Answer: ISO 27001 requires only that physical areas and equipment are protected against unauthorized physical access, damage, loss and interference, providing general controls to be fulfilled for each issue (e.g., security perimeter, equipment maintenance, entry controls, etc.). This standard does not provide details on how this should be done (e.g., type of technology, quantities, etc.). For more detailed orientation you should consider ISO 27002, which provides guidelines for the implementation of controls from ISO 27001.

These articles will provide you further explanation about ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 and physical controls:
