Frequently asked questions

What are common mistakes when performing a security risk assessment?

A few frequent mistakes include failing to involve the right stakeholders, overlooking non-physical risks like social engineering, skipping periodic reviews, or not acting on findings. Effective assessments require regular updates, input from various departments, and clear follow-up to address identified issues.

What physical threats should a security risk assessment address?

Key physical threats include unauthorized access, theft, workplace violence, sabotage, vandalism, and environmental risks like fire or flooding. The assessment should also consider gaps in lighting, surveillance coverage, and how easily outsiders could enter sensitive areas.

How can you measure the effectiveness of security risk assessments?

Look at incident trends, audit results, and feedback from staff to see if risks are being properly managed and improvements are implemented. A drop in security incidents and positive audit findings indicate your assessments are making a real difference for your business.

What evidence should you keep after completing a security risk assessment?

It’s important to document findings, recommended actions, dates, and those responsible for follow-up. Keep records of any changes made, such as upgraded locks or new procedures, as these may be requested in future audits or inspections.
