Why Security Standards Are Important
When it comes to protecting assets, people, and critical national infrastructure, there is a wide range of threats posed by today’s increasingly sophisticated criminals and terrorists. How can we be sure of the performance of security equipment if attacked?
Would it guarantee the time/delay needed to thwart the severity of the tools and efforts employed by a hostile perpetrator or gang?
When it comes to physical security there are a number of standards for measuring the performance of security products. It is vital that when designing a security scheme, measures being put into place are certified and third-party accredited, proven to withstand simulated attacks.
In this guide we will be taking you through four of the major security standards you should look for when designing a security scheme, whether you are mitigating terrorists, intruders, or criminal attacks.
