Your organization has an office with space for 25 workstations. These workstations are all fully equipped and in use. Due to a reorganization 10 extra workstations are added, 5 of which are used for a call centre 24 hours per day. Five workstations must always be available. What physical security measures must be taken in order to ensure this?
A.
Obtain an extra office and set up 10 workstations. You would therefore have spare equipment that can be used to replace any non-functioning equipment.
B.
Obtain an extra office and set up 10 workstations. Ensure that there are security personnel both in the evenings and at night, so that staff can work there safely and securely.
C.
Obtain an extra office and connect all 10 new workstations to an emergency power supply and UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). Adjust the access control system to the working hours of the new staff. Inform the building security personnel that work will also be carried out in the evenings and at night.
D.
Obtain an extra office and provide a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) for the five most important workstations.
Explanation:
Physical security includes the protection of equipment through climate control (air conditioning, air humidity), the use of special fire extinguishers and the provision of clean energy. Clean energy refers to the prevention of peaks and troughs (dirty energy) in the power supply and the fact that the power supply is filtered.
