C4SEM Risk and Vulnerability Assessment - Organizational Mission Assurance

​

Security Vulnerability and Risk Assessments are an excellent way to evaluate existing security and emergency management programs. This a great first step to take before making security improvements at the facility or when trying to solve specific security or continuity of operations problems.
 
During an Assessment, all aspects of the security and emergency management programs are inspected, any weaknesses are identified, and suggestions for s improvements are made. In addition, opportunities where costs can be reduced or where security operations can be made more efficient are identified. In General, the context and risk assessment are the foundations of:
•    Protecting an organization’s assets including people, tangible assets of a physical nature, and intangible assets that are intellectual and abstract (such as company reputation)
•    Understanding the relative exposure of risk for current and planned activities

•    Complying with laws and regulations
•    Identifying reasonable control measures needed to treat risk and their associated benefits

  • (2) developing and testing the associated training programs.

 

Communications and Interoperability

• This area of C4SEM support focuses on identifying and disseminating easily adaptable communications procedures that meet the needs of all levels of security and the emergency management arena.

• Develop clear communications standards, guidelines, and procedures for first responders.

 

Attack Indicators

• Identifying potential attacks:

  • Based largely on the application of strategies, resources, and methods, derived from the information produced by standard international and domestic intelligence operations.

 

Indicators of Domestic Radicalization

Security and Emergency Management Strategies.

• Developing guidance for a comprehensive response strategy

• Identify strategies for conducting the war on terror, and.

• Identifying resources needs and deployment strategies.

 

Irregular Warfare Program Support
