(020)000000 Rees Phillips CAD Centre Cardiff (02920)388817 Dear Mr. Ashford: As we agreed previously, I have prepared this report for your company, Rapid Data Services Limited, London, at present residing on the banks of the river Thames in an old grain warehouse, that after analysis of the site and current set-up of your computer systems, I conclude that apart from inadequate security, you need to rectify your power needs, access, and security both internally and externally. This report pinpoints your buildings failings and how you can rectify these problems either here at the first Rapid Data housing, or in the future as it will give you an idea of what precautions you should be making to any new establishments. Also included Background information.

Firstly, to reduce the risk from any physical threat we need to increase the security surrounding Rapid Data to include an alarm system, which is connected to an outside agency for monitoring, security personnel to be present at all times if the public are going to be allowed into the building to gain access to accounts, computer terminals, staff, sales personnel, technicians etc., also 24hr surveillance via security cameras need to cover both the inside and outside of the building, and then we need to look at fire risks and how to reduce them, also as your site is beside the Thames we would need to protect it from any flooding that may occur, these are environmental issues which present a real risk to the overall security of your business and to handle the increase in business and to protect against any power loss, a uninterrupted power supply should be in place. The other main areas for change are intrusion measures needed to be in place to restrict any and all unauthorised access by undesirable persons, hackers, spammers, thieves and theft of any data that is of importance to the company and its clients, also this report will give consideration to the fact that it may be cheaper to use an already established server housing company than to risk the extreme costs that may be involved when planning to initiate a world class data storage facility to include major clients and many smaller clients who will entrust all their data to your company and the level of security that these clients would expect.

Install an Alarm SystemPhysical security measures such as deadbolt locks are designed to keep intruders out. If they get in, however, you need to know about it. A monitored alarm system serves two basic purposes: First, it can trip a siren that will scare an intruder away; Second, it alerts law enforcement professionals who can respond to your break-in.

Assign a Floor MarshallA Floor Marshall is a volunteer in your organization whose job it is to approach unrecognized visitors and make sure that they have a legimate purpose to be on your premises. A Floor Marshall also gives other employees a go-to person for reporting suspicious individuals.

Employ a permanent security guard

This has advantages over a volunteer because having staff whose sole responsibility is to guard the entrance and monitor the surveillance system and intercept any visitors is not going to be doing something else at the wrong time, a volunteer may.

Install an Electronic Access Control SystemMechanical locks tell no tales. By upgrading your door locks with an Electronic Access Control System, you will gain a record of who opened, or attempted to open, every door. This information will be extremely helpful if you need to investigate a security breach. In addition, an EAC system lets you instantly add or delete electronic keys. This elimates your exposure due to lost or stolen keys, and also allows you to assign customized access privileges based on time, date, and authority level.
