The Security Risk Management Aide Memoire (SRMA) is the bible of security risk management. A security assessment is part of an integrated security program. This involves designing a comprehensive security plan (including an operations manual, policies and procedures, and risk assessment), executing it, monitoring it, and maintaining it.
Don’t be afraid to ask for assistance from a professional security assessment consultant. These consultants can help you with everything from implementing an IT-based security plan to identifying high-risk areas. They can provide information on the best solutions to your business problems, and they can recommend solutions and take the guesswork out of your security issues. Assessments should provide a ‘blueprint’ of what needs to be done to implement your security policy. This blueprint should include objectives, risks, and a timeline to achieve those objectives so as to get the desired result in optimal time.
