Levels of Physical Security

5 LEVELS OF PHYSICAL SECURITY
2
Physical security refers to measures to protect
assets, people, and property against any kind of
threat. There are five levels of physical
security, each with unique responsibilities,
dangers, and training requirements for the safety
and protection of people, assets, and property. A
security risk consultant can suggest the best
level of security for your property. Minimum
Security As the name suggests, minimum security
levels are the lowest levels of security that
requires the least attention. This is mostly used
in private properties and rarely in properties
where there will be security officers who are
trained to watch cameras and respond to
intruders. This mainly consists of a set of
surveillance cameras, alerting systems, and some
basic physical barriers like doors, windows, and
locks.

• Low Security
• Low security is an improvement over minimum
  security and may include more robust measures
  such as reinforced doors, locks, window bars,
  security gates, and even specialized
  illumination. In the event of an intrusion, the
  sound alarm turns on, and the system notifies the
  authorities. Small stores, retail establishments,
  and storage facilities are a few instances of
  low-security requirements. Security guards may
  receive training in patrolling (particularly at
  night), surveillance, and emergency response.
• Medium Security
• Threats from the inside and outside are both
  covered by medium security. This security system
  would have all of the features of low security
  but more cameras for watching over employees,
  clients, and visitors. The objectives of medium
  security are damage detection and obstruction.
  With a high fence, patrolmen, and an unarmed
  guard, perimeter security would be much improved.
  Basic training and knowledge would be needed for
  the security staff.

Medium Security Threats from the inside and
outside are both covered by medium security. This
security system would have all of the features of
low security but more cameras for watching over
employees, clients, and visitors. With a high
fence, patrolmen, and an unarmed guard, perimeter
security would be much improved. Basic training
and knowledge would be needed for the security
staff. Manufacturing facilities, sizable retail
establishments, armories, and warehouses are
examples of places with this level of
protection. High-Level Security High-level
security systems are used in jails, prisons,
defense contractors, pharmaceutical companies,
and electronics. These systems are designed to
check on internal and external activities. A
perimeter alarm system, gates, controlled entry
and exit, security lights, armed guards, security
dogs, and collaboration with law enforcement
would also be included.

  Maximum Security The highest and most
challenging level of protection is maximum
security. The objectives are to identify,
monitor, stop, and deal with all internal and
external risks. It features a high-level,
impermeable alarm system that cannot be tampered
with, remote monitoring and surveillance, and
tactical response. A team of security guards is
on duty around the clock, prepared to handle any
problems. Foreign embassies, some prisons,
nuclear power plants, and government buildings
frequently employ these systems. A security
risk consultant can analyze a project
objectively, unlike anybody else, because they
are familiar with the full security ecosystem. A
third party's unbiased opinion is frequently
beneficial and advised. They assess your property
and advise you on the ideal level of security for
the long-term health of the business and its
assets.
