Prepare Your Security Plan With the Help of ISOG Security Consultant
ISOG security consultants can prepare and write a Security Plan, and then keep it updated or review any existing plans that the client may have and suggest improvements.
An effective security system has many elements and finds its glue in a comprehensive Security Plan. A plan and Standard Operating Procedures serve as a tool to prevent, prepare for and respond to a host of events that threaten the lives of people, the ongoing operations, or which may cause environmental damage. Without a plan, the Return On Investment in security guards, intrusion detection systems, access control systems and other security equipment is greatly reduced.
Security Plans can be prepared for the following facilities:
- Banks and financial institutions
- Residential Buildings
- Multinationals
- Schools and Universities
- Refineries, tunnels, oil platforms and power production
- Government buildings
- Military installations
- Airports and ports
- Maritime companies and vessels
Security Planning is also a tool used for implementing the ISPS Code.
The ISPS Code sets specific compliance requirements for making sure the port facilities, maritime companies and vessels implement security measures to prevent terrorist attack effectively. For this reason, Security Planning for these facilities is described more in-depth.
Port Facility Security Plan (PFSP)
The Port Facility Security Plan establishes how the facility will comply with the ISPS Code. In particular it establishes the position of a Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO) and identifies the processes and procedures to be followed. The Port Facility Security Plan is submitted for approval to a government or an RSO.
Ship Security Plan (SSP)
The ship security plan establishes how the vessel will comply with the ISPS Code, the position of a Ship Security Officer (SSO) and identifies the processes and procedures to be followed. The Ship Security Plan is submitted for approval to a government, an RSO or flag state. After being approved, the Ship Security Plan is put into operation on the vessel and then the approval authority will attend on board the vessel to verify whether the Ship Security Plan has been implemented. Soon after, the approval authority will issue the International Ship Security Certificate (ISSC).
Company Security Plan (CSP)
The Company Security Plan establishes how the company will comply with the security requirements for the vessel and its interface responsibilities with the vessel and port facility through the Company Security Officer (CSO). Measures in the plan provide details on the company’s commitment, requirements and procedures to comply with the ISPS Code. It is through the consultation with the company and the development of the Company Security Plan that the security processes and procedures will be defined for the company’s ships.
