All too often, security, risk and security risk practitioners, professionals, governments and organisations cling to long outdated security management and risk management practices, ideology, cultures and even 'standards'. HB 167:2006 Security Risk Mangement stands out as just one such example, which refuses to die and remains the stalwart terms of reference to security 'purists' and the unaware alike. As a result, just like generations before, this 'blunt old axe' (read: blunt instrument) continues to be laboured and applied, over and over again, despite the obsolete nature of the content, instructions and positioning of the document, just like a beloved, well meaning grandparent might insist on using, because 'it was the tool of his time'. While parts may seemingly remain useful or valuable, for the most part, the tool and concept(s) are long past retirement. However, even today (2023), you will find government departments, standards, tenders and instructions, insisting on keeping this relic alive, and subscribing to this long outdated terms of reference.
