The Problem: Consider the following Security Check List together with the associated costs and heightened risks. $ Parking lot entry control, rising bollards, bomb detection (guards with mirrors to check underneath vehicles for explosives, or portable bomb-sniffing devices). $ Provision of extra car parking spaces. $ Authentication at the outer door. Security control centre system staffing costs. $ After initial entry there need to be further detailed identification checks (official ID documents, biometrics, logging) before an access proximity card is issued. What is this visitor bringing into the building? Search and inspections may be required. Food, drink, cameras, communication devices, or strange memory sticks. $ Data area access: CCTV, no tailgating, proximity access card equipment, full height turnstiles. $ 19 inch rack access: Individual racks access by visitors should be only to authorized equipment. Requires monitoring, control, and logging. $ Extra staff to host visitor within the data center for most secure areas, there should be no strange packets or communication devices left behind. No straying in to unauthorized areas. $ Lots of cameras: Administration cost CCTV recordings (even with motion sensing recording for all parts of the building). $ Provision of restroom facilities for visitors, security screening for service staff. $ Checks to make sure that there is no unauthorized removal of equipment. $ Check that the visitor has actually left the site and signed out correctly.
