Converged Security and the Agency Privacy Programme
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
Cameras, access control, alarm panels, guard-tour apps and visitor systems are now computers on a network. If they are badly set up, an attacker can switch off cameras, open doors, or steal footage and personal data, without going near the fence. At the same time, a security agency holds a great deal of personal data: guards' identity documents, police verification, bank details and health information; visitors' names and phone numbers; hours of footage. Physical security, information security and privacy are now one job, and the manager owns it.
Focus: know every connected device, separate and protect the security network, control who gets in, patch and back up, classify information, bind people with confidentiality, run a privacy programme, and share data with police and clients only by a written protocol.
