Physical Security Guidance for Your Work place

Monitor and control who is entering your workplace: current employees, former employees, and commercial delivery and service personnel. Check identification and ask individuals to identify the purpose of their visit to your workplace. Report broken doors, windows, and locks to your organization’s or building’s security personnel as soon as possible. Make back-ups or copies of sensitive and critical information and databases. Store, lock, and inventory your organization’s keys, access cards, uniforms, badges, and vehicles. Monitor and report suspicious activity in or near your facility’s entry/exit points, loading docks, parking areas, garages, and immediate vicinity. Report suspicious-looking packages to your local police. DO NOT OPEN or TOUCH. Shred or destroy all documents that contain sensitive personal or organizational information that is no longer needed. Keep an inventory of your most critical equipment, hardware, and software. Store and lock your personal items such as wallets, purses, and identification when not in use.
