Ensuring the security of an organization
In the public mind, stereotypes of perception of the concept of “ensuring security” are still very strong as something connected with the state interests carried out by special state bodies.
Meanwhile, the law under security understands “the state of protection of the vital interests of the individual, society and the state from internal and external threats.”Thus, the legislator puts the interests of the individual first. One such interest is entrepreneurial activity, carried out individually or through joint participation in the creation of a legal entity.
In this article, we will try to give a few tips to ensure the security of the company.
Organization of a comprehensive system of enterprise security
The proposed article outlines the views on the application of a comprehensive methodology for ensuring the security of any enterprise, based on years of experience in development and the creation of specialized security structures. So, we will talk about the creation of Integrated Enterprise Security Systems (CSPs).
The very name “Comprehensive system of enterprise security” seems, at first glance, rather abstruse and pseudo-scientific … But let’s look at each basic term, from which this name consists.
The complex – involves the use for only one purpose various means, methods and techniques.
System – a set of elements interconnected various bonds. Systems are created for a certain time to achieve specific goals.
Collateral – any system for the realization of its goals and objectives must have the necessary resources.
Safety – security of the state of an object from external and internal risks, dangers and threats.
Enterprise – any economic entity of a market.
Enterprise Security System
Two events usually precede the creation of the security service of an enterprise: either it is an acute desire of the enterprise managers to react to sudden real threats to property, physical violence against personnel, etc., or this is a conclusion based on the results of the research on the unsatisfactory state of the enterprise’s security.
In the first case, the security service, created hastily, is able to reflect threats to some extent and in the future react to their emergence on the basis of the “threat-reflection” principle. The case changes significantly in the implementation of the second option. After a detailed study of the state of security of the enterprise (with the involvement of specialists, if they are not present at the enterprise), its managers will have a real idea of the security system of the enterprise.
Such a systemic representation (recorded in writing) allows consciously and purposefully to conduct work to ensure the security of business activities and the enterprise itself by all its departments and employees. At the same time, the leading role of the security service does not disappear, on the contrary, understanding its role and place in the security system of the enterprise will only lead to positive results.
Technical means of safety
In the modern world of innovative technologies, the tasks of ensuring the security (physical, technical, financial, information, etc.) of the vital activity of individuals and organizations are becoming ever more urgent. The proposed solutions each year become more effective, more reliable and more complex. Modern technical security equipment takes on more and more tasks for the protection of objects and territories, gradually displacing the person and entrusting him with only control and maintenance functions, which makes it possible to minimize the so-called. Human factor, to ensure objectivity, maximum reliability and stability of security systems.
Technical means of safety include:
- Alarm systems – security and alarm;
- CCTV systems;
- access control system (ACS);
- Perimeter security systems;
- Security systems of buildings and temporarily unoccupied facilities;
- Intercom system;
Ensuring the protection of information
It is very important to ensure the safety of any enterprise are the problems related to information security.
The main channels of information leakage include:
- The use of electro-transformation in equipment having communication lines by connecting them special adaptations. Talk to any room can listen in on telephone lines, even if the handset is in its place.
- Interception of electromagnetic radiation and interference arising from the hardware. The distances at which the interception is real, very significant. For example, information on a personal computer monitor screen is fixed on a special receiver located from the radiation source at a distance of 1 km.
- Eavesdropping on conversations taking place in the premises, with sensitive directional microphone, thanks to which in an urban environment can eavesdrop even quiet conversation at a distance of over 100 meters. Get information from the conversation is real and with the help of laser systems that react to fluctuations in the window panes in the company’s premises, due to human speech.
- Using visual information from the print obtained by using a computer, and other official documents by the use of optical and fotosredstv.
- Application of various miniaturized embedded devices, referred to “bugs”.
