hen I first take a client for a tour around one of our data centres they are sometimes surprised at the level of security they must go through in order to get inside. At the same time, these checks also serve to reassure them. Modern data centres should be designed with the following minimum layers of physical security: perimeter security at the entrance, mantraps into the data centre, access systems into the rooms and secure, locked cabinets and biometrics where required. No one should enter or leave the premises without proof of identity, and all visitors should be checked against customer- defined access lists before being allowed to enter.
