A Risk Assessment of Piql Services by FFI

The Controller which sends the commands to the robots has no knowledge of which piqlBoxes are in which piqlBins, only where each piqlBin is located at any given time within the grid. It is the Element Logic Warehouse Management System (EWMS) which contains these details. The EWMS stores all information regarding the location of a specific piqlBox containing a specific piqlFilm, which is linked to a unique reel ID stored on a hard disk directly shared with the Piql IT system.

5.5 Safety and Security Requirements

As the design and layout of the storage room used for analysis is described, it is possible to specify which safety and security requirements are built into the storage facility.

In order to become a certified provider of the Piql Preservation Services, meaning providing the services under conditions guaranteed to ensure the preservation of the data for at least 500 years, both with regards to their longevity and their security, a Piql partner must adhere to certain requirements as stipulated by Piql AS. A minimum level of such requirements has been defined by Piql AS with regards to specified storage conditions, which includes protective safety measures, and to physical security. These requirements are laid out in the document entitled ―PiqlVault Storage Conditions and Security Requirements‖ [27]. In the next two sections of the report we will describe these requirements for safety and security considerations, and outline how they will be used in the scenario development for this assessment. Some of the requirements are very detailed both in their specification and description of implementation, whereas others are not as detailed and have required some additional descriptions from us. Here, we have made some assumptions for the purposes of this assessment. These are outlines in the schematic presentations of the requirements which follow each description of the requirements from Piql AS. The piqlVaults will, as previously stated, be placed in standard office or industrial buildings. Safety requirements as defined by law vary greatly between countries, depending on the risks associated with a given geographic location. In addition to observing the national legislation and regulations governing safety requirements in building design and construction, Piql partners are required to fit the Piql storage facility with additional safety measures. Safety requirements in a building structure serve as mitigation measures against accidents or natural disasters and sometimes deliberate attacks. Such measures can include fortified walls, fire protection, water protection, redundancy in utility supply, seismic resistance measures, and in especially reinforced structures, it may also include protection against electromagnetic pulses and protection against radiation. This list is not exhaustive. 5.5.1 Safety Requirements
