2.15 Physical Security
All display devices that are assessed to require a high level of anti-theft security must be equipped
with a magnetic switch that is connected to the centrally monitored security system maintained by
the Facilities Management Unit. Local alarms that do not report to FMU are not acceptable.
The risk assessment for requiring alarms shall take into account the value of the equipment, its
location and the means with which it is mounted. LCD Monitors within standing reach in public
thoroughfare areas (such as digital signage players) are considered high risk and thus require an
alarm. LCD Monitors in locked meeting rooms may be considered low risk and will not need to be
alarmed.
The assessment of the requirement for alarms shall be undertaken by ISTS.
