Security Risk Management

Security Risk Management is fundamental in establishing and maintaining an environment that supports the continuity of service and the availability of key business assets. Security Risk Management should aim to support the cost initiatives of the organization and enhance profitability by reducing losses. Risk management is not the prerogative of any particular specialty. It is inherent in all aspects of business and government. In its widest context, Security Risk incorporates the sum of Technology, Education and Management.

AS/NZS 4360: 2004, the cornerstone document for IP Risk undertakings, states that:

"Risk management involves managing to achieve an appropriate balance between realising opportunities for gains, while minimising losses. It is an integral part of good management practice and an essential element of good corporate governance."

Risk can be expressed as the possibility of events or activities impeding the achievement of organizational objectives. Risk Management concerns itself with managing the uncertainty that exists in all aspects of our private and business lives.

Security Design & Management

When designing a security plan and developing strategies for the plans' implementation there are ten principles that should be applied. By adhering to the principles listed the chances of having a sound security system are enhanced. The principles of security identify issues that need to be considered when considering how to secure assets and reduce the opportunity of loss.

Crime Reduction Strategies

Crime has been and will always be a major concern within society. Crime will never be completely eliminated from society; however the incidence can be reduced through planning and effective implementation of various techniques, methodologies, strategies and an understanding of the causes of crime and anti-social behavior.

Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) focuses on the design and management of the environment to reduce crime. Some of the considerations involved include:

• Crime prevention techniques
• Criminology theory
• Principles of design, designation and definition
• Situational crime prevention
• Lighting, natural access control and natural surveillance
