What is physical security monitoring?
Physical security monitoring watches facilities for unauthorized entry. It includes closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, security guards, intrusion alarms, and recorded footage kept for review. Cloud data centers typically combine all of these.
What the buyer is really asking
This asks about cameras, guards, and alarms. For hosting, point to your cloud provider. For offices, describe what exists. If you have no office, say so plainly.
Other ways buyers ask it
Every one of these wants the same answer:
- “What physical security monitoring do you have in place?”
- “Do your facilities have CCTV?”
- “Are data centers staffed by security guards?”
Evidence to have ready
- Your cloud provider's physical security documentation
How Tyrvar answers this
Tyrvar treats every wording above as one question. You write the answer once, attach the evidence, and revisit it when your setup changes. Each buyer gets that approved answer no matter how their questionnaire words it. If you have not answered it yet, Tyrvar flags the question for you and does not make something up.
