How we help » Managing Security Risk
Managing Security Risk
Assess, mitigate, safeguard, adapt, monitor, optimise
The Protective Security Requirements (PSR) sets out the Government’s expectations of agencies managing personnel, physical and information security. It provides the policy, protocols, guidance, tools and case studies to help agencies identify what they must do to protect their people, information and assets. The PSR enables agencies to develop protective security policies and procedures specific to their own risk environment and business context. By adhering to these requirements, organisations can maintain a robust security posture, mitigate potential risks, and enhance overall resilience.
Organisational security risks, capability and maturity reviews
Assess your organisation's approach to risk, identifying vulnerabilities, and evaluating its overall security capabilities and maturity levels. By regularly assessing and enhancing security measures, organisations can proactively address vulnerabilities, mitigate risks, and ensure the protection of their assets, people, and reputation. The benefits of conducting reviews include, risk identification and mitigation, enhanced security capability, continuous improvement and compliance, stakeholder confidence and trust, and operational efficiency.
Security improvement programme and projects
Design and implement programmes and projects to enhance protective security measures and address safety gaps. By investing in initiatives, you can strengthen your organisation's protective safety and security capabilities, mitigate risks, comply with PSR requirements, increase stakeholder confidence and trust and safeguard assets, people, and operations.
Protective security risk frameworks
Protective security risk frameworks are essential for implementing effective policies and practices to manage risks in agencies. By adopting these frameworks, agencies can enhance their ability to maintain continuity of service delivery, providing increased assurance to stakeholders. A comprehensive set of security policies and practices enables agencies to demonstrate to the Government and the public that they have appropriate and effective measures in place to protect New Zealand's people, information, and assets.
Moderation of PSR self-assessments
An independent review and evaluation of your self-assessment to ensure accuracy, consistency, and reliability of the results, leading to stronger security frameworks and better risk management. The benefits of a moderation include quality assurance, standardisation, identifying blind spots, enhanced confidence and credibility, and opportunities for continuous improvement.
Protective security strategies, roadmaps and improvement plans
These frameworks are designed to address the unique threats faced by different agencies based on their role, scale, and circumstances. Strategies encompass a comprehensive set of policies and practices that enable agencies to effectively mitigate risks, while roadmaps and improvement plans serve as to prioritise and plan their security enhancements. Together they promote a proactive and systematic approach to security management.
