secure area
Access-controlled space
A secure area is a space with controlled access, protected against unauthorized entry or surveillance.
The term appears in airports for post-screening zones, in buildings for restricted sections, and in computing for protected data environments.
Only badge holders may enter the secure area.
The level of security varies—from a locked office to a military installation.
