Vanliga frågor

Do I need a licence to work as a guard at a data centre?

Yes. Provinces such as Alberta and British Columbia require security guards to be licensed, which means approved training and, in Alberta, a provincial exam. This course is background knowledge only and does not replace that training.

Do private data centres have to follow the RCMP security zone guide?

The guide is written for Government of Canada facilities. Private sites set their own rules, but many use the same idea of layers. Always follow your site's post orders.

What should I do if someone without a visible badge is in a restricted area?

Challenge them politely, check their identity and authorization, and follow your post orders. Report anything that does not add up.

Who do I tell about a cyber incident?

Follow your post orders, which usually means your supervisor and the site's IT security team. Organizations can report to the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security online; in an emergency, contact local police.

Är intyget ackrediterat eller officiellt erkänt?

Nej. Det är ett privat kursintyg, bara för dina kunskaper. Det är inte erkänt, ackrediterat eller godkänt av någon myndighet, tillståndsmyndighet, tillsynsmyndighet eller utbildningsinstitution, och det ersätter inte någon licens, certifiering eller utbildning som krävs enligt lag.
