Commonplace in today's and the future built environments and its facilities are Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS). Now embraced by all kinds of facility types, sizes and purposes, the technology and connection of BACS go much beyond simply the big or high rise commercial structure. BACS is driven commercially; a desire for more information
flow and functionality across the company helps to lower running and maintenance costs. Besides, to offer a facility more time sensitive and safer. BACS are today a corporate information system, not only a convergence of plant and equipment. BACS permeate every level of a facility's communication system as well as all areas of its operations. BACS is used
or depended upon by several departments, groups, and individuals working inside an organization. For instance, the role of security and related technologies is presently and will be more so absorbed into BACS. Building engineers and facility managers design and run BACS, though, and they might not be focused on the security concerns and hazards of the
Company and its buildings Still BACS's security represents a major
business threat facilitator and hence cause for concern. Therefore, the business culture has to be ingrained with the security policies meant to reduce such risks against violations of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. BACS are easy target for exploitation. Such exploitation puts the company at danger for the security and facilities professional that might
affect the entire company and have significant and wide effects. Consequently, the security and facility experts should have a relative knowledge of BACS, their weaknesses and mitigating techniques.Still, there is little known about the degree of awareness, knowledge, and practice among the several experts in charge of safeguarding BACS. Thus, this study
aimed to acquire an evidence-based knowledge of what is known and applied with BACS security by the several experts. Moreover, the initiative sought to create rules using a hierarchical decision-making instrument that compiled these discoveries. To be able to control BACS risks and threats in line with organizational requirements, this report covers every

objectives and deliverables at each level, the project followed a three-staged research approach presented an articulation of BACS technologies together with definitions, historical and contemporary roles in the built environment, system architecture, prevalence in the built environment, the main manufacturers and market situation, embodied in a critical review of
the available literature. Following this debate, an accompanying threat matrix produced and the technology of BACS and its exploitable vulnerabilities were assessed in line with the current body of research. Engaged in management of the built environment, stage 2 evaluated existing BACS awareness and practices of security and facilities personnel. This
stage ran an online survey distributed via ASIS International, BOMA, and SIA. There were semistructured and Likert questions in the survey. Various correlation analysis combined with measurements of central tendency including mean, standard deviation helped to examine likert data. Using thematic analysis approaches applied to participant replies, the open-
questions were examined Drawing on Stages conclusions
Stage developed a BACS Guideline. This step aimed to interpret the research results in line with support for the security and facility professional in their knowledge and application of BACS security. Apart from that, the focus groups examined the professional understanding and practice of BACS derived from the Stage 2 online survey and also provided additional
improvement to the Guideline to guarantee practitioner usage. This technique helped to clarify things more deeply.The survey followed a logical path (Appendix D), which at certain points eliminated respondents from having to answer contextual questions they believed they understood or were not relevant for. This strategy had several advantages, including cutting
the time busy respondents had to finish the survey and eliminating respondents whose poor grasp of a certain subject would lead to random answers. This was intended to guarantee more replies in the several spheres of security and construction operations. Emails encouraging participation in the online survey were sent to ASIS International, BOMA, and

SIA members. Respondents accessed the online Qualtrics survey via a link found in the email. When a sufficient sample size had been attained, statistical power analysis was applied. First questioned were respondents to the survey whether their employment fell under Security, Building Owner/Operator, Consultant, or Other. Based on the answer to this question, several employment positions pertaining to the chosen job function were on show.
After then, the respondents were questioned whether they knew about the several BACS architectural levels. Those who said yes were next asked to score on a Likert scale from very low to very high their degree of knowledge of each of the three architectural levels. Those respondents who said they did not know about BACS architecture were not asked to score their degree of knowledge.After that, every respondent was asked whether or not their group
