Organisational Counter Terrorism Capability Evaluation Platform

Understand Your Organisation’s Current Capability Position

Are you ready to receive immediate operational capability results, maturity benchmarking, priority capability indicators, leadership insight, and structured educational & development guidance.

.

Why This Evaluation Exists

The introduction of Protect Duty (Martyn’s Law) represents a major shift for UK organisations. Many organisations now face the same challenge:

How do you move beyond policies, templates, and awareness training, and develop capability that stands up under pressure, scrutiny, and real operational conditions?

This Capability Evaluation has been developed to help organisations benchmark current preparedness, identify capability gaps, and understand what effective private sector counter terrorism delivery looks like in practice.

Built around operational principles used across public facing environments, critical infrastructure, high risk operations, and complex commercial settings globally.

It is also highly relevant for organisations operating internationally.

Researched Backed Approach

Research into organisational self-assessment (Ford & Evans, 2001) and capability maturity frameworks has shown that structured evaluations help identify capability gaps, support continuous improvement, and improve professional performance. Used across organisations worldwide, these assessments provide a benchmark for current capability and future development.

The Organisational Counter Terrorism Evaluation applies these proven principles.

.

More Than A Checklist

This is not a downloadable template, static audit, or theoretical compliance exercise.

The platform is an interactive operational benchmark designed to evaluate how effectively your organisation can:

• Interpret risk
• Apply proportionate protective security measures
• Prepare for incidents
• Develop staff capability
• Support defensible decision making under scrutiny

The evaluation focuses on capability, not paperwork alone.

.

What The Evaluation Measures

The scenarios and questions assess how your organisation currently approaches:

• Counter terrorism preparedness
• Operational decision making
• Protective security implementation
• Staff readiness and behavioural capability
• Incident response and organisational resilience
• Real world application of Protect Duty

Including alignment with:

• Protect Duty (Martyn’s Law)
• SIA expectations and guidance
• Established private sector counter terrorism principles
• Reasonably practicable decision making
• Operationally defensible security measures

.

Why This Matters

The ability to demonstrate proportionate, credible, and defensible preparedness is rapidly becoming a leadership, governance, and operational requirement.

Following a serious incident, organisations are unlikely to be judged purely on written policies, documented intent, or awareness activity alone.

Scrutiny will focus on:

• What was implemented
• What staff understood
• What decisions were made
• And whether systems could function effectively under pressure

This platform is designed to reflect that operational reality.

.

What You Receive

At the end of the evaluation you will receive immediate results including:

• A benchmark of your current capability position
• Identification of operational strengths and weaknesses
• Educational insight into capability development
• Guidance on improving preparedness and decision making
• Strategic direction for strengthening delivery and defensibility

Designed For:

• Responsible Persons
• Senior Individuals (Enhanced Tier)
• Security and Risk Professionals
• Business Leaders
• Protective Security Teams
• Organisations preparing for Protect Duty implementation
• International organisations benchmarking current capability

.

Before You Begin

Answer based on what your organisation can genuinely deliver now, including current systems, current plans, and current operational capability.

Do not answer based on ideal outcomes or assumed future capability.

This ensures the evaluation reflects genuine preparedness rather than perceived readiness.
