WALMART SECURITY SYSTEM 2

Walmart is a multinational company found in the US that deals in Retail Corporations

such as groceries, hypermarkets, and departmental stores of discounts. Sam Walton was the

founder of the Walmart Company in 1962 and incorporated in 1969. The company operates

under different names in other countries except for the US and Canada, where it operates as

Walmart (Walton, 2020). The company operates Sam's club in retail warehouses, and beginning

this year; it had reached 11503 clubs and stores in over 27 nations with different names. Fortune

Global 500 produced a list in 2019, and it showed that by revenue, Walmart was the largest as

well as the largest global private employer with about 2.2 million employees.

Generally, depending on the type of access control at hand, the company has a set of

well-defined policies and procedures to ensure that every action taken in the company is

accountable and justifiable. For example, the company has a well-documented policy to help in

hiring new employees, documenting the employees, screening of the employees, and even the

application for employment (Santos, 2019). The company also has a clear policy that stipulates

that the security policy of the employees should undergo review at least twice a year. Walmart

also applies a written threat awareness program to train its employees about the threats in every

segment of the company, and this makes the employees vigilant and careful.

The Walmart Company attempts to control eight different security controls types. Firstly,

it handles personnel security, where the recruitment of new employees is structured and carefully

verified. The second type of control is the threat awareness program through which employees

receive training on the security alerts in every department. Thirdly, the company controls

physical access control in which the restricted areas and sensitive areas are only of access to

authorized persons. Fourthly, it controls the physical security through which an official formally

appointed heads the transportation, employee, and facility security. The fifth area of access

control is the container and trailer security, where the guards should carry out inspection. The

sixth type is procedural security, through which the company ensures that well-documented

procedures are available to prevent compromise of the control system (Santo, 2019). The seventh

is information security, which is, of course, a very integral part of the company because it

controls the servers of the company, and all useful information is available here. Finally, it

protects the contractor security where those service contractors who may need to access the

facility on a routine basis undergo proper vetting.

The company benefits in many ways; for example, it ensures that the files get delivered

on an end-end encryption basis. Therefore, in summary, it gives strong encryption, keeps

sensitive data in transit, heterogeneous support for computing platforms. More importantly, it is

the ability to account for every source of any error in case of anything. Therefore, it ensures the

cautiousness of the employees. The company aims at protecting both its sensitive information

and that of its customers from licking to the public. By protecting their sensitive data, they

protect their reputation, and by protecting their customers, they protect their brand (Savvas,

2020). They protect their logins from getting into the hands of hackers who can use it for

malicious means. The codes are secrets known to a few people, especially the IT manager, and

that office is exclusively a restricted area. The critical information which forms the core of the

operation of the company should not fall into the hands of the adversaries because they may use

them for their gain and to the detriment of the Walmart Company. Confidential information of

the customers also needs to be safe, and that forms part of the data protected.
