• Fire prevention, suppression and detection

    Prevention Use non-flammable building materials Conduct training on how to respond when a fire occurs Suppression Use portable fire extinguishers Detection Install heat-detectors Install ionization smoke detectors

  • Natural gas security measures

    Attach a shut-off wrench to a cord near the shut-off valve.

  • Considerations for key control

    The assignment and monitoring of key holders. The decision whether or not to hold master keys. The limitations and controls placed on the duplication of keys. The need for patented cylinder locks, depending on security requirements.

  • Safes, Vaults and secured containers

    Vault security classifications are supplied by the underwriters laboratory The underwriters laboratory provides standards for the construction of vault doors, floors, walls and ceilings The weight of a safe contributes to its security classification.

  • Instakey and Intellikey

    InstaKey A key device that can be used to disable a using one turn of a master key to change a lock. IntelliKey A key device that contains a built-in microprocessor, microcomputer, and key-exchange data.

  • Characteristics of compartmentalized areas

    Contains sensitive data that, if lost, could cause serious harm to the organization or others. The access rights of personnel into the area are frequently verified.

  • Intrusion Detection Technology: Examples

    Acoustical detection: A bio-hazard laboratory is in a hermetically sealed area of a building. Motion detection: A large warehouse needs after hours protection. Electrostatic detection: A expensive painting on display needs protection. Electro-Mechanical detection: the door to a server room. Electro-Mechanical detection: detects breaks in electrical circuit. Passive Infrared: Detects fluctuations in energy and particle…

  • Components of layered defense

    Mechanisms for preventing unauthorized access to rooms where sensitive data is stored. Bars on windows that represent possible building entry points. Surveillance devices for securing the perimeter of the organizations’s premisses. A security gate for restricting access to a suite of offices.

  • Securing a safe

    Create strong combinations for the safelock and change these frequently Install the safe in reinforced concrete

  • Secure HVAC systems

    HVAC is short for „Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning“. Installing separate air conditioning for data centers. Maintain positive pressurization Also, in the context of access control: Implementing access control for cable runs. Securing ventilation registers from unauthorized access.
