Data centre physical security design and monitoring

Data centre security is measured by audit. Every layer between the fence and the rack must be documented, enforced and provable to customers and certification bodies.

In short

Data CentersMulti-layer data centre security: perimeter, mantraps, biometric access, rack-level surveillance and audit-ready evidence for compliance regimes.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How granular should camera coverage be?

Typically identification-grade coverage at every access layer, aisle-level coverage in halls, and dedicated views of critical plant and delivery areas.

Do designs support certification audits?

Yes, the access matrix, retention policy and evidence procedures are documented in a form auditors can review directly.
