Security Culture and Insider Risk
Security is created in the interplay between people, culture and systems
Insider risk arises when an employee, a supplier or an authorised system with legitimate access can cause harm. This may involve deliberate acts, but also human error, lack of knowledge, unclear expectations, pressure, weak work processes or access that is more extensive than the need warrants.
Managing insider risk well is therefore not about looking for ‘dangerous people’. It is about understanding how people, access, vulnerabilities and assets interact, and about establishing conditions that reduce the opportunity for harm to occur.
A security culture that builds trust
A good security culture is characterised by clear expectations, relevant knowledge and a low threshold for asking for help or reporting errors and concerns. Managers must follow up security in day-to-day work, and employees must understand both their responsibility and how they can help protect the organisation.
At the same time, the measures must be proportionate and safeguard privacy, the working environment and trust. Monitoring and control alone do not provide good security. Lasting results require clear leadership, sound processes, cross-disciplinary cooperation and a culture in which non-conformities and concerns are handled in a predictable and respectful manner.
We assist throughout the process
Sikkerhetsledelse can assist with mapping security culture and insider risk, establishing preventive programmes, training managers and employees, and providing confidential advice in the event of specific concerns or incidents.
What we deliver is tailored to the organisation's size, assets, risk profile and existing management system. The aim is to make security work practical, understandable and relevant, so that the organisation can prevent incidents, respond earlier and handle difficult situations in a safe and knowledge-based manner.
