When selecting a security container for sensitive software or data storage, vulnerability is a primary consideration alongside the item's value.

Vulnerability Assessment:

Examines the likelihood of theft, loss, or tampering.

Includes factors such as sensitivity, confidentiality, and susceptibility to compromise.

Security Grade Selection:

Items with higher vulnerability require enhanced protection (e.g., fireproof safes, tamper-resistant containers).

Standards like UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certifications guide appropriate container choices.

Other Factors (Not Primary):

Commonality or Reproducibility: Refers to ease of replacement but is secondary to vulnerability.

Place of Origin: Unrelated to container selection unless specific compliance laws dictate otherwise.

Physical Security Standards: Guidelines on protective measures for high-value or high-vulnerability assets.

Risk Mitigation Strategies: Evaluating risk exposure to align protective measures effectively.

Asset Protection Practices: Emphasis on securing critical assets with robust containment solutions tailored to assessed risks.
