Security Manager - protect people, property, and processesYou are tasked with the protection of humans as well as tangible and intangible assets – where in the world do you begin? Protection of assets goes well beyond guards, gates and guns. Cameras, and access control only solves part of the problem. These systems are primarily reactive; whereas being proactive is the approach of the modern Security Manager.
Risk Assessment – Building a security plan based on riskThe first step to a successful security plan begins with a site survey or a quantifiable assessment that determines risk based upon threat/vulnerability consequence that can be integrated into your organization's enterprise risk management strategy. Mitigation planning and security policies will be derived from the results you discover during the assessment. Incident Management – Track, investigate, and report on security incidentsOnce you have a security strategy, incident management comes into play – how do you manage your incidents, investigations, and guard tour? Incident management software allows you to maintain and search records on all incidents. It also allows for fast and robust reporting so you can share statistics with your peers and executive management. Facility Management – Security management as it relates to facilitiesFacility management and security management often crosses boundaries within an organization. Keeping in mind that the role of security is protection of people, property, and processes, how do you manage your key control, package tracking, parking control, visitor registration, contractors, lost and found, etc., etc., Modular software allows you to choose the solution that is perfect for your organization by only adding the functionality that you need. Key Management – Secure key drop boxes and key cabinets that are software enabledIf they get the keys they get the asset. Although corporations are working towards fully access control enabled buildings, old fashioned keys will always be around – older offices, fleets, cabinets – you can think of many keys that require securing within your facility. You may even want to lock up your access cards. An access control integrated key cabinet with audit logging is the perfect contemporary solution for an old problem. Security Training and Awareness – Educate employees about the corporate security policyYou need to educate all employees as to your security policy. Initiating a mass training program is a daunting task… class scheduling, exams, issuing certificates. One way to reduce the administrative burden and challenges that come with building a training program is by using a web-based solution. Choose one that allows you to include photos, videos, audio, and materials you may have already created such as PowerPoint presentations. > Check out FutureShield physical / IT security convergence visionary products |
