Do you have an internet connection for each site in your organisation?
What this question is really asking
Indicate whether each listed site has its own internet connection. This helps assessors understand your network topology — multiple internet egress points are all in scope and must each be protected by a compliant firewall.
What satisfies this requirement
Yes or NoYes/No.
What to prepare before your assessor visit
Every internet connection is an in-scope boundary and requires a compliant firewall. If a remote site connects directly to the internet rather than routing through your central network, that site's gateway device must be assessed against the firewall requirements. Don't assume a home DSL router satisfies the standard without specifically checking it.
