Sector security advisory

Physical Security for Data Centres

Data-centre environments require disciplined physical-security controls around people, access, critical spaces, contractors, systems and continuous operations.

Operating environment

Operating context

A data-centre security requirement needs to be shaped around the specific site, security zones, operating controls and interfaces between physical access, monitoring and response.

Key concerns

Data Centres security considerations.

Layered site boundaries, restricted technical areas, visitor and maintenance controls, resilient monitoring and incident integration.

01

Access to critical rooms and infrastructure

02

Visitor, vendor and contractor management

03

Perimeter, detection and surveillance coverage

04

Systems integration and operator visibility

05

Continuity, incident response and change control

How LORIN would scope a review

Risk-led, site-specific advice.

A review can assess the access pathway from perimeter to technical zones, vendor and maintenance controls, alarm response and resilience requirements.

LORIN applies critical-infrastructure, assessment, design and security-technology advisory methods to a data-centre requirement shaped through discovery and agreement.

What LORIN delivers

Useful outputs for the environment.

Physical-security site and access review
Risk and control requirements
Security-zoning and design inputs
Systems-integration requirements
Tender and project-support inputs where agreed

Relevant project context

Relevant experience includes TVRA and security-survey work for operational and backup sites at NETS, together with security-systems upgrade planning for SGX.
