STRATEGIC SECURITY
Corporate security functions are generally considered cost centres. However, by playing a strategic role, the security function can be a profit multiplier, a reputational enhancer and a business enabler.
Organisations today face a multitude of security challenges, some impacted by socio-economic and geopolitical shifts, others by natural disasters or enterprise-based security risks. These are dynamic, ever-changing and have the potential to impact adversely. Therefore, effective and commensurate security should be business-integrated.
Security professionals should not take their lead from terrorists, criminals or hackers – business imperatives should drive security, creating adaptive capacity and resilience within your business rather than protecting it from threats.
KRG’s approach to Strategic Security is based on 2 core areas:
Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP)
Critical infrastructure is made up of complex, networked generation, transmission, distribution and communication technologies. National and economic resilience can be impacted by physical attacks, sabotage or natural disasters. CIP is fundamental to ongoing economic and business stability — it remains a growing priority for governments and private businesses.
KRG’s services include the following elements:
- Establishing strategic and critical infrastructure security defences
- Establishing standards and best practices for the protection of critical infrastructure and technology assets
- CIP maturity assessments, audits and testing defence capabilities
- Integrate CIP protocols into enterprise-wide risk management and Business Continuity Management frameworks
Business Integrated Security
KRG emphasises that professional and modern security functions should be proactive and preventative in nature, and not exasperate avoidable security risk by being reactive or disconnected from an organisation’s activities. A key foundation for security is the ability of responsible security professionals to gain profound understanding of the environment in which they operate, understand the impact on business, represent mitigating solutions and “predictively” provide near- and long-term assessments. Without this ability, security functions will merely be reactive rather than preventative.
