The first crucial step should involve the careful consideration and comprehension of the risks confronting your organization. While assessing these risks, it is important to keep in mind that terrorist groups frequently modify their targets, motivations, and attack methods over time. Additionally, it is advisable to take into account any factors that could indirectly make your organization a target, such as its proximity to neighbouring organisations.
The Global Terrorism Database, media reporting of recent attacks and the National Threat Level are useful tools in understanding the threats facing your organisation.
After identifying the primary threats to your organisation, it is crucial to initiate a risk assessment and determine suitable measures to mitigate these risks. During this process, it is important to recognise that organisations can be held accountable for either their failure to recognise an existing threat or their failure to effectively manage the situation in the event of an attack.
Additionally, organisations under Protect Duty are required to have an incident response plan in place. This should detail not just how you and your staff would respond to an incident occurring inside your organisation, but also how you would respond to an incident outside or near to you.
When conducting your risk assessment and incident response plan there are likely to be gaps identified where new measures are required. This could include physical security measures such as;
Alternatively, less invasive technology could be implemented. For example, technology solutions that support the identification of potential threats, limit the opportunity for an attack and coordinate the response in the event of an attack.
In order to ensure comprehensive security, it is essential to train staff on conducting pre-event checks. This training should encompass verifying the proper functionality of all security measures, including CCTV, metal detectors, and emergency exits.
New World Norm has developed specific training, offering standardised and consistent action against terrorism for organisations. This training is accessible to all organisations, their staff, and the general public, serving as evidence of proactive protective measures in the event of an investigation.
Furthermore, when implementing new protective measures, such as technological solutions, it is crucial to provide staff with proper training on their usage. This training should be regularly revisited, at least annually, and made available to all new hires joining the organisation.
Once an event has occurred, it is crucial to engage in reflective analysis to extract valuable lessons. This process involves evaluating the effectiveness of current measures to identify successful aspects and areas that require improvement.
Additionally, it entails assessing the need for any new measures to bolster preparedness. At New World Norm we support your business event review to limit future risks to your people, customers and business. Contact us today for more information
