Security Organisation and Interim Security Manager

We help organisations establish, staff and further develop a security organisation that gives management the necessary ability to govern and gives the organisation practical support in its day-to-day security work. We can contribute as interim security manager, chief security officer (CSO), security adviser, coordinator or professional support, whether as a permanent function, during a transitional period or for specific needs and projects.

Clear roles and operational delivery

The head of the organisation always retains overall responsibility for security. An interim security manager adds capacity, method and professional breadth, and makes management better able to direct, prioritise and follow up the security work.

We work strategically with the board and management, tactically with the management system and coordination, and operationally with day-to-day follow-up. Our advisers cover personnel, information, physical security, emergency preparedness, suppliers and projects, and work closely with HR, ICT, operations, the legal function and procurement.

The assistance may include

mapping of the organisation's assets, requirements, risk picture, maturity and need for professional security capacity
design of the security organisation, organisation chart, role descriptions, responsibility, authority, reporting lines and deputy arrangements
advice to the board, senior management and line managers on security objectives, risk tolerance, priorities, resources and decisions
establishment, implementation and ongoing administration of the management system, governing document, security policy, procedures and operational tools
coordination of risk and asset assessments, security risk analyses, action plans and follow-up of residual risk
preparation and implementation of a security plan, annual cycle, training programme, exercises, controls and audits
advice and coordination within personnel security, information security, physical security, emergency preparedness, continuity and supplier security
establishment of non-conformity and notification procedures, coordination of incident management and follow-up of corrective measures and lessons learned
follow-up of clearances, authorisations, access rights, security interviews and other security administration processes where relevant
setting of requirements and professional security support in procurements, contracts, projects, changes and supplier follow-up
secretariat and coordination support for the security forum, management meetings and the management review, including status reporting, KPIs and decision-making material
dialogue with customers, partners, contracting authorities, and supervisory and security authorities within an agreed mandate
temporary or long-term role cover, reinforcement of capacity, deputy function and support during restructuring, absence, projects or a heightened risk situation

What does the organisation receive?

The organisation receives an accessible and effective security function with a clear mandate, prioritised activities and regular management reporting. The scope can be scaled from a few hours of advice a month to an integrated security manager function. At the same time, Sikkerhetsledelse's team of specialists provides continuity, quality assurance and access to specialists, while the organisation retains ownership of the decisions.
