Assignment 2: Case Study Report – Report on a Security Control System Design based on a Facility
Length: 2,500 words
Module: All Modules
Your Task:
You are to provide a concept design for an automated Security Control System for the supplied site scenario.
In undertaking this assignment, briefly outline the design and discuss the layout of the overall property and the building(s). Briefly discuss the relevant risks and considerations that are applicable to this particular organisation and site, such as security, safety, user(s), cost, possible environmental issues and any pertinent (facility specific) legislative considerations.
Briefly outline your concept design for the site, with consideration to:
Security zones
Vehicle Control
Pedestrian Control
Parking Placement
Based on these factors, design an appropriate Security Control System, covering (as a minimum):
Credentials and their Readers
Portals and their barriers
Control room and software
Control and Communications overview
The Report should discuss the resulting design, with attention to the following aspects:
1. Design justification, incorporating:
Security zoning;
Reasons for equipment selection and design features;
The way in which the design satisfies the organisational requirements; and
Evidence of successful use of equipment and design features in similar applications.
2. Key issues that would be associated with implementing the system design in practice.
3. Any possibilities for integration with other facility systems.
Include diagrams, tables and lists wherever applicable to communicate the content clearly.
The design and discussion should also be supported by research and references wherever possible, especially when justifying the design and recommendations.
