Each part of the building has a key security element to it.

1/ FOUNDATIONS: POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

These provide clear and consistent rules and set the expectations and actions. The foundation becomes unstable if the policies and procedures are not adhered to and kept up to date.

2/ WALLS AND DOORS: PHYSICAL SECURITY

The walls and doors keep threats out and protect everything within the building. Extra protection can be added by monitoring (Access  Control / CCTV). If there is a gap (ineffective or missing control) in the walls or doors, then the security becomes ineffective and people, property and assets are compromised.

3/ ROOMS: PERSONNEL SECURITY

The layout within the building is important as this is where people, information, and assets are placed. Knowing where to place people, knowing who has access inside the building, knowing who may work in sensitive roles, and the information and assets that may require extra barriers to keep them safe. 

4/ ROOF: GOVERNANCE

The roof connects everything, protecting all the domains and ensuring alignment. It allows those in the building to operate in alignment with the business by providing support and oversight.

5/ MAINTENANCE

Maintaining a Protective Security Framework is critical in today’s high risk world. When we talk in terms of the building, there is also external elements to consider ensuring a safe environment. Any Protective Security Framework requires regular maintenance (just like a building) through ongoing and refresher training, along with continuous processes improvement. We should also consider our neighbourhood through CPTED (or “neighbourhood watch”) which is a collaboration with partners, suppliers and clients.
