© Plan Understanding The Risks Risk Assessment - identifying and analysing the threats that exist, evaluating our vulnerability to them, and then determining the extent of the risks in a particular environment Assessing risk is an essential and continuous process that enables us to take informed decisions about:  the level of risk we are exposed to – when is it too dangerous?  which security measures and procedures to adopt

© Plan Strategic Approach Security Strategies - depending on the context, it is often necessary use a range of strategies to tackle the risks that arise in the working environment  Acceptance - developing and nurturing acceptance by all actors for our presence and programmes  Protection - organisational mechanisms, procedures and equipment to reduce our vulnerability  Deterrence - containing or deterring threats with a counter- threat

© Plan Security Planning All country programmes must develop Local Security Plans and keep them regularly updated Local Security Plans should include: Standard operating procedures (SOPs) to reduce the likelihood of particular threats occurring to staff Contingency measures or plans to reduce the impact of threats if they do occur

© Plan Post Incident Response Security management must also continue after an incident has occurred. Incidents should be fully reported, investigated, analysed and appropriate support provided to those affected Post incident investigation and analysis may expose gaps in security measures or procedures, or may bring clarity and understanding to the security situation which should lead to a review the different components in the security management process

© Plan Cross Cutting Issues There are a number of additional factors that will influence the management of security at each stage in this process: Plan’s Organisational Policies Security Competency Other Programs Global & Country Image Interagency Cooperation HR Policies Personnel Competencies Training & Experience
