Calculation risk factor
probability =67/100 100/1=67%
impact = 46%
risk factor = 46% + 67= 133/2 =56,5% Risk factor is 0.565
Step 5 security survey
questions recommendations
1.Did the NCC had their own security No- if the company has its own security
officer? officer will be better because the
security will the patrolling the building at
all time.
2. Does the company have cameras on No- having CCTV helps at all cost
the building? because it serve you evidence when
you in need.
3. Avoid information that thieves can Security questions should avoid
discover information that can fall into wrong hand
too easily.
4. Who keep the office keys? It very important to have one or two
loyal people to keep the office key to
avoid complications at work.
5. How safe is the working Having a safe working environment
environment? makes people feel safe and happy at all
time.
6. Does the company have SLA? I recommend to all company to have
SLA to avoid unnecessary legal actions.
Security survey sheet it very important to have because you will be able to see the
loopholes for the company and fix it on time to avoid trouble and unnecessary legal
action
Step 6 security risk control measures
Making your property harder for an offender to access so easily firstly, ensuring that
potential target is out of view. There are four major prevention strategies: law
enforcement and developmental, community and situational prevention. Access
control must be strong upgrading the locks on your doors, windows, sheds and
outbuilding. Improving surveillance around homes, business or public places to deter
criminals. Consider adding CCTV to a commercial site or public place, establishing a
neighbourhood watch scheme in your street. Introducing a rule that last person
entering/ leaving should lock the door and remove the key. Upgrading security to
delay an offender, meaning they have to spend more time to gain access.
These principles can assist you in reducing the opportunity for crime to occur at your
workplace. Run security check on staff, but the most important security measures to
have in the company is the SLA that will save you time to attend the legal action
someone will take the fall for you.
Step 7 service level agreement
service level agreement is a written contract between a company and the client.
These includes operational requirements and limitation of authority. The service level
agreement often completed and signed only after the needs of the client have been
established. The importance of having SLA will save you time for unnecessary legal
action. If the NCC has the service level agreement Ms Ngwenya wouldn’t be
outraged by the loss, also this issue of not having CCTV really put them to cost. I
think now it due time for the Top management to go back on the drawing board to
draft a contract for the company security measures.
The professional security practitioner must ask for an SLA before introducing a
recommended security measure.
Step 10 implementation and evaluation of security measures
Not having security measure can cause challenges for the company that can lead
the company to unnecessary loss. I highly recommend every company to have
security measures. It is extremely important to have a signed SLA. For example,
NCC had been no SLA in place before the security measures were taken over by the
security practitioner. If a signed, agreed-to SLA had been in place when the system
was handed over, the confusion would have been avoided. Therefore, the security
practitioner must for SLA before introducing security measures for the company. it
would also serve the purpose of informing top management of the kind of agreement
to be implemented between the security practitioner and the providers of the security
measures everything depends on the nature of the security measure to be upgraded,
Step 11 maintenance and upgrade
Olckers added step 11 in the security risk management model because his research
proved that very often homeowners neglect to install proper security measures or
had system that were substandard or used incorrectly. Many house owners only
installed or upgraded their security system after the burglary has come to existence.
That means the security upgrade was done only after a security breach. He also
discovered that only few house owners that had proper risk assessment done on
their security system on their premises to check whether the system in place were
sufficient to meet their risk profiles.
Olcker recommended that integrated security systems firstly need to be constantly
checked and maintained and, secondly, they need to be reviewed, regularly
evaluated for effectiveness and upgraded accordingly if the risk profile has changed
or the risk has increased.
