Designing and implementing plans to upgrade an organisation’s security arrangements to effectively combat acts of terrorism requires a different mind-set and different skills to those employed in implementing more traditional plans to counter acts of more traditional criminals.
Many organisations, both public and private, have not fully identified the threats they face, nor their vulnerabilities to those threats. Consequently they do not have effective, integrated security systems in place.
The use of the word ‘system’ in this context does not mean an access control system or a closed circuit TV system, but an overall integration of these and other security measures to produce a complex interaction of simple systems.
“No single security system is 100% effective in isolation and it is only through integration of different systems, that accurately reflect the threat, that synergy will be achieved and security enhanced”.
“In our Security and Risk Assessment work, we consistently find that elements of security are in place, but there is no overall security ‘system’ which is integrated. Among the elements that are in place, we find gaps and shortfalls”.
