In today’s challenging world, designing and implementing a robust security plan is complex and requires constant oversight. As risk levels and threats change, your security plan must evolve to meet potential emerging dangers and hazards that can impede operations. Additionally, companies must continually train employees and staff to ensure everyone knows their roles and responsibilities when an incident occurs. While having a strong security operational plan is valuable, the key to success is the preparation and training.
