a) Is CCTV (recording) a necessity within a data centre? <br>
<br>
It's a requirement of our insurance company so yes.<br>
<br>
b) Would you feel it's appropriate if a data center provider
didn't have CCTV as part of their service provision and soly
relied on physical access logs for physical security auditing?
<br>
<br>
No there is no due diligence, No there is no backup. That is
a physical log is one form of security but it has no backup
cctv provides a backup. <br>
<br>
c) Would you state that CCTV is simply implied as a standard
inclusion when it comes to the provision of data centre
services?
<br>
<br>
Nothing is implied or standard. Most customers worth their
salt will send you the normal security DD questionnaire. <br>

Thanks for your feedback, if you
have the time, I'd really
appreciate if you could provide
your responses to the initial
questions. I would like to review
the industry belief, whilst I have
my own experiences and beliefs, my
own feelings are insufficient to
solely use in my case study and
thus it is necessary for me to
consider the broad industry
responses and beliefs.
<br>
<br>
Rather than just taking the
queries to my direct colleagues
(who may be inclined to think the
way I do, given that birds of a
feather flock together), I'm being
thorough and taking onboard the
comments from the complete
industry.
<br>
<br>
Regarding logo, this is just an
email signature, we started off as
a design agency so aesthetic
design is important to us. I've
removed our logo for you on this
response.</span></font></p>

</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Skeeve,<br>
I saw a system once that took stills out of the rack when a
reed on the door was triggered. So simply taking a record of
people who opened the door so it could be perhaps more innocent.
Im not sure a camera looking out of the rack would be that
useful and sure people may be upset about there privacy. We have
a no camera/photo in our center policy for customers and our
CCTV monitors the general floor and ingress and egress points.
It would be only scrutinized in the event of some sort of
security breach any way. To the broader issue of cctv. Well
it's so cheap who would not put it in. Compared to the other
facility costs. UPS/GEN Fire etc etc.
<br>
<br>
It's a strange question Chris could you give us some background
to why ask? You cant help but notice a big logo at the start of
your email....

<div>I think CCTV is important... but you have to ask a more

<div>Ingress/Egress, definitely. Every rack? I don't think so.
As long as you can verify who went in and out, and where they
went... i.e. which room, then you are fine.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>No one wants to be constantly watched as they do their job,
and let's be honest here... video of an engineer sitting on
the floor typing on a laptop, or inside a rack playing with
things, isn't exactly going to give you much information about
what they are doing, and anything it does, is unlikely to be
in context.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've seen people even have cameras in their rack looking
out... never sure what that was for. I used to have one in a
rack opposite where I used to regularly work in Global Switch,
so I just stuck a bit of paper over it. No idea whose it was,
but they didn't have a right to film me doing my work. It is
also illegal since they don't have a sign saying they are
doing it, and I am sure they don't have a
covert surveillance warrant.</div>

<div>When it comes to DC's, I am not sure what defines a
workplace however... and surveillance when people have cameras
inside their racks looking out, may be illegal.</div>

<div>Essentially, if you can't trust the DC's security, you
probably shouldn't be using that DC.</div>

All,<br>
<br>
I'm performing a small
case study and would
really appreciate if
you're able to provide
your feedback in
relation to the
following questions
regarding CCTV within
a data centre;<br>
<br>
a) Is CCTV (recording)
a necessity within a
data centre? <br>
b) Would you feel it's
appropriate if a data
centre provider didn't
have CCTV as part of
their service
provision and soly
relied on physical

physical security
auditting?
<br>
c) Would you state
that CCTV is simply
implied as a standard
inclusion when it
comes to the provision
of data centre
services?
<br>
<br>
My personal experience
is that CCTV is
necessary within data
centre services in
order to investigate
potential physical
security breaches in
events where physical
access logs don't
provide the necessary
information being
investigated. I also
feel that a data
centre without CCTV
would be akin to a
human without oxygen,
in that both co-exist
and are co-dependent.<br>
<br>
I would however really
appreciate your
thoughts and feedback.
Thank you! <br>
