Strategic Security Effective and timely management of any risk, especially those to corporate reputation and physical assets,

is important. Nevertheless, organizations too often consider security risks a low-level compliance problem which can be managed reactively. In many cases these are not simply operational or compliance issues, but strategic problems with the potential to impact the core mission and integrity of the enterprise; and the financial value of the business or investment project. At Monitor Quest, we work with clients who recognize that security and integrity issues can be critical determinants of their ability to succeed and therefore require strategic and proactive management. Security Audits Monitor Quests Threat Assessments can be focussed on individuals, specific sites and facilities or businesses, including major facilities, wide area projects including Critical National Infrastructure (CNI), sports facilities, airports and ports. We assist individuals and companies understand their vulnerabilities and support the decision making process when committing to security investment. We support our conclusions through the development of threat scenarios and table top consequence mitigation exercises. We work closely with our clients, and we prepare a security strategy plan based on incorporating methodologies to validate progress as part of a through project life management planning process. Event Management Corporate events are a critical feature of any organisations marketing profile. It is important that the threats are identified early and managed out in a coherent manner conducive with the business profile. Monitor Quest focuses on real risk and uses the appropriate layers of security to mitigate the potential of unforeseen consequences. We believe any event requires a consolidated and integrated security plan that incorporates the range of potential risks, not just the provision of security but health and safety, natural or man-made hazards and political risks. Projects The context of political risk relating to global security threats is an ever changing dimension that all organisations need to be fully aware of. Yet historically security has been the afterthought to any major construction project and retrofitting security measures to mitigate emerging threats can be a very costly and unsightly overhead. Monitor Quest has a range of qualified security experts who can advise on the security planning concepts at the architectural planning stage and assist in the costing profile and the development of operational requirements for physical, blast risk mitigation, and technical security measures. Proactive security design is a cost saver and can be a life saver.
