Security Management System
A comprehensive and living system for security management
A management system should be more than documentation. It should be anchored with management, integrated into corporate governance and give clear answers as to what is to be protected, which requirements apply, who is responsible and how the state of security is followed up.
We combine expertise in governance, risk, emergency preparedness, personnel, information, physical security and suppliers. The result is a practical structure with governing documents, clear roles, fixed activities and control points that are tailored to the organisation's size, maturity and risk picture.
Establishment and further development may include
- mapping of internal and external requirements, existing practice, documentation and maturity
- identification of assets, critical functions, deliverables, dependencies, threats and vulnerabilities
- preparation or revision of the security policy, security objectives, principles and risk acceptance criteria
- establishment of a security organisation with clear roles, responsibility, authority and deputising arrangements
- design of governing documents, procedures, instructions, checklists, registers and operational tools
- establishment of a risk register, action plan and processes for non-conformities, notification and incident management
- development of a governance calendar or annual cycle for risk assessments, training, exercises, controls, audits and reporting
- planning and delivery of competence development, implementation and support for managers and employees
- establishment of performance indicators, self-assessment and documentation that demonstrate compliance and effect
- preparation and conduct of the management review, with decisions on priorities, resources and improvement measures
What does the organisation receive?
The organisation receives a clear and usable management system that links management's objectives to practical implementation. The deliverable provides clear ownership, traceable follow-up and documented compliance. We can assist from gap analysis and establishment through to implementation, training, management review and continual improvement.
