Sharing resources

We're moving into a new office soon and we're looking at becoming ISO 27001 within the next 12 months. We have a sister company that is insisting that we can all share the same network cabinet, but I am strongly opposed. If we do share a network cabinet, what are the complications for 27001 in the future?

Answer:

If you can provide evidence that sharing the network cabinet will not affect your information security risks (e.g., through a risk assessment), or that there are implemented controls to maintain the risks in acceptable levels, then you will have no complications with your ISO 27001 implementation.

These articles will provide you further explanation about risk assessment:
