| Forseeability can be your liability Since certain acts have occurred in or near your company, your company should reasonably be expected to foresee potential security problems and provide adequate security measures to protect against them. Moreover, foreseeablity could be established by all facts and circumstances, not just prior violent acts. Therefore, prior thefts may be sufficient to establish foreseeablity since these offenses could lead to violence. Upon assuming a new security assignment Upon assuming a security assignment, the security officer needs to know all possible threat scenarios. This requires an open line of communication. Identify and evaluate each threat; determine the criticality and dollar cost of the risk It is better to know and be prepared for any possible scenario specific to your business. Your business is unique Each business is unique and faces unique threats. In order to plan appropriately we need to know the incidents that needed responding too: prior incidents, response and consequences of loss if any. Our measure of effectiveness The security officers' measure of effectiveness is demonstrated by his/her ability to respond quickly and professionally. In order to accomplish this, takes planning, preparation and practice. We need to first, be able to detect the occurrence of a situation and have an appropriate response established from policy and procedures and then be able to understand and follow policies to reduce the vulnerability of company property. Continual open line of communication Property owners and management should fully disclose all past incidents and present threats that exists. A continual open line of communication should be maintained to inform the off-site and on-site security officers of your threats and vulnerabilities. Each individual firm has problems and threats that are unique. A through analysis is comprehensive and accurate and leads to effective countermeasures. |
Threat Assessments
Deciding what security measures you need are typically dependent upon a
realistic “Threat Assessment". First, identify threats you are exposed to then
evaluate how serious each can be according to each consequence. This can be
determined according to the concept known as foreseeablity.
