Abstract

This thesis evaluates the physical security of the Multimedia Language Laboratory at the Eloy Alfaro Lay University of Manabí, El Carmen campus, through an IT audit based on the ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27002, and COBIT standards, as well as the MAGERIT methodology. The study identifies significant risks affecting the technological infrastructure, such as theft, power outages, equipment damage, and logical threats. Through observations, interviews, and surveys, the study revealed a lack of adequate physical controls, infrastructure deterioration, and a lack of access and maintenance policies, resulting in high and very high levels of risk. Consequently, a Contingency Manual was designed with preventive measures and operational actions aimed at strengthening the laboratory's security and ensuring the continuity of academic services
