Protective Security Reviews

 

Whats the Purpose

The purpose of an independent or in-house protective security system review is to ensure that the system is properly designed and functional to effectively mitigate risks, safeguard assets, and provide a secure environment against 21st Century Threats.

A review is a crucial step in the lifecycle of a security system, and its main purposes are as follows:

 

Security Risk Mitigation. Is the system aligned with the organisation’s risk profile and effectively addresses identified threats.

 

System Validation. Is the system functioning correctly and capable of deterring, detecting, and responding to security incidents.

 

Quality Assurance & Control. This includes evaluating system delivery and management.

 

Functional Integration. Is the system integrated seamlessly throughout the organisation.

 

Staff Training. Can staff follow security procedures and respond appropriately to security incidents.

 

Identification of Weaknesses. Enables the organisation to address these issues promptly, enhancing the overall security posture/culture.

 

Long-Term Effectiveness. By thoroughly reviewing a protective security system, organisations increase the likelihood of its sustainability and credibility.

 

Peace of Mind. An organisation’s leadership, stakeholders, and employees, knowing that the security measures in place are well-designed and capable of responding to security challenges.

 

A review of a protective security system is essential to ensure that the system aligns with the organisation’s security objectives, effectively mitigates risks, and provides a safe and secure environment for personnel, assets, and information.
