Security By Design Involvement

Work with Dolby Labs began in 2007 with a request to perform security survey and code compliance verification. Requested to create global security standards. Dolby's goal was to achieve uniformity in its security systems worldwide. Proposed an approach to include the standardization of products and systems not only in the US, but also in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Such standardization is ambitious since not all systems are available in all countries.

Further, power requirements and life-safety codes differ from region to region.

Despite those challenges, SBD succeeded in creating standards for specifications and details so that Dolby can now issue its own RFP packages. This resulted in huge cost savings for Dolby because the equipment design work needs to be done only once.

Now, Dolby facilities and security staff around the world can plan and design their own security equipment configurations simply by consulting the standards manual.

Worked with Dolby to identify the best match for an enterprise access control system, security video system, and select an access card format.

Also provided consulting and engineering assistance to Dolby for their facilities in Vancouver, Canada; Sydney, Australia; and Burbank, CA. These projects entailed security video surveillance and access control systems.
