What elements would you include in providing a layered security system for a three-building corporate campus that includes a five-story building housing, which is the headquarters office for a major pharmaceutical company in the following scenario? (HINT - start by identifying what you believe are the critical assets and their locations and work from there... .)

Assume that there have been “Moderate” threats made against this company – however not too specific- employees are worried, and executives somewhat cautious in their daily activities. There have been major protests in and around the facility, however, only a few arrests have been made.

The campus is located adjacent to a river that flows into the Chesapeake Bay and sits on ground 8 feet above sea level. The building is in a suburban location, sited on approximately five acres adjacent to an interstate highway ramp. Parking is included within the campus boundary and approximately 750 employees are present daily, plus approximately 50 visitors. The loading docks can be accessed from the parking lot via side roads.

Building 1 contains the headquarters offices and is where all of the company’s executives work; all field administrative operations (human resources etc.) are coordinated from this building. Building 2 is where sensitive research is conducted (scientist, and research) and computer – information technology is coordinated. Building 3 has what may be considered as the overflow operations for the company; sensitive training (laboratories), conference rooms and storage. The computer room is in the basement of Building 2 essentially to provide a cool operating environment. The storage facilities hold equipment and supplies used to maintain the grounds.
