The Centre for the Protection of Critical Infrastructure protects security of Critical Infrastructure by providing protective security systems, plans and opinion. Protective security is 'putting in place, or structure into design, security measures or protocols such that threats may be deterred, detected, or the consequences of an attack minimized'. We provide security systems, plans & advice on physical security, personnel security and cyber security - information assurance. Most importantly, we explain how these components merge together and support each other - and their connection to the threat. MD protective security systems, plan & advice is built on a combination of several things including: - Our understanding of the security threat - Our experience and expertise effective - Relationships with private and other sector partners policy considerations. We prioritize to whom we give assist through various mechanisms for example a sector approach for national infrastructure, a criticality scale and challenge protects current themes for counter terrorism.

Security Planning
Organizations cannot remove all of the achievable threats they face but, in addition to the security procedures in place to protect their most valuable assets, they should also have plans and strategies to respond to serious incidents and the emergency planning for getting back to business as usual without delay. MD can explain some documents and plans that organizations should maintain to an appropriate level of detail. They are intended as preliminary points. Any decisions or investments in relation to security should always be taken in consultation with the MD sources of information that are available and which are referenced throughout. There are a number of business reasons why organizations should plan to deter acts or terrorism or espionage, or at least to minimize their impact. They are: o Business continuity Guarantee that your business is able to cope with an attack and return to normality as soon as possible. This is particularly important for smaller businesses that may not have the resources to withstand even a few days without trading. o Legal obligations In the event of an attack your preparation and contingency plans are likely to come under inspection. Safety at work regulations put the responsibility on the owner or occupier of property has a duty of care for staff and visitors. In any subsequent inquiries or court actions, you would need to show that you took the relevant legislation into account. o Loss of reputation Your production or organization will lose its good name if it does not fulfill its legal obligations and/or business continuity plans in the event of a terrorist attack. The resulting loss of reputation may adversely affect your business. In addition, make sure that your

organization has sufficient insurance to cover all threats consult your insurance responsibility on the owner or occupier of property has a duty of care for staff and visitors. In any subsequent inquiries or court actions, you would need to show that you took the relevant legislation into account. o Business continuity planning The Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is an essential part of any organizations response planning. It sets out how the business will operate following an incident and how it expects to return to business as usual in the quickest possible time afterwards. o Staff- awareness Educating staff about security will not only help them to recognize possible risks and vulnerabilities but also help organizations identify new threats from the feedback they receive from a more alert workforce. o Standards and specifications In group effort with MD Consortium Standards Institution (MD-CSI), and with the assistance of a range of stakeholders, we can develop the Publicly Available Specifications needed.
Security advice
The most effective way to secure a business is to use a combination of physical, information and personnel security measures. However, when combined, these disciplines working together create a multi-layered regime with each layer reinforcing against the weaknesses of the next, providing a mix of deterrence and detection. o Appropriate and proportionate Any procedures, measures and investments put in place must be appropriate and proportionate for that specific situation. Every location, even within the same organization, will be different and so the security requirements will change accordingly with locally identified threats and vulnerabilities. Implementing the wrong measures may prove costly, unnecessarily disruptive and may even alienate staff. Careful planning and specialist advice will always be necessary. MD principles: o Possible to protect the whole thing. o Prioritize the areas to protect. o Measures balanced to the threat. o Understand the various threats. o Risk assessment - within each individual location.
