What security and access control measures are commonly used in FCs?

• A. Visitor check-in, badge access, restricted areas, and audit trails on WMS
• B. No security measures are needed in FCs
• C. Only CCTV cameras, no access control
• D. Randomized access to all areas for efficiency

Answer: (A)

In fulfillment centers, security relies on layered control and traceability: verify who is entering, restrict entry to authorized areas, and keep a digital record of actions. The best option combines visitor check-in to screen and log guests, badge access to enforce door and area permissions, restricted areas to limit access to sensitive zones, and audit trails on the warehouse management system to record who did what and when. This creates accountability, deters unauthorized access, and supports safety and theft prevention.

Why the other approaches don’t fit: having no security measures is unsafe; relying on CCTV alone doesn’t control who can enter areas or track actions; and randomizing access to all areas is impractical and risky for safety and inventory protection.
