Hybrid working broke the perimeter model
Access control designed for a fixed population struggles when a third of the badge list is in the building on any given day. Occupancy-aware policies and visitor management carry more weight than turnstile counts.
Rank threats by likelihood, then consequence
Tailgating and theft are frequent and cheap to mitigate. Targeted violence is rare and expensive. A credible programme addresses both, but does not spend its budget in the wrong order.
Convergence is not optional
A physical breach is now usually also a data breach. Where physical and information security teams report separately, incidents fall between them. Shared incident taxonomy is the cheapest fix available.
Measure the response, not the hardware
Camera counts are an input. Time to detect, time to verify and time to resolve are outcomes. Report the outcomes.
