Critical Physical Security services for establishing and operating a protective security program.
This includes a commitment to security, security culture, defined security roles and employee expectations, vulnerability assessment, resources dedicated to security and security implementation, access control and intrusion detection, monitoring and surveillance, and information protection and continuity.
Security Plans
Development and implementation of security plans that are comprehensive in scope, systematic in development, risk-based to reflect the security environment, and customized to the needs of the company.
Effective security programs employ a risk management process that facilitates planning and decision making to mitigate risks. General elements include:
- Assessments used to determine facility criticality
- Threat assessments identifying known or potential risks from an All Hazards approach
- Vulnerability assessments identifying security weaknesses
- Risk assessments (based on threat, vulnerability, and consequence, considering facility criticality assessment findings)
- Risk mitigation to determine and implement appropriate risk reduction countermeasures
- Ongoing risk management to monitor, reassess, and modify the program
Emergency Action Plan Evaluation/Creation
Creation and implementation of Emergency Action Plans to address vulnerabilities identified through the Risk Assessment process. Although based on an All-Hazards approach, emergency action plans are most effective when based on the probability of an attack or natural disaster.
The process includes:
- Identifying vulnerabilities to man-made threats
- Identifying vulnerabilities to natural hazards
- Understand the threats and hazards HOW they would impact the facility
- Once impacts are determined, mitigation strategies can be planned and implemented
Emergency Actions Plans generally include threat-based protocols, emergency response, continuity of operations, communications, reunification, media and recovery.
Emergency Plans should be developed and maintained in a manner consistent with the Risk Analysis and Management for Critical Asset Protection (RAMCAP) standards.
