Read the first 7 Physical Security Surveys flashcards as text

  1. A security surveyor is evaluating CCTV effectiveness. What is the MINIMUM recommended camera resolution for facial identification at a 10-foot distance?

    Answer: HD 720p (1280x720) or higher

    HD 720p or higher resolution is generally required to capture sufficient facial detail for identification at distances around 10 feet.

  2. In physical security surveys, CPTED stands for:

    Answer: Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design

    CPTED is a design philosophy that uses environmental features—lighting, landscaping, sight lines—to deter criminal activity.

  3. Which lock grade is recommended for exterior doors of commercial facilities requiring high security?

    Answer: ANSI Grade 1

    ANSI Grade 1 is the highest commercial lock grade, rated for the most demanding security applications on exterior commercial doors.

  4. During a survey, you note that a facility uses proximity card readers at all entry points but has no PIN requirement. This configuration is BEST described as:

    Answer: Single-factor authentication that may be insufficient for sensitive areas

    Proximity cards alone are single-factor authentication; if a card is lost or cloned, access is compromised without a secondary verification factor.

  5. A physical security survey finds that a facility's loading dock is accessible 24/7 without logging or supervision. This PRIMARILY creates risk for:

    Answer: Unauthorized access, theft, and introduction of contraband

    Unsupervised loading docks are a primary vulnerability for theft, introduction of unauthorized persons, and contraband entry.

  6. What is the MAIN purpose of conducting a 'walk-through' survey versus reviewing only documentation?

    Answer: To identify actual conditions that may differ from documented procedures and plans

    Walk-through surveys reveal real-world gaps between documented security policies and actual implemented conditions on the ground.

  7. Which element is MOST critical to include in a physical security survey final report?

    Answer: Prioritized recommendations with risk ratings and remediation timelines

    Prioritized recommendations with risk ratings allow management to allocate resources efficiently and address the most critical vulnerabilities first.
