Clever Security, CLEVER BUSINESS

Terrorists and other criminals are constantly probing the cyber and physical defences of businesses, testing the robustness of the security measures and the alertness and resolve of the people. These are real risks ye  the response is often questionable. Businesses adopt security measures that provide uncertain levels of protection and place a drag on business opportunities in return for what seems an unfathomably big budget.

Underlying the unease about the security measures and budget is the ill-informed security culture of 

“It will never happen here….”.

If only there was a better way….
If only there was a way to understand the magnitude of the security risks, what security measures were appropriate, and what the security budget should actually be.
If only there was a way to coordinate physical, cyber and personnel security.
If only there was a way to align security to business goals, enabling progress rather than restricting it.
If only there was a way to assure the business that it was adequately protected and there would be no unwelcome surprises.

….There is, and it’s easier than the “carry on as you are” option
Clever Security, Clever Business reveals the secrets for blending agile security with informed business management to deploy security where and when it’s needed. It shows how a Security Management System – a SeMS – can equip security and business managers with the tools to keep security in proportion with the right budget for the right security measures.

Properly executed, a SeMS is an enabler of business success, opening doors to new business opportunities by providing the certainty needed to make confident business decisions – and doing so cost-efficiently.
But you can’t buy a SeMS off the shelf that will support the goals and harness the idiosyncrasies of your business, you have to grow one organically. Based on the experience of successful SeMS projects, Clever Security, Clever Business shows you how to build a practical corporate security management solution and develop healthy security behaviours using proven business processes and methods.
