There are many difficulties when it comes to managing security across multiple sites, particularly when those sites are spread across geographic regions. Some of the biggest management oversight challenges include:
-
ensuring and keeping an updated overview of the risk and security levels
-
establishing a way to compare the risk levels
-
having a uniform approach to deciding the level of security that is flexible, and doesn’t require a complex and time consuming assessment
-
dealing with information that is stored across multiple sources that is not always up-to-date and takes significant time to compile and use
These challenges can add significant time to processes, and prevent managers from pursuing more value-add activities.
To counter these challenges, it’s important to ensure your department has three key elements that can dramatically streamline your security management process:
-
Central data storage and management system that allows you to filter your data and look for specifics, compare business units or geographic regions.
-
Simple categorization guide to consider risk levels, standards & legislations, as well as customer requirements.
-
List of minimum requirements for physical security, policies, procedures and compliance.
