Areas like this can only be accessed by a small subset of the staff, which requires additional access credentials, such as MFA, unique PINs or biometric credentials. If anything goes missing or is damaged in the room, it narrows down who can be held accountable. Additional monitoring security components, such as video cameras or a staffed guard, can further deter unauthorized activity in restricted spaces. Monitoring systems Most organizations have surveillance in place to protect a facility. This allows them to detect intruders right away that may have bypassed other security measures, like perimeter security. Some systems can also detect natural disasters and issue warnings. These systems can include motion detectors, security cameras and fire alarms. In some situations, having these devices record activities is enough. However, other facilities require a surveillance system to be actively managed by a guard or personnel. Staff members Often, business owners will need personnel to enforce physical security measures, and hiring security staff can help address issues as they arise. There are some staff members or security personnel that are explicitly hired to implement security plans, while others are only encouraged to take an active role when an emergency happens. For instance, security guards and receptionists can act as gatekeepers, only giving access to those who are authorized. Patrols, on the other hand, can monitor a section of a facility at certain hours of the day. However, staff members should not be the only physical security measure implemented in an organization. Security teams or other staff should be supplemented with other technologies and components to ensure that every ground that needs protection is covered. Physical Security
