[Q] How
secure is the SDS Vault?
[A] Very.
The vault is underground except when
in use or being serviced. When it is underground it
is only accessible through the on-board stand alone
computer. This computer is not networked to any other
computers (closed loop), It controls all access to the
vault and records all attempts to access it and all
movements of the vault. An 8 digit pin, set by us in
the main office, ensures that passwords are not easy
to guess. The keypad, the only access to the onboard
computer from the outside world, can only be armed by
authorized personnel and is only active for a certain
amount of time. After a pre-set number of incorrect
password attempts, the keypad is locked down for a period
of time. Passwords are good only for one specific
compartment. To access all 6 compartments, a person
would need all six passwords, and would have to go through
the access and store mode, raising and lowering the
vault, six separate times.
