STRATEGIC SECURITY OPERATIONS

Whether designing an ops guide for personal, event, or location security, a unique and fail-safe plan must be developed and implemented.

Developing security policies and procedures requires: 1) Conducting a complete risk assessment, 2) Defining clear objectives, and 3) Drafting enforceable rules.

Essential core steps include:

  • Identifying assets
  • Setting asset controls
  • Establishing an incident response
  • Hiring professional and well-trained security officers to provide enforcement best practices

Assessment and Planning

  • Risk outlines: Find potential threats and weak spots in your systems and facilities
  • Scope definition: Decide what data, hardware, clearance designations, and staff the rules cover
  • Legal check: Match rules and procedures to state and federal laws

Writing and Structure

  • High-level policy: State management goals and security expectations

  • Clear standards: Set exact benchmarks like password and encryption strength, special logins and codes

  • Actionable procedures: Write step-by-step guidelines for daily tasks and ensure they are posted and appropriately reflected in employment documents

Implementation and Review

  • Staff training: Provide training for employees on how to spot threats and follow rules/procedures

  • Access limits: Limit entry into buildings, offices, and vulnerable locations. Restrict data access/viewing based upon job function and duties. Maintain privacy controls

  • Regular updates: Review and revise documents and processes annually depending on type of business or industry
