ASIS INTERNATIONAL
COMMISSION ON STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES
The Commission on Standards and Guidelines was established in early 2001
by ASIS International (ASIS) in response to a concerted need for guidelines
regarding security issues in the United States. As the preeminent
organization for security professionals worldwide, ASIS has an important
role to play in helping the private sector secure its business and critical
infrastructure, whether from natural disaster, accidents, or planned actions,
such as terrorist attacks, vandalism, etc. ASIS had previously chosen not to
promulgate guidelines and standards, but world events have brought to the
forefront the need for a professional security organization to spearhead an
initiative to create security advisory provisions. By addressing specific
concerns and issues inherent to the security industry, security guidelines will
better serve the needs of security professionals by increasing the
effectiveness and productivity of security practices and solutions, as well as
enhancing the professionalism of the industry.
Mission Statement
To advance the practice of security through the development of guidelines
within a voluntary, non-proprietary, and consensus-based process utilizing to
the fullest extent possible the knowledge, experience, and expertise of ASIS
membership and the security industry.
Goals and Objectives
Assemble and categorize a database of existing security-related
guidelines
Develop methodology for identifying new guideline development
projects
Involve ASIS Councils, interested members, and other participants
to support guideline development
Identify and establish methodology for development,
documentation, and acceptance of guidelines thus promulgated
Build and sustain alliances with related organizations to
benchmark, participate in, and support ASIS guideline
development
Produce international consensus-based documents in cooperation
with other industries and the Security Industry Standards Council
Functions
Establish guideline projects
Determine guidelines for development and assign scope
Assign participating Council(s), where appropriate
Approve membership on guideline committees
Act as a governing body to manage and integrate guidelines from
various Councils and security disciplines
Review and monitor projects and guideline development
Approve Final Draft Guideline and Final Guideline
Select guidelines for submission to the Security Industry
Standards Council and the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI)

Safety Act Designation
In April 2005, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) awarded ASIS
International a Designation for its Guidelines Program under the SAFETY Act (Support
Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technology Act of 2002). This Designation is
significant in three ways: (1) it establishes that ASIS standards and guidelines are
qualified to be a technology that could reduce the risks or effects of terrorism, (2) it
limits ASIS liability for acts arising out of the use of the standards and guidelines in
connection with an act of terrorism, and (3) it precludes claims of third party damages
against organizations using the standards and guidelines as a means to prevent or limit the
scope of terrorist acts.

5.0 Guideline Designation
This guideline is designated as ASIS GDL FPSM nn 2008.
6.0 Scope
This guideline assists in the identification of physical security measures that can be
applied at facilities to safeguard or protect an organizations assetspeople, property,
and information. It is not aimed at a specific occupancy, but facilities and buildings in
general.
7.0 Summary
The guideline outlines eight main categories of physical security measures used to protect
facilities. These categories are:
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED),
Physical Barriers and Site Hardening,
Physical Entry and Access Control,
Security Lighting,
Intrusion Detection Systems (Alarms),
Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV),
Security Personnel, and Security Policies and Procedures.
FACILITIES PHYSICAL SECURITY MEASURES GUIDELINE
ASIS GDL FPSM DRAFT 3
8.0 Purpose
The purpose of this guideline is to introduce readers, who may or may not have a security
background, to the main types of physical security measures that can be applied to
minimize the security risks at a facility.
To choose the right physical security measures and apply them appropriately, it is
important to first conduct a risk assessment, such as described in the ASIS General
Security Risk Assessment Guideline. The risk assessment, accompanied by a basic
understanding of physical security measures provided by this guideline, makes it
possible, either alone or with the help of security consultants or vendors, to select and
implement appropriate physical security measures to reduce the assessed risks and
accomplish the protective task.
