Best Practices: From Risk Analysis to Continuous Monitoring
Effective corporate security is not a one-off activity. It requires a continuous process starting with risk assessment and extending through implementation, monitoring, and ongoing improvement.
Risk assessment and evaluation
Each project begins with a comprehensive risk assessment: threat identification, vulnerability analysis, probability and impact estimation. This defines objective priorities and allocates resources proportionally.
Planning and implementation
Countermeasures must fit the context. This includes physical security (perimeters, access), maritime (ISPS/SOLAS plans), and IT (hardening, backups, monitoring). All measures are formalised into internal policies and procedures.
Training and security culture
Technology alone is insufficient. Regular training for employees, managers, and suppliers reduces human error and increases resilience. Simulations and drills strengthen prevention culture.
Monitoring and incident response
Continuous monitoring of critical assets enables real-time anomaly detection. Each incident must follow clear playbooks: detection, containment, analysis, recovery.
Audits and continuous improvement
Internal and external audits verify effectiveness. Findings feed a continuous improvement process, ensuring alignment with global standards (ISO 27001, NIST CSF, NIS2).
Benefits
- Reduced incident response time
- Ongoing compliance with standards and regulations
- Improved organisational resilience
- Greater trust from partners, clients, and authorities
