Security Plan Development and Risk Assessment

Abstract

This chapter provides a method to develop and format safety and security plans, along with a process to develop a Risk Assessment Matrix that provides a prioritized order of an organization’s threats and vulnerabilities. There is also a discussion on a process to quantify the safety and security initiatives you may consider, based upon your organizational risk assessment, in order to better compare the costs of the project against the savings of the potential security improvement.
