Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 250 rows came out of a blueprint — 27 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Site ID and security classification (critical infrastructure)
  • Perimeter security: fence height, barbed wire, vehicle barriers
  • Access control: badge reader, biometric (fingerprint, facial recognition), key lock
  • Surveillance: camera count, recording duration, video analytics
  • Alarm system: door sensors, motion detectors, temperature alarms
  • Security personnel: on-site guards vs. remote monitoring
  • Access logs: personnel entry/exit timestamps, visitor management
  • Security incidents: break-ins, vandalism, theft, copper cable theft
