December 2011 is ‘Critical Infrastructure Protection Month’.  Here is the national proclamation for this event: “From irrigation to the Internet, our Nation’s critical infrastructure supports an incredible array of services and industries that are essential to our continued success and prosperity.  Critical infrastructure includes all systems and assets, both physical and virtual, that make vital contributions to our security, economic stability, public health, or safety.  This month, we affirm the fundamental importance of our critical infrastructure and recommit to preparing for, responding to, and recovering from hazardous events and emergencies efficiently and effectively.“

At Allied Fire And Security we are dedicated to protecting and securing your infrastructure. Whether your business is retail, community services, government, or business we understand the latest in security products. If your commitment is the security and safety of your enterprise, then you need to evaluate how you would respond to a wide range of disasters.

A large portion of this initiative is aimed at protection of critical public and private sector resources such as the power grid, the Internet, and the distribution of water, and other essential services, but there are many branches of this initiative that extend to almost every business. At a national and local level we are beginning to see that protecting our infrastructure is essential and it is important that we share and exchange our knowledge towards this goal.

Come in and talk to us about your security concerns and let us help you become informed about new options and products.

Every detail of government building / office security is defined by multiple specifications. When you are gearing-up to build, lease, decorate,or upgrade a government building it is critical that you either come in and talk to an expert or take time to weed through the dozens of specifications.

Many security product vendors have specialized in manufacturing products that stand up to government standards. Here is an example of the government specifications for filing cabinets:

******

CLASS 6 SECURITY FILING CABINETS

CLASS 6 LEGAL AND LETTER-SIZE SECURITY FILING CABINETS

Class 6 Legal and Letter Size Security Filing Cabinets are GSA-approved under Federal Spec AA-F-358

Affords protection for:

  • 30 man-minutes against covert entry

  • 20 man-hours against surreptitious entry

  • No forced entry requirements

Class 6 containers are typically used for the storage of secret, top secret, and confidential information.

Class 6 Legal and Letter Size cabinets are equipped with an X-09 lock meeting Federal Specification

FF-L-2740.

Short depth: The short depth container is approved for safeguarding classified material and is specifically designed and constructed for use in mobile or transportable tactical assemblages-(the one drawer short depth is the only GSA approved container available with mounting holes pre-drilled in the bottom).

Short depth Cabinets are equipped with locks meeting Federal Specification FF-L-2740

Field Safes:

  • Field safes are approved for safeguarding classified material and are specifically designed and

    constructed for use in military units in the field.

  • Carrying handles, hinged front and rear, raise to a 90° angle for easy handling.

  • Available with single lock or dual lock.

******

You can see from this specification that these filing cabinets are also safes. This is not a typical office filing cabinet and it is important that you purchase the cabinet that precisely fulfills the details of the governing specification. These specifications extend to almost every aspect of building construction and approved office hardware.
