Remote monitoring of HVAC, Smoke, Fire, Water, or Power systems best reflects components of an environmental controls testing program. These systems are critical to ensuring the physical security and operational integrity of data centers and IT facilities. Environmental controls testing programs are designed to verify that these systems are functioning correctly and can effectively respond to environmental threats. This includes monitoring temperature and humidity (HVAC), detecting smoke or fire, preventing water damage, and ensuring uninterrupted power supply. Regular testing and monitoring of these systems help prevent equipment damage, data loss, and downtime due to environmental factors.

Environmental control standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management) include requirements for the testing and monitoring of physical and environmental security controls.
The "Data Center Operations Manual" by the Uptime Institute provides detailed guidelines on the testing and maintenance of environmental control systems to ensure the resilience and reliability of data center operations.
