Every organization has to ensure that it has in place internal building security system for the protection of its people, procedures as well as assets such as equipment from potential natural and human threats. These are risks that are bound to interfere with the ability of the organization to undertake viable business activities and operations. The physical protection system is not a one size fit all. This is so because different organizations will have different physical protection needs for their internal as well as external security of their building depending on the type of business they are running, (Garcia, 2001). As such, the success of the process as a whole will greatly rely on the ability of the designer to take into account the particular needs of the organization in question as well as the available resources for the designing as well as the implementation of the internal security system.
Access Control
Access control forms the backbone of the internal security system plan of the building of every organization. The system is critical in the sense it keeps unauthorized personnel out of the company premises as well as create an integration with the other internal security systems of the organization such as the CCTVs, alarm system and security guards among others. The first thing that will be addressed in the process of designing an effective control system in the vulnerabilities of the organizations and the first one is the perimeter of the premises. This will include the entrances, parking lots, and garages. This will then move inwards to the inwards in concentric circles to cover the access areas of the facility such as the main entrance into the building to specified zones within the premises, (Wheeler, 2011).
