Major Areas of
Security
1.) Physical Security
a system of barriers place between the
potential intruder and the object/s/matter
to be protected. It is the broadest branch of
security which is concerned with physical
measures adopted to prevent unauthorized
access to equipment, facilities, materials
and documents and to safeguard them
against espionage, sabotage, damage and
theft.
Principles of Physical Security
1. The type of access necessary will depend
upon a number of variable factors and
therefore may be achieved in a number of
ways.
2. There is no impenetrable barrier.
3. Defense in depth barriers after barriers.
4. Delays provided against surreptitious and
non-surreptitious entry.
5. Each installation is different.
BARRIERS
Any Structure or physical device
capable of restricting, deterring
delaying illegal access to an
installation.
KINDS OF BARRIERS
Natural – are those natural topographic features
that lend themselves to denying or hindering entry
to an installation. The presence of rivers, seas,
cliffs, canyons or other terrain difficult to traverse
is an ideal natural barrier. To fully exploit its
positive contribution to the security system, the
natural features must be evaluated to determine its
positive and negative points in terms of the denial
to access into a facility they may provide
KINDS OF BARRIERS
Structural – is a permanent or semi-
permanent structure that lends itself to
hindering access to an installation. It is
primarily constructed for two main
purposes, to deny access and to protect
exposure from natural elements
KINDS OF BARRIERS
Animal – an animal barrier is used in partially
providing a guarding system or in augmentation
thereto. The cheapest animal used in security is
the geese while sentry dogs like the German
Sheppard dogs are usually utilized in the security
business. A sentry dog is valuable due to its keen
sense of smell and hearing. A noise or sound
approximately 26 yards are audible to dogs and it
can smell scents at least 100 yards away.
KINDS OF BARRIERS
Electrical/Energy – popularly utilized is the
employment of electrical, mechanical,
electronic energy to impose a deterrent to
entry of the potential intruder and to
advertise his presence. Protective lighting
system and protective alarms are commonly
used.
General Types of Physical
Barriers
1.)Natural barriers – include mountains,
cliffs, canyons, seas, marshes, desserts or
terrain difficult to traverse.
2.) Man-made barriers – structural
constructions like fences, walls, floors, roofs,
grills, road blocks, etc.
Perimeter Barriers
a medium or structure which defines the
physical limits of an installation or area and
restricts or impels access to it.
TYPES OF PERIMETER BARRIERS
1.)Fence – is an independent structure designed to
control physical and/or visual access between outside
areas and are classified into two types: solid and full
view.
Solid Fence - A solid fence is constructed of opaque
material to deny visual access.
Full View Fence - is constructed to permit visual
access but primarily designed for control or physical
access into a facility.
Types of Full View Fence
Chain Link Fence – must be constructed
of 7 feet material excluding topguard.
- it must be 9 gauge or heavier
2.) Barbed Wire Fence
- Standard Barbed wire is twisted double
strand
12gauge wire with 4 point barbs spaces in
equal distance
Barbed wire fencing should be at least 7 feet
excluding topguard
Must be fixed to posts not more than 6 feet
Barbed Wire Fence
3. Concertina Fencing
Commercially manufactured wire coil
of high strength. steel barbed wire clip
together to form cylinder
50 feet long and 3 feet in diameter
Concertina Barbed Wire Fencing
TOPGUARD
Additional overhang of barbed wire
placed on vertical perimeter fences
facing upward and outward with a 45
degree angle.
Topguard
2 Type of Perimeter Barriers
nd
Building Walls – masonry walls
commonly made of stone slabs,
concrete when employed as a security
barrier should have the same height
prescribed in fences and surmounted
by barbed wires and top guard.
3 type of Perimeter Barriers
rd
Bodies of water – these are natural barriers
such as streams, creeks, rivers, marsh or
pond – it must always be augmented by
walls in areas prone to entry and is not
considered adequate by terns of security.
The installation of flood lights at the
perimeter should be considered in the
security plan.
THREE LINES OF PHYSICAL DEFENSE
First Line – Perimeter fences and barriers
Second Line – Doors, Floors, windows , walls,
roofs and grills
Third Line - Storage System like steel
cabinets, safes, vaults and interior files
Clear Zones
- An obstructed area should be maintained on
both sides of perimeter barrier
- A clear zone of 20 feet or more between
barriers and exterior structures and natural
covers that may provide concealment for
assistance to a person seeking unauthorized
entry
Restricted Area
Any area in which personnel or vehicles are
controlled for reasons of security.
Exclusion Area – Contains a security interest
of Top Secret importance, hence it requires highest
degree of protection.
Limited Area Control – A lesser degree is
required, however, if security interest would be
compromised by uncontrolled movement.
PERSONNEL SECURITY
includes all security measures
designed to prevent individuals of
doubtful loyalty integrity character and
judgment from gaining access to
sensitive facilities or classified matters,
and/or to prevent the appointment,
employment or retention as employees
of such individuals.
PERSONNEL SECURITY
INVESTIGATION
a process of inquiry into the character,
reputation, discretion, integrity, morals and
loyalty of an individual to determine the
suitability for appointment or access to
classified matters.
General Techniques of PSI

Profiling – a subject’s reaction in a
future situation is predicted by
observing his behavior, or by
interviewing him, or analyzing his
response to questionnaires.
Deception Detection – use of devices
during interview
General Techniques of PSI

PROTECTIVE LIGHTING
provide illumination on areas to be secured
that adds psychological deterrence. It is the
single most cost-effective deterrent to crime
because it creates a psychological deterrent
to intruders.
TYPES OF PROTECTIVE LIGHTING
1. Stationary luminary - consist of series of fixed
luminaries to flood given area continuously
Example: glare protection type
2. Standby Lighting - provides continuous lighting
through manual operations.
3. Movable Lighting - stationary or portable manually
operated search lights.
4. Emergency Lighting - duplication of existing
lighting system that is utilized in the event of
electric failure.
Types of Lighting Equipment
1. Street lights - used in parking areas
2. Search Lights - highly focused incandescent lamps
used to pinpoint potential trouble spot.
3. Flood Lights - project light in a concentrated beam
used in boundaries and fences.
4. Fresnel Lights - wide beam units primarily used to
extend illumination in long horizontal strips to
protect approaches to perimeter barrier.
Protective Alarms
- supplemental physical barriers
in a form of sound that cause
alarm installed indoors or
outdoors in an installation.
Types of Protective Alarms
Central Station System – this type of alarm system utilizes
a station located outside the compound. When the alarm
is sounded, the security immediately calls the
attention of law enforcement units and fire teams as
the case may be. The alarm panel system is located
outside the facility but manned by company personnel.
Local alarm system – once the security has been
breached, the siren is sounded or a light flashes in
remote stations located in the immediate vicinity of
the installation. It would afford response of personnel to
the areas wherein intruders were able to penetrate.
Types of Protective Alarms
Proprietary system – this is a system wherein the panel
or station is located inside the premises of the
compound. It is fully owned and operated by the company
and response is assured with the least time of delay.
Auxiliary system – the circuitry is directly linked to
local police stations or fire stations and when
activated it immediately notifies said personnel for
prompt response. This system is prone to false alarm and
is considered unpopular. However, banks and other vital
establishments are fitted with such devices for response in
cases where the alarm is activated.
PROTECTIVE LOCKS AND KEY
CONTROL
Locks are mechanical devices used for fastening
doors, chests and lids consisting essentially of a bolt
guarded by a mechanism released by a key or a
combination. It is designed for an entry into an
installation and safeguards the removal of materials
contained therein.
Types of Locks
Warded locks – the simplest form of lock is a ward lock which uses
a bolt containing a notch called talon. The bolt is moved backward
or forward by engaging a key in the talon. It offers a little degree of
security and is merely used to afford one for obtaining privacy.
Disc tumbler locks – it contains one or more pieces of metal of
different heights known as tumblers, which intercepts the bolt and
prevents it from being moved until the tumblers are raised or
released by action. It is usually installed in cars and would afford
delay of at least 5 to 10 minutes.
Lever locks – similar in design with disk tumbler locks, it is
commonly installed in safe deposit boxes and are deemed picked
proof since it can be operated by utilizing combination by means of
dial.
Types of Locks
Cylinder locks – usually installed at home, also called a night latch
and is operated by a key on the outside and a knob on the inside.
Magnetic locks – similar in design with cylinder locks, except that
the pins need a suitably magnetized key to bring them into alignment
and allow the plug to be turned to release the bolt.
Electromagnetic locks – the doors are closed by magnetism and the
plates are operated by means of electricity. When the power is on and
the door is locked, it can resist the pressure of more than 1,000 lbs.
Combination locks – for installation in safe and bank vaults, it can
have an intricate system of at least 1 million possible combination
consisting of more than six dials, it affords the maximum delay in
terms of efficiency
Types of Locks
Code-operated locks – they are keyless locks. They
are opened by pressing a series of buttons in proper
sequence. In several designs, time locks are operated
when the series is incorrectly entered.
Card operated locks – utilize card which are coded in
notched, embedded in electromagnetic strips. It is
fitted with a recording device which identifies the user
and indicates the time of use.
Types of keys
Grand Master Key – a key that will open everything in
a system involving two or more master key groups
Master key – a key that is capable of opening series of
locks
Sub-master key – a key that will open a lock within a
particular grouping or particular area in a given facility
Change key – a key to a single lock within a system of
locks in an installation
Protective cabinets
referred to as the final line of
defense, it is high security storage
area where papers, plans, cash and
other negotiable instruments are
kept.
TYPES OF PROTECTIVE CABINETS
Safe – it is a metallic container used primarily for safekeeping of
documents and small items. It should be at least 750 lbs. in weight or
anchored to the building if lighter. The walls should be at least one
inch thick and the door 1 ½ inch thick
Vault – it is heavily constructed fire resistance storage facility installed
four inches higher than the floor and part of the building structure.
The door of vaults should be at least 6 inches thick. The vault wall,
ceiling, floor should be reinforced by concrete at least 12 inch thick.
Standard size vaults can store up to 5,000 cubic feet and fire resistant
of at least 6 hours.
File room – constructed lighter than a vault but bigger in capacity it is
installed as part of the building which holds up to 10,000 cubic meters
of essential items. At least 12 feet in height, with enough ventilation
and fire proof of at least 1 hour.
USEFUL TERMS TO REMEMBER
