Does Security Add Value

Does Security Add Value

THE UK HAS JUST SEEN THE LAUNCH of a security wide campaign entitled 'Best value for Business'. It emerged from the work of the Security Research Initiative, a three year programme of study focussing on research to improve understanding of the security sector. A major plank of its work has been interviews with security professionals around the world, including Australia, about the ways in which security functions add value to organisations, and to explore reasons why it sometimes does not.

One of the most striking findings was that many security professionals did not believe that senior colleagues were up to the job of modern day security management. Senior members of the security sector were asked this question and the most anyone answered is 25% and most said much less. Moreover, some security professionals did not think that security did add value, and did not see preventing loss as a way of contributing to profit.

Many organisations did not collect any metrics to show they added value.Others however were keen to promote the case for security to be seen as a business enhancing service rather than mere asset protection.
