Bridging the Gap: The Importance of Cybersecurity in Physical Security Systems

In today’s world, where digital and physical security are becoming increasingly interconnected, recognising the importance of cybersecurity when choosing security products is vital.

Using non-approved products can introduce vulnerabilities in your security, granting unauthorised access to your network. This can result in the remote unlocking of critical security devices and physical access to your premises, creating significant risks.

CCTV: Ensuring Comprehensive Cybersecurity

CCTV systems for businesses are a cornerstone of security, but they must also be robust against cyber threats. At A-Plus Security use NDAA-approved products, which have been rigorously tested to meet stringent cybersecurity requirements. Our partnerships with leading NDAA-approved companies such as Axis, Avigilon, Cathexis, and Hanwha Vision offer tailored solutions that align with your specific needs and budget. These products not only enhance physical surveillance but also ensure your digital infrastructure remains secure.

Access Control: Certified and Secure Systems

Effective access control systems are essential for protecting both physical and digital assets. Offering access control solutions certified to ISO 27001, Secure by Design, and CAPSS 2021 standards, these certifications ensure that all systems have been thoroughly tested for compliance and vulnerabilities. For government agencies, compliant with GOVPASS standards are provided.

Systems from top manufacturers like Gallagher Security integrate fully with CAPSS-certified management software, ensuring seamless operation and compliance with NPSA guidelines. For facilities requiring automated gates or speed lanes, A-Plus Security’s solutions are designed to meet these standards, while intercom systems without door unlocking capabilities simplify compliance requirements.

Intruder Alarms: Adhering to the Highest Standards

Intruder alarms are a critical component of physical security, but their effectiveness is compromised if they are not secure from cyber threats. A-Plus Security ensures that all intruder alarms meet the latest NPSA (formerly CPNI) guidelines. Providing systems from reputable manufacturers such as Texecom Premier and Honeywell Galaxy intruder alarms, these systems are monitored by ARC partner, EMCS, which holds NSI Gold and Cyber Essentials plus certified to ensure the highest level of security is provided.
