“Following a Security Review or as
a standalone service, Penetration
Testing is fundamental to deliver
the full security picture of your
organisation.”
It is essential in ensuring that controls and
expenditure are fully appropriate to the risks
to which you are exposed.

global terrorist operations and a far greater
criminality threat both globally and in the
UK, Oakmeadian Risk Management has
developed a specialist department that
probes and tests an organisation’s security
profile from any physical or collateral threat.
Oakmeadian Risk Management employs its
team of highly trained ex-military planners
and analysts to assess the weakness of a
clients’ security strategy, operational plans
and existing protective security measures;
devising tactics to breach and defeat them,
in the same way that a criminal, rival or
opportunist might. After which the client
is advised on issues that may affect their
organisation’s business continuity or incident
management plan.

its staff from the highly regarded UK Elite

to conduct Penetration Tests of private
residences and from its links with the Elite
& Special Forces we are able to conduct
Penetrations of corporate installations and
buildings.
Security Survey & Reviews
Risk Management and well-written company
policies that exist side by side. Working
under the assumption that over 80% of
losses originate from the inside, we will
place heavy emphasis on internal as well
as external controls. Risk Management and
well-written company policies should exist
side by side, and should fully complement
each other. It is common sense to mandate
a minimum level of security, beneath which
your company must not fall.
Most major corporations now employ a
formal strategy for Risk Management and
Risk Assessment methodologies. They have
come to realize that there is a wide range of
benefits, (directly and indirectly) associated
with published and recorded written policies
that have been mandated throughout the
company.
Weighing Up The Costs vs. Benefits
Security measures should actually be
viewed as an investment in your company,
not merely as an expense. Because most
people cannot see how additional security
can directly generate income, it is often
necessary to justify Risk Management
in financial terms. Fortunately, this is not
difficult to do.
By providing a safer environment, you may
actually notice an increase in the number of
customers and repeat customers who come
to your property as well as a decrease in
employee turnover.
It is an established fact that customers and
employees are attracted to environments
where they feel safe.
6. Security Threat & Risk
Management
“The first step in any thorough
Risk Management strategy is Risk
Identification.”
Risk Identification
You will have to identify the areas in which
you are vulnerable before you can begin
to assess and ultimately manage those
risks that you’ve identified. Take a moment
to write down the risks your company is
currently facing, and then consider the
potential losses that could result.
Types of Risk
There are basically two types of risks:
controllable and uncontrollable.
Controllable risks are those that you can
do something about. These would include
physical security devices such as locks,
maintaining good lighting, maintaining safe
landscaping design, having regular security
and safety inspections, etc.
Uncontrollable risks might include anything
from unforeseeable criminal acts of third
parties to natural disasters (floods, storms,
etc.). It is difficult to prevent these from
happening, but you can at least mitigate
damage by preparing for such emergencies
or taking out insurance.
Risk Assessment
To calculate your risk, multiply the probability
of a foreseeable event by the impact of the
potential loss. Theoretically, this makes it
possible to prioritise foreseeable events in
the order of their risk.
Risk Management stems from your
decisions based upon that data. If not
properly assessed, that data can be
unreliable and/or inaccurate.
Threats – Examples might include natural
disasters, internal theft, or criminal acts of
third parties, to name a few. Threats are
present for every type of business.
Vulnerabilities – These are weaknesses
that make a business more prone to the
threat of a loss. Vulnerabilities may provide
the opportunity for an attack to have a more
severe or devastating impact.
For example, regarding criminal activity,
vulnerability could be found in the absence
of sufficient security lighting or the absence
of an adequate security system.
Controls – These are countermeasures
taken to overcome the threats and
vulnerabilities. They are:
Risk Avoidance – Deterrent Controls are
used to completely avoid the likelihood of
certain deliberate attacks.
Risk Reduction – Detective Controls
discover the risk of deliberate attacks and
then initiate preventative or corrective
controls to reduce the likelihood of these
attacks occurring.
Risk Spreading – Corrective Controls serve
to mitigate the impact of an expected attack.
Risk Transference – Preventative Controls
are used to protect vulnerabilities and make
an attack unsuccessful or greatly reduce its
impact.
7. Of course, there is a fifth type of approach
to Risk Management. It is called Risk
Acceptance.
Here, you simply “take your chances” that
nothing will happen, and you accept your
risks by making little or no effort to control or
eliminate them.
Frankly, that isn’t using good business
sense. In our litigious society, wilful
negligence in this regard can certainly lead
to catastrophic consequences.
The Chief Risk Factor
It’s a fact that your competition has a better
chance of beating you if you are weaker in
one or a number of areas.
Therefore, you may actually be the Chief
Risk Factor in your business. “Chief”
because it all starts (and ends) with you.
This is true if you are running a large
corporation or managing a small business.
Safety and security is like water; It always
runs downhill.
From the boardroom to the lunchroom and
every room in between, good safety and
security practices must be adopted by the
Chief Executive Officer and supported by the
Chief Financial Officer.
It is important to realize that overstated
probability of risks may lead you to
unnecessary expenditures that are not
properly targeted or directly related to your
potential impacts, threats, and existing
vulnerabilities.
That may leave you susceptible to litigation.
Likewise, an understated probability of risk
may lead to complacency, which could leave
you even more susceptible to litigation.
