Project Security Resource
The resource is matched to the project's size, risk and complexity and works closely with the project management, the rest of the project organisation and relevant partners. The tasks may include planning and follow-up of the security work, risk assessments, control activities, documentation, reporting and handling of security-related issues.
The aim is to integrate security into day-to-day project delivery and contribute to reduced risk, good progress and safe and predictable delivery.
The project security coordinator (in Norwegian often abbreviated PSK) is a typical resource used in project security. The resource is responsible for planning, administering and coordinating the security work in major building, civil engineering or defence and emergency preparedness projects.
What does a project security coordinator do?
- Security coordination: Ensures that security measures are integrated into all phases of a project – from planning to completion.
- Preventive work: Works on continuous, preventive security to avoid accidents, breaches of security routines or unwanted incidents in building and construction areas.
- Classified projects: In sectors such as the Norwegian Armed Forces, the Norwegian Defence Estates Agency (Forsvarsbygg) and the Norwegian Intelligence Service, the role often involves handling information that requires protection or is classified, personnel security and physical protection of military or strategic facilities.
- Cooperation with the authorities: Works closely with relevant public authorities, contractors and project managers to maintain compliance with applicable regulations.
