Consulting Experience

Addressing the Security Risk

Realising the degree of Risk that a business is under, provides the bedrock on which Security is founded. Establishing the level of security risk is a systematic process and one in which Aidan works with clients to:

|| - Understand their business objectives, the critical dependencies they have in achieving those objectives and the degree of risk they are prepared to accept.

|| - Establish who or what poses a threat to those critical dependencies, how the threat might present itself, its intent and capabilities.

|| - Review either existing or proposed protective security measures to provide objectivity on the ability of any threat to overcome those measures.

|| - Realise the impacts that could be made to the business and their ability to achieve their objectives if compromise took place.

It is from understanding what those impacts are that Aidan assists clients in making decisions on how the Risk could be mitigated, security set at the right level and practices established to ensure changes are reflected in the risk profile.

Managing Risk

Through the course of his work Aidan assists clients to manage their risk and reduce the level of uncertainty there might be through specific services:

Critical Infrastructure Protection ~ Business operations dependent on critical elements of infrastructure, whether that is key buildings, facilities or data centres. Using his experience Aidan brings understanding on how security measures are established, the effect those measures can have in meeting perceived threats, undertakes security reviews and presents detailed reports on both existing and proposed critical infrastructure security risk.

Critical 3rd Party Suppliers ~ Should it be their integration into business operations, the uniqueness of the product they offer or the services they provide, some 3rd party suppliers are critical to business success. To understand the risk these suppliers bring to a business, Aidan reviews the degree of threat they are under, how that projects onto their clients and the effectiveness of the protective measures they employ.

Security Audits ~ By their nature Security Audits are binary in nature but they are essential in ensuring compliance. Aidan not only undertakes Audits but extracts data to help provide a view of the security culture within a business.

Corporate Governance Solutions ~ Security rarely fails because of the equipment installed or the instructions promulgated. Failure tends to be through complacency, remoteness or ignorance. Establishing an effective governance regime focussed on security solutions, reduces the possibility of failure and increases the control that those responsible for security have. Aidan works with clients to introduce processes that allows governance to be established and long term effectiveness maintained.

Tiger Kidnapping ~ Dealing with Tiger Kidnapping is never easy and preparation is key. Aidan brings practical knowledge of dealing with Tiger Kidnapping by having been involved, from a bank's perspective in several. From establishing group and regional policies, how incidents are dealt with and dealing with post incident issues, Aidan brings hard won experience.
