Global Sourcing – Physical Infrastructure Risks

There are essentially two factors that affect the physical security of an enterprise. The first is an attack by nature, such as fire, flood, power fluctuation, or other natural disasters. The other is by an attack from a malicious party that includes theft, terrorism, and vandalism. No matter whatever the condition might be, every enterprise does face several different kinds of physical security threats.

To manage and mitigate these risks which could be detrimental to an enterprises’ people, data and other assets, every organization follows a security risk analysis, where enterprises and their GICs assess the various risks and maintain an organized infrastructure to regulate their security processes. GICs follow a very strict protocol when it comes to physical security as it needs to safeguard and guarantee a safe working environment for its employees as well as provide proper protection to its assets and prevent misuse of any kind.

GICs, like their parent enterprises, use perimeter protection which includes physical barriers, bollards, and access control to secure sensitive areas. Protected areas are designed to withstand natural and man=made calamities including break-ins. Entry controls are installed to give access to authorized people. Again, work profiles are matched to physical areas to ensure restrictions are in place for unauthorised personnel.

Physical security is an important aspect or an enterprises’ overall risk framework and infrastructure. Its primary purpose it to protect an enterprises’ assets and defend the employees who are crucial to the well-being and continuity of an organization.

GICs of today are state-of-the-art Centres which completely reflect the parent enterprise and are equally equipped to manage all physical infrastructure risks from natural calamities, forced break-ins, vandalism, sabotage, and attack.
