Crisis Management

"#Risk is part of everything we do. We all manage risk – often without realising it – every day. We live in an ever-changing world and the pace of change is increasing. This carries with it uncertainty and that uncertainty brings new opportunities and risks. How we manage those has never been more important in helping us meet our objectives, improve service delivery, achieve value for money and reduce unwelcome surprises. We believe in the value of effectively managing risk: it informs business decisions; enables a more effective use of precious resources; enhances strategic and business planning; and strengthens contingency planning." "None of this is possible without a supportive risk culture. A positive risk culture, one which encourages openness and discusses real business issues in a realistic manner, is absolutely essential to the effective management of risk. Everyone, from the board down, has a clear role to play in establishing and maintaining that risk culture.

"Crime is possibly the worst primer for action when it comes to #security and #riskmanagement. Because what constitutes crime or is reported as crime is far from real-world realities and the occurrence of criminal activity (including harm, loss and violence) that are reported and captured by either law enforcement or the justice system. In other words, crime as a number or reported event is an exceptionally incomplete and inaccurate lag indicator for the consideration of security and risk management measures, inclusive of protection of assets. Remembering that security and risk management is a pre-emptive, preventative pursuit of protection of assets, not reactionary, which remains the dominant function of law enforcement. As a result, over reliance or exclusive measurement of crime as a metric for security and risk management action exposes people, information, processes, resources and profits to real-world threats, harms, danger, harm and risk.

"Elements of #cybersecurity benchmarking offer businesses, boards and government entities artificial assurance and confidence by means of simplistic scales of measurement when it comes to risk, resilience, protection and the current efficacy of what could be categorised as security management." "This benchmarking and reporting fallacy is most concerning in environments, contexts and government networks where even the most basic of cybersecurity or cyber resilience tactics and strategies are not universally applied or remain a varying, disparate levels of completeness or consistency... exposing the entire network to elevated risk, which is not declared or captured in maturity, resilience or self-assessment declarations."

"To be successful at managing #security #risks, an agency needs to know what the threats are, what resources need protecting and how they will be protected." "Security planning is using sound risk management processes to design, implement, monitor and review an agency’s protective security arrangements to ensure efficient and effective delivery of government services. All security planning should be based upon achieving a cycle of continuous improvement.

"Implement physical security measures that minimise the risk of harm or compromise to people, information and physical assets " "'Agencies have a responsibility to ensure their people, information, and assets (resources) are protected from harm, including compromise. This policy ensures agencies take the necessary steps to minimise physical security risks to an agency’s resources, while also ensuring agencies incorporate protective security requirements into the planning, selection, design, and modification of their facilities." "Physical assets are tangible items that are valuable to the agency and require protection to ensure their operability and accessibility, while preventing unauthorised access, use or removal.

#Security #RiskManagement "This policy describes how an agency’s accountable authority can establish effective security governance to protect their agency’s people, information and assets. An effective governance structure ensures employees with the appropriate knowledge and position are empowered and resourced to maintain agency security." "Overall #securityriskmanagement responsibility rests with the accountable authority. This means the accountable authority must: a. determine the agency’s tolerance for security risks b. apply a risk-based approach to manage the agency’s security risks c. consider any implications risk management decisions have on the security or operations of other agencies and share information where appropriate. Determining agency risks mean identifying, assessing and prioritising risks to people, information and assets and should result in the effective risk-based application of mitigations or protections that minimise, monitor and control the likelihood and consequences of risks." #security #securityriskmanagement #securitymanagement #securityrisks #enterprisesecurity #cybersecurity #physicalsecurity #informationsecurity #digitalsecurity #securityoperations #enterprisesecurityriskmanagement #securityassessment #intelligence #threatlintelligence #risk #riskmanagement #safety #safetyfirst #safetymanagement #safetyassessment #safetyrisks #safetyculture #safetyanalysis #personalsafety #workplacesafety #healthandsafety #hazard #danger #peril #threat #PPE #protectivesafety #workplacesafety #risk #risks #enterpriserisk #enterprisesecurityriskmanagement #intelligence #threatlintelligence #riskmanagement #riskanalysis #riskassessment #riskmanagementframework #operationalriskmanagement #projectriskmanagement #projectrisk #operationalresilience #resilience #operationalrisk #riskintelligence #governance #crisis #crisismanagement #complexity #chaos #crisisleadership #crisisplan #crisismanagementplan #stress #governance #decisionmaking #riskmanagement #riskinformed #securitymanagement #securityriskmanagement #resilience #humanfactors #emergency #disaster #emergencyresponse #travelsecurity #travelsafety #travel #businesstravel #tourism #travelrisks #travelriskmanagement

"These National Resilience Standards for LRFs (‘the standards’) are intended to establish a consistent and progressive means for LRFs and their constituent local responder organisations to self-assure their capabilities and overall level of readiness, and to guide continuous improvement against mandatory requirements, good and leading practice. " "How to achieve good practice in this area. Good practice is that which meets legal requirements and expectations in a way that is thorough, consistent with established guidance and effective in the local operating context. Good practice does not necessarily involve substantial innovation, but it will demonstrate collective thought and appropriate flexibility in how capabilities are developed and validated in pursuit of defined outcomes. In these standards the characteristics of good practice are presented as a set of normative statements (i.e. the LRF should have…) that elaborate how the various dimensions of the capability will contribute to the outcome. " "How to achieve leading practice in this area. Leading practice is that which demonstrates innovation and enables the achievement of results superior to those achieved by other means, or in a manner that achieves the same effect with greater efficiency, but without compromising coherence and interoperability with multi- agency partners. The characteristics of leading practice appear as a set of indicative statements (e.g. the LRF may consider…) that elaborate how the various dimensions of the capability will contribute to the outcome.

#Security #RiskManagement "Vulnerability is routinely an inadequately considered or evaluated facet of #risk analysis, security risk management, business continuity and resilience. That is, detailed, systematic and transparent scales for evaluating individual and cumulative threat factors remain opaque and superficial, resulting in non-specific or generic scales of vulnerability, undermining the best intentions of any risk management strategy. In other words, risk ratings and values remain invalid and unreliable if both threat and vulnerability are not considered in detail and vary according to new information, behaviours and asset(s) exposure. A dynamic, contextual and scalable approach to considering vulnerability is required. Risk science academics and researchers have recently emphasised the requirement and analysed the inherent weaknesses in contemporary risk management approaches. Especially when considering novel, emergent and systemic risk(s). "...a single vulnerability classification process can evaluate vulnerabilities for a collection of similar behaving risk events, thereby promoting overall efficiencies in the risk management process." (Thekdi & Aven, 2021) "Without understanding and measuring of vulnerability, resilience and continuity can not be assured and wastage is all but inevitable."
