DEFENCE IN DEPTH

By viewing security provision as a series oflayers, risks can be mitigated and vulnerabilitiescountered. Whether you are considering a newconstruction or managing an existing buildingportfolio, Secured by Design (SBD) or CrimePrevention Through Environmental Design(CPTED) principles can be applied delivering‘Defence in Depth’.

Underneath the ‘5 Layers of Security’ there willpotentially be many sub-layers, eachinterconnected and designed to perform aparticular function. It is the combination andintegration of appropriate measures that willensure security objectives can be met.

METHODOLOGY

CornerStone has developed a comprehensive,process driven approach that establishes thegeneric and specific Threats and Risks faced bya particular enterprise. Only once fullyconsidered, can the appropriatecountermeasures be selected and developed tomitigate or eradicate the perceived hazard.

This can be undertaken promptly and covertlyon a site specific basis or across a globalenterprise.

By fully understanding the corporate securityaspirations compared with what has beenachieved at a given point in time, permits theright decisions to be made in pursuit ofachieving your Security goals.

TAKING SECURITY SERIOUSLY

Is your corporate security under continualreview? Does your strategic business planinclude Security? Do you measure securityperformance and Return On Investment?

In todays global business world, continuing toperform activities and use systems andstrategies that were introduced for a past era,really is, no longer an option.

Beneath the LayersLAYER 1 – INTELLECTUAL

The Intellectual Layer can be very broad and cover a large range of topics. It will often include theinformation that strategic and operational decisions are based upon. We view the Intellectual Layer as the‘first line of defence’. Areas covered may include:

LAYER 2 – ENVIRONMENTAL

The Environment is the area around the site – the Street, District, City or even Country. It considers manyfactors that may include:

• Perimeter Intruder Detection (PIDS)

• Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM)

• Defensive Landscaping

• Signage

LAYER 3 – PERIMETER

The perimeter is the area between the site boundary and the Buildings within it. It includes walls andfences of the boundary as well as drop-off areas, gardens, public spaces and could include car parks andloading bays. Boundaries don’t always have fences, gates or walls. There can be trenches, securedplanters or water features and can even be unmarked. The following techniques may be considered:

• Entrance Lobby

• Staff and Visitor Entrances

• Power sub-stations

• Boiler rooms

• Blast & Ballistic Protection

• Target Hardening

• Cooling plant

LAYER 4 – SHELL

The shell is the main fabric of the building, including the walls, windows, doors, skylights and roof. It willalso include external storage areas, garages etc. and special attention should be given to the following:

Security Management – This refers to both thehigh level strategy, policy and procedures inaddition to the Management Team and Personnelwith particular security duties.

Procedures should be in place to deal with as manycategories of Security incident as possible anddrills should be undertaken to both test andreinforce actions.

Careful consideration should also be given to boththe location of the Incident Management Teamduring a security incident as well as the securestorage of all security data, including all SecurityPersonnel rosters, alarms, fault logs, CCTV imagesand Access Control records.

Essential Services – These can be defined asthose being required to manage a security incidentand may therefore include:

• Power• Lighting• Communication Networks• CCTV• Remote Lock-down• Secure Radio

Specific procedures and Assignment Instructionsshould be developed to ensure all essential servicesare constantly available.

Each site requires careful analysis to establish itsEssential Services and live scenario testing shouldbe carried out to ensure its effectiveness andincrease staff awareness.

LAYER 5 – CORE

We define Core Security as both essential services that would be needed in the event of a critical incidentas well as the Security Management infrastructure itself.

The two distinct areas of Core Security are:

Security is a dynamic, complex subject and atCornerStone we don’t believe in compromise.

Risks and Threats change and without the ability to continually address the issues of theday, any security initiative will soon become out-dated and irrelevant.

To guard against this potential, we endorse theimplementation of a process known asContinual Assessment and Improvement.

Having defined the overall objective (usually aspart of an Operational Requirement) we analyseongoing performance in that area.

Training programmes are then developed toensure a consistent implementation is achieved.These can be basic awareness or fully detailedlearning programmes that are aimed atparticular Security functions or personnel.

Key Performance Measures (KPM’s) are definedand Key Performance Indicators (KPI’S) arecontinually monitored, to ensure that thedesired Operational Requirement is beingacheived.

KPI’s are continually refined and staff are givenfeedback to ensure performance levels areenhanced wherever possible.

We know that change through an evolutionaryprocess is far more effective than continualrevolution; delivering improved Return onInvestment levels along with genuine clientsatisfaction.

At CornerStone we believe that Training,Learning and Personal Development areessential for an organisation to prosper. It helpsimprove quality, client satisfaction, productivity,morale, management succession, businessdevelopment and profitability.

To enable you to fully understand yourorganisations Training and Learningrequirements, CornerStone can help byconducting a detailed analysis of currentcompetencies and capabilities.Among the ways we’ll achieve this is to carryout a DIF Analysis. DIF stands for Difficulty,

Importance and Frequency. A DIF Analysis is asophisticated method of assessingperformance, prioritising training needs andplanning training, based on the threeperspectives:

• Difficulty• Importance• Frequency.

The system looks at tasks and activities as wellas skills, competencies and capabilities ratherthan looking at development from a personal,individual perspective.

Our Training and Learning Development programmessupport our Security Consultancy activities and allows us to

provide long term support to our clients.

Once core competency and specific job skillknowledge levels have been addressed webelieve one of the most effective ways todevelop people is to enable learning andpersonal development. This extends the rangeof improvement outside traditional securityskills and knowledge and creates an exciting,liberating and motivational opportunity - forstaff and employers.

Organisations face growing pressure to changethese days - to facilitate and encourage whole-person development not only delivers betterlong term results but improves staff satisfactionand retention rates.
