Physical Security for Canadian Enterprises

Every Company Needs Effective Protection Strategies for the Physical Protection of People and Data

Don't Ignore Physical Security

With the advent of the cloud, organizations, institutions and enterprises of all sizes run the risk of doing business without consideration for the physical security protection of data stored in remote data centres, server rooms and other locations that make it even easier to steal than to hack.

With our Operational Technology Security (OTSEC) group, clients have decades of certified expertise as part of every Verify™ Physical Risk Assessment, protecting people, process and technology.

Property Management

OTSEC helps to shape strategy around safeguarding the physical premises and assets of industrial facilities. Key elements include secure access control systems, surveillance cameras, fencing, alarms, lighting, and security personnel. Physical security measures help protect against unauthorized entry and ensure that only authorized personnel have access to critical areas.

Data Centre Security

OTSEC clients know that industrial facilities often handle sensitive information, including intellectual property, trade secrets, production processes, and customer data. Information security measures are essential to protect this data from theft, cyberattacks, and data breaches. This includes implementing cybersecurity measures such as firewalls, encryption, access controls, and regular security audits.

Safety and Emergency Preparedness

OTSEC helps to design and implement programs that ensure the safety of personnel and equipment. This includes compliance with safety regulations, proper training for employees, maintenance of safety equipment, and the development of emergency response plans. Preparedness for various emergencies (e.g., fires, chemical spills, natural disasters) helps minimize risks and mitigate potential damage.
