BEST PRACTICES OF PHYSICAL SECURITY
2
Physical security measures are the precautions
and safeguards implemented to protect your
facility against a wide range of threats,
including theft, vandalism, and natural
disasters. Every organization requires
different security solutions depending on the
vision and security needs required by them, but
there are some practices that, when modified
slightly, fit every organization and protect them
from any physical attacks. A thorough physical
security consulting will recommend the smallest
necessary changes to optimize these practices and
ensure comprehensive security for your
organization.

• Investing in security personnel
• The first thing to consider is visible security,
  as it is the best deterrent against attacks.
  Hiring extra security guards, revising patrol
  routes regularly, and manning entries and exits
  can offer many security benefits, including
  protection against unauthorized entry and exit.
  This gives your employees peace of mind and also
  discourages those with malicious intent from
  working against your company.
• But this alone can protect your property against
  theft or vandalism. Additionally, you must make
  sure that your security crew is trained in the
  physical security measures your company is
  putting in place and that they are familiar with
  your organizational standards. Additionally, they
  must be equipped with sophisticated tools that
  they might use to resist and delay intruders
  while performing their duties. Additionally, they
  must be able to react adequately in various
  security circumstances.

Using monitoring systems Security guards can help
in deterring and delaying intruders, but it is
limited to their proximity. Monitoring systems
are useful in these circumstances. This kind of
physical security system can help you stay
informed about what's happening simultaneously in
different parts of your facility while averting
potential risks. However, monitoring systems are
tailored to the unique characteristics of each
property, and there are numerous factors that can
impact their effectiveness. Security cameras
should be installed carefully in places that may
provide the most visibility over your property.
When a breach happens, these recordings may be
used as proof, and cameras with AI analytics may
assist security professionals in determining
where to concentrate during crucial situations.

Limiting facility access Restricting access to
your facility is the most effective means of
enhancing security. Guards can effectively cover
areas with lower security demands. However,
security-sensitive zones necessitate security
checks and access control measures, including
identification tags for entry and exit. Utilizing
a commercial intercom system can help track
visitors and secure deliveries. In cases
demanding heightened physical security, advanced
access control methods like biometric readers and
coded locks should be implemented. Educating
your employees Having advanced security systems
and a set of trained guards will not be effective
if employees are not aware of your physical
security protocols and implementations.

Make certain that your staff is trained to manage
physical security risks in order to ensure that
they are ready. They can help secure your assets
and perhaps even save lives if they are aware of
the standard operating procedure. At the same
time, educating them might help them feel more
secure knowing that they are covered in case of
crises or breaches. Physical security consulting
have expertise in recognizing risks and
weaknesses, developing budget-friendly measures
to mitigate them, and ultimately lowering risk.
Services encompass risk and security evaluations,
physical security program development, and the
design of physical security systems.
