Answer

ANSI/ASIS PSC.1 is the Physical Security Professional standard that outlines processes for security assessments and risk management.

Question 2

In a layered security model, what is the correct order of security zones from outermost to innermost?

Accepted Answer

Perimeter → Building Exterior → Interior → High-Security Core

Answer

The layered model progresses from the property perimeter inward through the building exterior, interior spaces, and finally the most restricted high-security core.

Question 3

What is the recommended minimum engagement time a perimeter delay barrier should provide against a forced intrusion?

Accepted Answer

The time equals the expected law enforcement response time

Answer

Delay times should be matched to the actual response time of security personnel so that an intruder cannot complete the objective before responders arrive.

Question 4

During a consultation, a client asks about 'natural surveillance' as a security measure. Which example best illustrates this concept?

Accepted Answer

Trimming hedges near windows so occupants can see outside

Answer

Natural surveillance uses environmental design — like trimmed landscaping — to maximize sightlines, allowing occupants and passersby to observe potential threats without technology.

Question 5

A security consultant recommends 'access control' as a CPTED strategy. Which of the following is an example of natural access control?

Accepted Answer

Using walkways and plantings to guide visitors to one main entrance

Answer

Natural access control uses landscape features, fencing, and walkway design to channel movement toward monitored entry points without relying on technology or personnel.
