A. Top guard capability

B. Range and observation

C. Perimeter illumination

D. Barrier resistance


Answer: B



3. To prevent intruders from easily scaling a 10-foot chain-link fence, a security manager adds an outward-slanting structure consisting of multiple strands of barbed wire at the very top of the barrier. This specific component is known as a:

A. Tower guard

4. Which of the following physical security measures serves as the primary, continuous medium-structure designed to establish the physical boundary of a protected facility and deter unauthorized access at ground level?

A. Security lighting

B. Wire fence

C. Watchtower

D. Perimeter vault


Answer: B



5. A security audit reveals that a facility’s blind spots can be compromised under the cover of darkness. The administration decides to install high-intensity illumination along the perimeter wall. What specific security component are they implementing to improve visibility without adding physical height?

A. Top guard

B. Wire fence

C. Security lighting

D. Observation tower


Answer: C



6. In physical security system design, what is the distinct tactical advantage of a guard tower over standard security lighting and wire fencing?

A. It provides a flexible, moving barrier against intrusion.

B. It offers an elevated, sheltered vantage point that increases the range of observation.

C. It serves as an automated access control point for personnel.

D. It eliminates the need for top guards on adjacent fences.


Answer: B



7. What is the primary purpose of a security survey?

A. To prosecute criminal offenders

B. To evaluate existing security measures and identify vulnerabilities

C. To discipline negligent security personnel

D. To compute total operational budgets


Answer: B

Explanation: A security survey is a critical, on-site assessment designed to identify risks, evaluate current physical and operational protective measures, and recommend improvements.



8. Who typically conducts a security survey?

A. Local barangay officials

B. Qualified security professionals or specialists

C. Front-line security guards on duty

D. Maintenance personnel


Answer: B

Explanation: Security surveys require specialized knowledge of risk assessment, physical security systems, and risk management techniques, making them the responsibility of security experts or consultants.



9. Which phase of security operations usually follows the completion of a security survey?

A. Security inspection

B. Incident investigation

C. Security planning and implementation

D. Background investigation


Answer: C

Explanation: The findings and recommendations generated from a security survey serve as the foundation for creating or updating comprehensive security plans and implementing new countermeasures.



10. How does a security survey differ primarily from a security inspection?

A. A survey is broader and evaluates overall risk, while an inspection checks compliance with existing standards.

B. A survey is conducted by police, while an inspection is conducted by private guards.

C. A survey is done daily, while an inspection is done once every five years.

D. A survey is strictly confidential, while an inspection is public.


Answer: A

Explanation: A security survey is an in-depth analysis of overall security posture and potential hazards, whereas a security inspection (or audit) routinely checks if established policies and rules are being followed.



11. Which element is considered a key step during the initial preparation for a security survey?

A. Arresting suspects on-site

B. Gathering background data about the facility and its operations

C. Purchasing new CCTV cameras immediately

D. Terminating non-performing security guards


Answer: B

Explanation: Before conducting an on-site survey, the surveyor must gather background information such as building blueprints, previous incident reports, organizational charts, and operational schedules.



12. What type of physical barrier is usually evaluated first during a perimeter security survey?

A. Firewalls and routers

B. Safes and vaults

C. Fences, walls, and gates

D. Employee ID badges


Answer: C

Explanation: Perimeter security forms the outermost line of defense. Fences, gates, walls, and outer lighting are the first physical elements assessed to prevent unauthorized access.



13. In industrial security, what does a vulnerability assessment identify during a survey?

A. Market competition strategies

B. Weaknesses that could be exploited by threats

C. Net profit margins of the company

D. Salary structures of employees


Answer: B

Explanation: Vulnerabilities are flaws or gaps in protective systems (physical, technical, or procedural) that adversaries can exploit to gain access or cause loss.



14. What is the main outcome of a completed security survey?

A. A criminal indictment

B. A comprehensive written security report with recommendations

C. A court summons

D. An employee performance evaluation


Answer: B

Explanation: The ultimate output of a security survey is a formal report detailing identified risks, current deficiencies, and prioritized recommendations to mitigate risks.



15. Why is a follow-up inspection recommended after a security survey?

A. To issue fines to management

B. To verify if the recommended corrective actions were implemented

C. To double the guard force automatically

D. To replace top management


Answer: B

Explanation: Follow-up checks ensure that management acted on the recommended security measures and that the new controls effectively address the identified vulnerabilities.



16. Which area of security is focused on protecting documents, trade secrets, and proprietary data during a survey?

A. Personnel Security

B. Physical Security

C. Information/Document Security

D. Operational Security


Answer: C

17. A local government unit (LGU) hires security guards through a contractual agreement with an outsourced security agency to secure its public market and town hall. These personnel are not regular government employees, nor do they belong to the military or police force. Under industrial security management laws, what is the classification of the security force serving the LGU?

A. Private Security Agency (PSA)

B. Company Guard Force (CGF)

C. Government Security Force (GSF)

D. Law Enforcement Unit (LEU)


Answer: A.

Under Republic Act No. 11917 and the rules issued by the PNP-SOSIA (Supervisory Office for Security and Investigation Agencies):   


Private Security Agency (PSA): Refers to any person or juridical entity that contracts, recruits, or furnishes security guards to render security services for compensation to private individuals, business entities, or government/LGU units. Because the security guards in this scenario are contractual hires provided by an external agency, they operate under a PSA.   


Government Security Force (GSF): Refers to a security unit established, maintained, and directly operated by a government agency or LGU itself using organic or plantilla/regular government employees (other than police or military) to guard government property. If the LGU directly hired and maintained its own internal guard unit, it would be a GSF.   


Company Guard Force (CGF): Refers to a security unit maintained and operated by a private, non-government business entity using its own direct employees to secure its properties.
