Physical Office Security 2019

The first aspect of security is Physical Office Security, this is related to anything that doesn’t have to do with our IT infrastructure from maintaining a secure office (being mindful of who in the office at any given time, especially when it comes to guests) to not discussing company business while in public (e.g. at a restaurant or party) or on social media.

Steps that can be taken to secure the Physical Office Space are:

• Asking people you don’t recognize if you can help them
• Not allowing unauthorized people into the office follow you through the back doors when using your key fob
• Requiring guests to sign-in and NOT leaving them unescorted
• Destroying documents and other media with sensitive data.
• Using the shredders in the office (or at home if you work remote).
• Not leaving portable devices in public places
• Motion-sensing cameras in the office
• Servers and routers are to be kept in locked room(s)/closets
• Front Desk Security such as in the in WHO
