This procedure is to specify the use, maintenance and protection of the technology used to provide physical security to the premises.  

Description of Security Systems

LantChips and SnackCo utilizes technology as part of its security program. These include the following:

• Electronic access to doors which can be opened by employee badges.

• Alarms that are set when buildings are vacant that are triggered by door opening or motion detectors, and can be shut off by a keypad code.  

• Motion activated cameras with alarm. This system is deployed at every entrance/exit and is armed when the facility closes. They will record a video and send an alarm when IR motion is detected (SnackCo). This together with automatically locking doors, and a standard motion and magnetic sensor alarm system gives us a complete digital shell protection when the facility is closed. 

• Continuous high resolution camera recording of key areas in the facility such as cargo handling and storage, shipping/receiving, the loading process, the packaging and sealing process, as well as outside areas such as truck arrival and parking. These cameras are available remotely and the recordings for at least 5 days. Recording can be accessible if there are any discrepancies or suspicious events suspected. 

These systems are controlled through online access and in via an onsite control room.  Access to these areas is limited by personal login credentials or by a locked door.

Regular Testing & Inspections

• We inspect the technology on an annual basis which provide verifications that all of the equipment is working properly.  

• This inspection includes the following activities:

• Alarm to dispatch communication

• Units to system communication, cameras and detectors

• Verifications of CCTV recording functionality

• Inspection of door and access system

• Inspection of outside barriers such as fencing if applicable

• The results of inspection and performance testing along with any corrective actions are documented in Quality Shedule ID 126 Security Systems Monitoring. (SnackCo). For Svenska LantChips Larmcenter is the responsible party for the system.

Access Control

Employees are given access to general areas via their badges.  Access is granted or cancelled by office personnel who link each employee with their badge number / access card.  

Special access to disarm building alarms is given according selected employees based on job requirements by the CEO, who maintains control of the alarms.  Other access to selected systems is also delegated by the CEO where necessary, and only on an as-required basis based on job requirements.  Any needed code or access changes are also managed by the CEO.  

All security technology infrastructure must be physically secured from unauthorized access.  (Computers, security software, electronic control panels, video surveillance or cctv cameras, power and hard drive components for cameras as well as recordings.

Policy and System Review

This policy will be reviewed annually or more frequently as risk or circumstances dictate.

Periodic, random reviews of the camera footage must be conducted by management, security or other designated personnel to verify that cargo security procedures are being followed properly. Results of the reviews must also be summarized in SOA_08.06.011 to include any corrective actions taken.

Random reviews should follow chain of custody:  

• Cargo handling activities, 

• Container inspections, 

• The loading process, 

• Sealing process, 

• Conveyance arrival /exit, 

• Cargo departure, etc.  

• To find weaknesses in the system.  

The write up should include Date of review, date of footage reviewed, which camera/ area was the recording from, a brief description of any findings, and if warranted, any corrective actions.
