application, design and integration of physical security systems
Domain 2 accounts for 35% of the PSP® exam and focuses on the design of physical security systems. It includes selecting countermeasures, integrating components, and aligning with operational goals. This page features a breakdown of Domain 2 tasks and links to the Unlocking PSP Podcast episodes.
establish security programs performance requirements
Domain 2, Task 1 is extensive and divided into two episodes for thorough coverage. It focuses on foundational aspects of security system design, addressing constraints like regulations, budget, materials, and compatibility. It highlights the integration of risk analysis into design. It introduces key terminology and principles such as CPTED, defense-in-depth, and the 4 Ds. You'll also explore relevant codes and standards, define operational and performance requirements, and learn to establish success metrics for evaluating system effectiveness and resilience.
determine appropriate physical security countermeasures
Domain 2, Task 2 is divided into two episodes covering essential physical and technological security measures. The first part addresses structural components like barriers, lighting, locks, electronic systems (access control, surveillance, intrusion detection), security staffing, and emergency notification systems. The second part focuses on technical infrastructure, including data management, network security, communication systems, power sources, signal transmission, and visitor/vendor management—vital for a resilient security framework.
Design Physical security systems and project documentation
This section focuses on the complete physical security system design cycle, from initial concepts to final documentation. You'll learn to create detailed technical elements like calculations, drawings, and specifications, following CSI and AIA MasterSpec standards. Key topics include systems integration, project management principles, scheduling tools like Gantt and PERT charts, and cost estimation techniques like value engineering and cost-benefit analysis to ensure efficient and scalable designs aligned with project goals.
