SIMPLE SECURITY MEASURES FOR OLD BUILDINGS
2
Security consultants who are knowledgeable about
the particular difficulties presented by old
buildings are needed to secure these buildings.
They are essential in identifying security
threats and mitigating them while maintaining the
structural integrity of the structure. They carry
out in-depth risk analyses, create individualized
security solutions, and suggest precautions like
access control systems, surveillance technology,
intrusion detection, and fire safety systems that
are all suited to the building's layout and
features.

• Be prepared for fire emergencies Every room must
  have an automatic fire suppression system to
  protect the room from any fire accident. Since
  water is most widely used for this purpose, this
  can damage electronic devices. Carbon dioxide or
  halogen systems are advised for replacing water
  in firefighting. Moreover, staff members must get
  training on how to utilize gas masks and other
  safety gear. Additionally, manual firefighting
  tools like fire extinguishers should be easily
  accessible, and staff members need to be well
  trained in their use.
• Avoid non-essential materials in a secure
  computer room Technically, this policy should
  state "no eating, drinking, or smoking near
  computers," but convincing staff to follow this
  rule is probably difficult. Curtains, reams of
  paper, and other flammables are other
  non-essential items that might pose issues in a
  secure setting and should be removed as a result.

3. Maintain a reasonable climate within the room
For optimal performance of both people and
equipment inside a room, it is advised to
maintain a reasonable temperature in the room. If
people are comfortable, then equipment will
typically be as well. However, even after
everyone has gone home for the evening, the
room's temperature and humidity level should be
maintained between 50 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit
and 20 and 80 percent, respectively. It has a
direct impact on the disks as it gets thawed out
after freezing and gets damaged. 4. Don't arouse
unnecessary interest in your critical facilities
A secure room should have "low" visibility.
Better to avoid any signs indicating expensive
equipment or sensitive information or any of that
kind to prevent any deterrents. And keep this
room out of direct sight to prevent intrusions.

5. Maximize structural protection To provide
complete physical protection, a secure room
should have full-height walls and fireproof
ceilings. Unauthorized entry and monitoring are
prevented by full-height walls, making it
challenging for intruders to enter the space.
Additionally, by limiting outside sight, this
design decision protects critical data and
assets. On the other hand, fireproof ceilings
safeguard the room's occupants and priceless
goods in the event of a fire emergency. This dual
strategy improves the room's overall safety and
security by preventing prospective threats while
also ensuring that it can withstand numerous
risks. 6. Incorporating modern security systems
Other physical security measures to take into
consideration include window bars, anti-theft
cabling, magnetic key cards, and motion sensing
detectors.

7. Minimize external access (doors, windows) To
prevent trespassing, doors and windows that are
sturdy, fireproof, lockable, and visible to the
designated security professionals should be
present in a secure room. Never prop open the
door of the secure chamber. It is better to avoid
large windows, and every window ought to be
lockable. As long as the proper authorities
appropriately manage the keys and combination,
locking windows and doors can be a successful
security measure. Every compromised lock should
be updated if there is a breach. Physical
security consultants also provide training for
residents, guarantee adherence to local laws, and
seamlessly incorporate security technologies into
the design of the property. Their job is to
maintain the safety and security of people inside
these buildings, as well as the properties and
equipment inside them. DSP consultants are the
best physical security consulting in Dubai for
security design, and SIRA-approved security
consultants provide security studies, threat
analysis, and risk analysis.
