Protection against physical attacks:
Prevents unauthorised access and safeguards buildings, data centres and critical infrastructures.
Compliance with legal requirements:
Supports the implementation of regulatory demands such as NIS2 through a holistic security approach.
Reduction of security incidents:
Clear access controls and surveillance technologies enable risks to be detected and mitigated at an early stage.
Strengthening organisational resilience:
Enhances resistance to physical threats and ensures stable business operations.
Building security.
Buildings form the physical foundation of every organisation. Alarm systems, security staff and mechanical protection systems prevent unauthorised entry and defend against physical attacks.
Access security.
Controlled access to sensitive areas is crucial for overall security. Electronic access cards, biometric procedures and multi-factor authentication ensure that only authorised individuals are granted entry.
Data centre security.
Data centres require particular protection. Physical barriers, access control and video surveillance safeguard data and systems against burglary, sabotage or environmental hazards. The integrity and availability of the IT infrastructure take highest priority here.
Surveillance technologies.
Modern CCTV cameras and integrated video surveillance systems monitor critical areas around the clock. They help detect suspicious activity, document incidents, and support investigations. In data centres, early fire detection systems complement surveillance measures to identify risks such as fire in good time and prevent total failures.
Emergency and crisis management.
A well-designed emergency concept provides security in critical situations. Evacuation, escalation and communication plans, along with regular training for employees, ensure a swift response in the event of a crisis.
Why physical security must be part of the picture.
In many organisations, IT security ends at the digital boundary. Data centres may still be sufficiently protected – but other essential areas such as building security, access security, surveillance technologies and physical crisis management are often overlooked. Yet it is precisely here that real attack surfaces arise, which cyber criminals can deliberately exploit.
With the NIS2 Directive, a holistic security approach is moving into the spotlight: the so-called “all-hazards approach” requires both physical and digital risks to be addressed equally. Organisations that fail to adequately integrate physical security risk not only the loss of sensitive data, but also regulatory consequences and operational disruption.
Physical security measures are therefore not an add-on, but an essential part of a resilient security strategy.
