At NSI Global, we understand the importance of having a comprehensive security program that goes beyond just traditional security controls such as camera placement and access control. A strong security posture requires a proactive approach that includes security design, development, and implementation, as well as espionage countermeasures to protect against unauthorised access and data breaches.
One of the key components of a proactive security program is an effective security master plan (SMP). An effective SMP is a living document that outlines an organisation’s security philosophy, strategies, and goals. It also identifies the security controls and processes that are needed to protect sensitive information and prevent data breaches.
Because NSI Global also conducts counterintelligence and TSCM work, a master plan covers espionage and technical-surveillance exposure alongside physical and information protection — the areas most security plans leave out.
A well-designed SMP enables an organisation to identify and prioritise potential risks and vulnerabilities, and to implement risk mitigation measures that can be adapted as the threat environment changes. This helps to reduce the likelihood of incidents and minimises the impact of any security breaches that may occur. Risk identification and treatment follow ISO 31000.
NSI Global’s Risk Advisory Unit has the expertise to assist your organisation in developing a robust SMP. We work with your team, department heads, contractors and C-suite so the plan aligns with your business objectives, then review progress at each stage of implementation.
