Protecting Property
This can be divided into two areas:
- protecting tangible assets
- protecting intellectual property and the company's reputation
The physical protection of property, plant and equipment follows well-established criteria which cover:
- perimeter protection
- access control
- surveillance and supervision
- internal controls to prevent theft, fraud, corruption and diversion
- the creation of effective, tested plans to deal with a wide range of emergencies.
This is achieved by the production of a physical security manual, education and training of staff, liaison with architects, contractors and vendors and specialist input during design, construction and hand-over.
