closets. The building will house multiple departments with varying security clearance requirements. Which of the following designs represents the BEST approach for securing the wiring closets?
Create consistent security controls for wiring closets across the building
Use a secure wiring closet on each floor of the building
Place network equipment in a centralized data center instead of wiring closets
Implement tiered access control for wiring closets based on sensitivity levels
Implementing tiered access control based on sensitivity levels is the best approach because it aligns security controls with the risk profile of each area. This satisfies defense-in-depth principles by creating appropriate security layers based on the sensitivity of network equipment and data. The approach enables proper segregation between departments with different security clearance requirements while optimizing security resources. The other options either fail to provide adequate segregation (wiring closet per floor), ignore distributed network requirements (centralized data center), or inappropriately apply uniform security regardless of risk levels (consistent controls for wiring closets).
