Protective Security Strategy Services

Protection of an organisation’s assets, systems and people is one of the key responsibility of the organisation’s leadership. Like many other aspects of management, not having a clear and robust protective security strategy leads to reactive and expensive decisions resulting in financial and reputational losses. This state of affairs is simply not sustainable. 

Anchoram have capability in the strategic planning and advisory services which cover end to end project life cycle. Our associates are appropriately qualified with senior practitioners who can help public and private sector organisations with all aspects of protective security. This extends from development of policy and guidance to detailed implementation frameworks and processes. 

 It is imperative that a clear protective security strategy is based on a strong governance framework which fits within the organisation’s overall enterprise risk management structures. We start with undertaking a thorough analysis to identify protective security legislative and regulatory requirements ranging from government policies to provisions in other specific legislative instruments relevant to your organisation. Our services in this area cover a range of activities, which include:

• Clarification of organisation’s security objectives based on a holistic and specialised threat and risk analysis. 
• Identification of the organisation’s assets requiring protection.
• Development of a comprehensive protective security management framework including roles and responsibilities and policy and procedural frameworks.
• Assessing the effectiveness of organisation’s security compliance management systems – both from the design and operating effectiveness point of view. 
• Organisational security culture and maturity assessments.
• Assessment of organisation’s security monitoring and reporting systems.
• Executive training and mentoring.

In our view, legal and regulatory compliance, is however just a start. World class organisations go beyond a basic conformance approach to understand their exposure to risk. This enables an intelligent risk management approach through protection, monitoring and resilience measures.
