Mission-Critical Data Centre Security

Multi-layered physical security for Singapore's data centre industry — biometric access control, 24/7 SIOC monitoring, and officers trained in data centre protocols to protect your most critical digital infrastructure.

Understanding Data Centres Security

Singapore is Southeast Asia's premier data centre hub, hosting over 70 facilities operated by global hyperscalers, colocation providers, and enterprise operators. With the market valued at over $1.3 billion and growing, these facilities house critical digital infrastructure for financial institutions, government agencies, and multinational corporations — making physical security as essential as cybersecurity.

PICO Guards delivers the multi-layered physical security that data centre operators and their tenants require. Our officers are trained in data centre-specific protocols and understand the critical importance of maintaining strict access control, chain-of-custody documentation, and continuous monitoring.

Data Centre Compliance

  • ISO 27001 Information Security Management
  • SS 564 Data Centre Standards
  • SOC 2 Type II Compliance
  • Uptime Institute Tier Certification
  • PLRD Licensed Security Officers
  • SCDF Fire Safety Requirements

What We Deliver for Data Centres

Trained officers and integrated technology, purpose-built for data centres environments.

Multi-Tier Access Control

Layered access management from facility perimeter through reception, corridors, server halls, and individual cages — maintaining strict zone separation.

Chain-of-Custody Documentation

Complete visitor and contractor access documentation meeting ISO 27001 and SOC 2 audit requirements for every entry into secured areas.

24/7 SIOC Monitoring

Continuous command centre monitoring of all access events, CCTV feeds, and security systems with zero-tolerance response protocols.

Tailgating Prevention

Trained officers and video analytics working together to prevent unauthorised access through mantrap airlocks and controlled entry points.

Equipment Delivery Verification

Controlled equipment intake and removal procedures with documentation verification for all hardware entering or leaving the facility.
