Threats & Responsibilities

Protection Responsibilities

If you are in an area or sector that is regarded at elevated risk from terrorism, you should act by taking certain actions and putting in place counter-terrorism protective security measures.

Crowded Places risk assessment and plans now being one of those areas.

Effective Protective Security

The key to ensuring effective counter-terrorism protective security (CTPS) is to ensure that standard security measures are optimised to the extent possible.

Ensuring that staff are aware and trained is also key to the effective management of the safety & security function.

Security awareness should be part of organisational culture.

Security staff should be aware of the indicators of hostile reconnaissance, and should be trained in searching and IED recognition, and should know how to respond to an incident. Awareness training should extend to other contractors.

We can assist in facilitating this training by use of available information.

Risk and Vulnerability Analysis Specifically

You should sit down with your risk and security specialist and determine the conceivable scenarios that you might become a victim of. Our Model facilitates this. It will be grounded; there is a tendency to overstate the likelihood of a terrorist attack, and this is unhelpful.

Any analysis will be better if it is carried out with access to threat assessment information, such as what our security and survey model will produce.

Terrorism is not a single threat, we will analyse different scenarios such as person-borne suicide attack, active shooter, bio attack, use of corrosive materials such as acids and other methods etc.

Looking from the outside in. For example - what operational, security or vulnerability intelligence could an outsider glean from carrying out hostile reconnaissance of your facility? What is posted about your facility on the Internet? How cautious are your staff when taking telephone enquiries or dealing with face-to-face enquiries?

How accessible is your facility to outsiders? One of the factors that influences the terrorism risk analysis process is target accessibility. For example, has the insider threat being considered? What do you know about your contractors, including security contractors? Consider carrying out exercises to test alertness, detection capability and penetration vulnerability.

Particular attention will be given to areas accessible to the public, exits and entrances, corridors, stairs, halls, reception areas, elevators, washrooms and any areas such as restaurants and coffee machines where staff congregate.
