Proven set of best practices for security risk assessment and
management, explained in plain English
This guidebook sets forth a systematic, proven set of best
practices for security risk assessment and management of buildings
and their supporting infrastructures. These practices are all
designed to optimize the security of workplace environments for
occupants and to protect the interests of owners and other
stakeholders. The methods set forth by the authors stem from their
research at Sandia National Laboratories and their practical
experience working with both government and private facilities.
Following the authors' step-by-step methodology for performing a
complete risk assessment, you learn to: Identify regional and
site-specific threats that are likely and credible
Evaluate the consequences of these threats, including loss of life
and property, economic impact, as well as damage to symbolic value
and public confidence
Assess the effectiveness of physical and cyber security systems and
determine site-specific vulnerabilities in the security
system
The authors further provide you with the analytical tools needed
to determine whether to accept a calculated estimate of risk or to
reduce the estimated risk to a level that meets your particular
security needs. You then learn to implement a risk-reduction
program through proven methods to upgrade security to protect
against a malicious act and/or mitigate the consequences of the
act.
This comprehensive risk assessment and management approach has
been used by various organizations, including the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Bonneville Power
Administration, and numerous private corporations, to assess and
manage security risk at their national infrastructure facilities.
With its plain-English presentation coupled with step-by-step
procedures, flowcharts, worksheets, and checklists, you can easily
implement the same proven approach and methods for your
organization or clients. Additional forms and resources are
