Security Standards Must Be Established to Cover Access, Data, & Physical Security

Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services – 

When protecting a site it is important to set clear perimeter security standards in order to assess and mitigate any potential threats or risks effectively. A set of security policies need to be established to cover key areas such as access control, data protection, physical security, and incident response.

 

BENEFITS 

  1. Protects Assets and Information
    Corporations deal with valuable assets, sensitive information, and proprietary data. Security standards help safeguard these assets from theft, unauthorized access, and other threats.
  2. Mitigates Risks and Threats
    By implementing proactive measures, corporations can mitigate the impact of security incidents and reduce the likelihood of property crime, theft, and cyberattacks.

    Many industries are subject to strict security regulations and compliance requirements. Security standards can help you meet these obligations to avoid legal consequences and fines.
  4. Protects Reputation
    Adhering to security standards demonstrates a commitment to protecting customer trust and can help reduce the negative impact of potential security incidents on brand reputation.
  5. Ensures Business Continuity
    By identifying and addressing potential vulnerabilities, corporations can minimize the risk of disruptions and maintain continuity even in the face of unexpected events or crises.
  6. Prevents Financial Loss
    Security standards help prevent financial losses by proactively addressing vulnerabilities and minimizing the impact of security incidents.
  7. Enhances Employee Productivity
    Security standards provide guidelines and measures that create a secure workplace, reducing distractions and concerns related to security threats.
  8. Facilitating Partnerships and Collaborations
    Having established security standards can be a prerequisite for partnerships, as it ensures that all parties involved adhere to a common level of security practices.
