Building Information Modeling

A specification for security-minded building information modelling, digital built environments and smart asset management. .It identifies the need to take appropriate and proportionate measures to protect asset information, providing useful guidance for asset owners and stakeholders. Importantly it identifies the need for a security-minded approach with appropriate recommendations where the outcomes of this process provide the built asset and/or a neighbouring built assets have important security controls considered.

The following questions are intended to be answered as part of a discussion between the organization’s security manager and those responsible for managing the organization’s built assets.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is going to transform the way that the architecture, construction, engineering and facilities management (FM) industries work together.This new collaborative approach is based on shared information models, which will be developed and maintained across the lifecycle of the building or infrastructure. A number of new risks are inherent in the adoption of BIM, in particular the need to address cyber security in the implementation of the collaborative processes and systems.

Building information modeling (BIM) is a process supported by various tools, technologies and contracts involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places. Building information models (BIMs) are computer files (often but not always in proprietary formats and containing proprietary data) which can be extracted, exchanged or networked to support decision-making regarding a built asset.

BIM software is used by individuals, businesses and government agencies who plan, design, construct, operate and maintain buildings and diverse physical infrastructures, such as water, refuse, electricity, gas, communication utilities, roads, railways, bridges, ports and tunnels.Cyber Security in BIM The  building and construction industry has experienced a significant transformation in recent years with the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM). BIM has changed the way architects, engineers, and construction professionals design and manage building projects.
