UPMSP High School Security study plan

Define the CIA triad and apply each element to three concrete security scenarios (a gate check, a lost key, a leaked duty roster).

Distinguish preventive, detective, and corrective controls and classify fifteen examples into the correct category.

Explain defence in depth and least privilege, and describe how each applies to a guard post with a visitor log and a key cabinet.

Produce a one-page glossary of twenty core security terms written in your own words, with one everyday example per term.

Identify the layers of physical protection (perimeter, building envelope, interior zones, asset level) and label them on a hand-drawn sketch of a site you know.

Describe at least six access control methods (badge, PIN, biometric, key, escort, visitor pass) and state one strength and one weakness of each.

Explain the difference between authentication and authorization at a controlled door, using a tailgating scenario.

Write the step-by-step procedure a guard follows to verify, log, and issue a visitor pass, including what to do when identity cannot be confirmed.

List five physical vulnerabilities (tailgating, propped doors, unmonitored loading bays, poor lighting, single-key systems) and one mitigation for each.

Draft a daily occurrence book entry template with fields for time, location, persons involved, action taken, and sign-off.

Write three sample incident reports (unauthorized entry attempt, property damage, lost key) using a consistent structure: what, when, where, who, action, follow-up.

Explain what makes a report defensible in a disciplinary or legal review: factual language, no opinion, no gaps, timely submission.

Sequence the documentation chain for a single incident from notebook entry to final report to supervisor review, and identify who signs at each step.

Set up a personal filing routine that keeps copies of reports for a defined retention period.

Classify the four fire classes (A, B, C, D) and match each to the correct extinguisher type, stating one common misuse for each.

Describe the PASS technique for extinguisher use and the conditions under which a guard should evacuate instead of attempting to fight a fire.

Outline an evacuation procedure naming assembly point, sweep roles, headcount method, and the report-back chain.

Explain how smoke spread, closed doors, and stairwells affect evacuation time, and identify two building features that help or hinder escape.

Draft a short emergency contact and escalation list for a fire event, distinguishing who calls emergency services and who meets them.

Sequence the adult basic life support chain: scene safety, check response, call for help, open airway, check breathing, chest compressions, and AED use.

State correct compression rate and depth and the compression-to-breath ratio for a single rescuer, and explain why early defibrillation matters.

Describe how to control severe bleeding with direct pressure and how to recognize and manage choking in a responsive adult.

Explain the recovery position and when it is appropriate.

Identify three situations in which a guard must not move a casualty and must wait for medical help.

Identify the main hazard categories on an industrial or campus site (slips and trips, electrical, confined spaces, chemical, noise, manual handling) and give one control per category using the hierarchy of controls.

Explain permit-to-work and lockout/tagout in plain language and describe a guard's role in enforcing them at an entry point.

Select and describe the correct personal protective equipment for four different site areas, including its limitations.

Outline the steps for reporting a near miss and explain why near misses are recorded even when no injury occurs.

Describe how to secure a hazard scene (spill, exposed cable, damaged barrier) before specialist help arrives.

Demonstrate a five-step de-escalation script (approach, listen, acknowledge, offer options, set limits) and record yourself delivering it twice.

Explain the difference between an interview and an interrogation, and state why a security guard should stick to fact-gathering and hand over to the proper authority.

Describe the limits of a guard's authority: detention versus arrest, use of force, search of persons and property, and when police must be called.

Explain confidentiality and data protection duties for visitor logs, CCTV footage, and incident reports, including who may receive them.

Identify three ethical traps (bias in profiling, accepting gifts, sharing gossip) and state the correct response to each.

Describe the purpose and limitations of CCTV, access control readers, intruder alarms, and radios, and state one failure mode for each.

Explain how to verify that a camera view or alarm zone covers the intended area, and what to record when it does not.

Complete a full timed mock exam across all ten domains and score it by domain to find weak areas.

Re-study the two lowest-scoring domains and rewrite your notes into a single condensed revision sheet.

Review all prior deliverables and close any gaps flagged during the mock review.
