Data protection
Four physical security measures you can take to help protect your important data
With big changes to the General Data Protection Regulation coming into force in 2018, we've outlined some of the steps you can take to protect your important data and conform to the new guidelines.
Over time, Data Protection has transformed to include much more than just hardware and software. GDPR takes into account the physical security of data, including the building it is situated in, as well as the principles protecting it from theft or misuse.
The physical security of your building or server room must be considered as a priority, ask yourself:
- Who can access your important data?
- Where is your data situated?
- How is your data physically protected?
- What current policies do you deploy?
From surveillance to physical deterrents, we can utilise a wide range of systems
Four steps you can take to protect your building and important data
With big changes to the General Data Protection Regulation coming into force in 2018, we've outlined some of the security systems you can deploy to protect your important data and assist with GDPR compliance.
24 hour surveillance to watch over your property
Knowing who has access to important information is one of the key points in creating a data protection policy in the workplace.
CCTV surveillance reinforces this policy and provides business owners with hard evidence of access to secure rooms where data is held. Cameras can be set to watch over entrances, triggered to detect movement or work alongside access control for added verification.
CCTV Systems can help you to:
- Watch over secured areas where data is held
- Provide a second verification on who has access
- Review historic footage for evidence
- Deter attempts of unauthorised access
Prevent unauthorised access to certain areas
Transform your security measures by replacing old and tired locks with innovative electronic locks - allowing management to gain more control over who has access to where, and when.
Access control can be deployed as a standalone option or networked across the whole building, simply managed by one central PC for ease of use. From here, you can keep track of movements, restrict access to certain doors or by time of day and quickly remove access privileges or ban cards at the press of a button.
Access Control can help you to:
- Replace old locks and remove the need for keys
- Provide an extra level of security on doors
- Set specific permissions for staff members
- Track staff movements across the building
- Eliminate lost or stolen cards in seconds
Deter criminals from targeting your property
Electronic security systems not only provide you with better management tools, intruder detection and surveillance, but can also be deployed as a proven deterrent.
Alarm bell boxes and CCTV cameras on display show the world you're under the protection of a professional security company like Scan Alarms. Remember, the last thing criminals want is to be seen, heard or caught.
Physical deterrents can help to:
- Cut the chances of being targeted by criminals
- Stop opportunist theft
- Demonstrate you're under protection
- Reinforce data protection policy with staff
Deploy additional alarm protection for secure storage of data
To assist with GDPR compliance, the security of hardware and backups must be taken into account. Whether you are securing data in a separate server room, cupboard or on multiple computers, additional alarm detection can be deployed to secure the environment.
Extra door contacts, window sensors and PIR detectors can be utilised in conjunction with your existing alarm system to provide further protection. In many cases, we can also help to protect data storage cupboards/rooms under a separate 'zone', allowing you to arm the alarm during the day without effecting day-to-day work.
Alarm Systems can help you to:
- Increase the protection across your building
- Secure separate server rooms or cupboards
- Set specific zones dedicated to data storage
