📚 9. Real-World Case Studies
🏢 Lobby Guard Post Fatigue
Test: Night shift observation
Finding: Guard inactive during critical hours
Impact: Multiple unlogged access entries
Fixes: Rotational guard schedule + biometric shift check-ins
📷 CCTV Blind Spot Breach
Test: Coverage mapping + entry simulation
Finding: Service entrance not covered by cameras
Impact: Unauthorized physical access went undetected
Fixes: Added dome cam + motion sensors in blind area
🛡️ 10. SOP – Standard Operating Procedure
- Review SOPs, camera placement, and shift logs
- Conduct live surveillance coverage mapping
- Observe guards during active duty hours
- Perform unannounced patrol response drills
- Trigger simulated intrusion attempts
- Collect alert response time data
- Analyze coverage vs incident map
- Deliver report & validate improvements
📋 11. Sample Surveillance & Guard Audit Checklist (Preview)
- Validate existence and detail of guard SOPs
- Map current CCTV placement and field of view
- Simulate unauthorized entries at varied times
- Review camera recording and retention settings
- Cross-check guard patrol logbook vs schedule
- Monitor guard attentiveness during night shifts
- Evaluate escalation path for incidents
- Test incident response under simulated pressure
- Identify and log CCTV blind spots
- Confirm integration of CCTV with access control
