Site Type: Data Centres and Critical Infrastructure
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
A data centre is a building full of computers that run banks, phones, hospitals and websites. Power stations, water works and telephone exchanges are similar. If they stop, thousands of people suffer. We call these sites critical infrastructure.
Focus: these sites are protected in layers. Every layer matters, and you guard one of them. Never let anyone skip a layer, however important they seem.
Learning objectives
- Explain how layers of security protect a critical site.
- Run a two-door entry (often called a mantrap) correctly.
- Apply the two-person rule and the "escort at all times" rule.
- Control what goes in and out, including phones, cameras and data drives.
- Act safely when an alarm or a gas-suppression warning sounds.
