Security Penetration Testing

“Following a Security Review or as a standalone service, Penetration Testing is fundamental to deliver the full security picture of your organisation.”

It is essential in ensuring that controls and expenditure are fully appropriate to the risks to which you are exposed.

In response to the increased tempo of global terrorist operations and a far greater criminality threat both globally and in the UK, Oakmeadian Risk Management has developed a specialist department that probes and tests an organisation’s security profile from any physical or collateral threat.

Oakmeadian Risk Management employs its team of highly trained ex-military planners and analysts to assess the weakness of a clients’ security strategy, operational plans and existing protective security measures; devising tactics to breach and defeat them, in the same way that a criminal, rival or opportunist might. After which the client is advised on issues that may affect their organisation’s business continuity or incident management plan.

Oakmeadian Risk Management hand-picks its staff from the highly regarded UK Elite & Special Forces and Military Intelligence Units, all of whom have expert knowledge

and experience in breaching security systems, often in hostile environments.Oakmeadian Risk Management has the capabilities from its Military background to conduct Penetration Tests of private residences and from its links with the Elite & Special Forces we are able to conduct Penetrations of corporate installations and buildings.

Security Survey & ReviewsRisk Management and well-written company policies that exist side by side. Working under the assumption that over 80% of losses originate from the inside, we will place heavy emphasis on internal as well as external controls. Risk Management and well-written company policies should exist side by side, and should fully complement each other. It is common sense to mandate a minimum level of security, beneath which your company must not fall.

Most major corporations now employ a formal strategy for Risk Management and Risk Assessment methodologies. They have come to realize that there is a wide range of benefits, (directly and indirectly) associated with published and recorded written policies that have been mandated throughout the company.

Weighing Up The Costs vs. BenefitsSecurity measures should actually be viewed as an investment in your company, not merely as an expense. Because most people cannot see how additional security can directly generate income, it is often necessary to justify Risk Management in financial terms. Fortunately, this is not difficult to do.

By providing a safer environment, you may actually notice an increase in the number of customers and repeat customers who come to your property as well as a decrease in employee turnover.

It is an established fact that customers and employees are attracted to environments where they feel safe.

Security Threat & Risk Management

“The first step in any thorough Risk Management strategy is Risk Identification.”

Risk Identification

You will have to identify the areas in which you are vulnerable before you can begin to assess and ultimately manage those risks that you’ve identified. Take a moment to write down the risks your company is currently facing, and then consider the potential losses that could result.

Types of Risk

There are basically two types of risks: controllable and uncontrollable.Controllable risks are those that you can do something about. These would include physical security devices such as locks, maintaining good lighting, maintaining safe landscaping design, having regular security and safety inspections, etc.

Uncontrollable risks might include anything from unforeseeable criminal acts of third parties to natural disasters (floods, storms, etc.). It is difficult to prevent these from happening, but you can at least mitigate damage by preparing for such emergencies or taking out insurance.

Risk Assessment

To calculate your risk, multiply the probability of a foreseeable event by the impact of the potential loss. Theoretically, this makes it possible to prioritise foreseeable events in the order of their risk.

Risk Management stems from your decisions based upon that data. If not properly assessed, that data can be unreliable and/or inaccurate.

Threats – Examples might include natural disasters, internal theft, or criminal acts of third parties, to name a few. Threats are present for every type of business.

Vulnerabilities – These are weaknesses that make a business more prone to the threat of a loss. Vulnerabilities may provide the opportunity for an attack to have a more severe or devastating impact.

For example, regarding criminal activity, vulnerability could be found in the absence of sufficient security lighting or the absence of an adequate security system.

Controls – These are countermeasures taken to overcome the threats and vulnerabilities. They are:

Risk Avoidance – Deterrent Controls are used to completely avoid the likelihood of certain deliberate attacks.

Risk Reduction – Detective Controls discover the risk of deliberate attacks and then initiate preventative or corrective controls to reduce the likelihood of these attacks occurring.

Risk Spreading – Corrective Controls serve to mitigate the impact of an expected attack.

Risk Transference – Preventative Controls are used to protect vulnerabilities and make an attack unsuccessful or greatly reduce its impact.

Of course, there is a fifth type of approach to Risk Management. It is called Risk Acceptance.

Here, you simply “take your chances” that nothing will happen, and you accept your risks by making little or no effort to control or eliminate them.

Frankly, that isn’t using good business sense. In our litigious society, wilful negligence in this regard can certainly lead to catastrophic consequences.

The Chief Risk Factor

It’s a fact that your competition has a better chance of beating you if you are weaker in one or a number of areas.

Therefore, you may actually be the Chief Risk Factor in your business. “Chief” because it all starts (and ends) with you.

This is true if you are running a large corporation or managing a small business.

Safety and security is like water; It always runs downhill.

From the boardroom to the lunchroom and every room in between, good safety and security practices must be adopted by the Chief Executive Officer and supported by the Chief Financial Officer.

It is important to realize that overstated probability of risks may lead you to unnecessary expenditures that are not properly targeted or directly related to your potential impacts, threats, and existing vulnerabilities.

That may leave you susceptible to litigation. Likewise, an understated probability of risk may lead to complacency, which could leave you even more susceptible to litigation.
