Question 10

Which term in security operations is the process of balancing the cost of security with the overall corporate goal of producing goods, services and profits?

Accepted Answer

Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing, and prioritizing risks, and then responding to them using appropriate measures. One of the key aspects of this process is balancing the cost of security measures with the overall goal of the business, which is to generate profits by delivering products or services. This involves making risk-informed decisions that align with the organization's risk appetite and tolerance. Risk assessment and analysis are important components of risk management, but they do not specifically focus on balancing costs and profits. Risk decisions are the outcome of the risk management process, not a term used to describe it.

Accepted Answer

Crisis management teams are responsible for coordinating all activities with organizational, emergency and governmental personnel upon initiation of an emergency.

These types of workplaces require protection against theft, vandalism, and physical harm to employees and customers.

Question 13

What is used to record patrol activities of guards and the time and location of each visit they make?

Accepted Answer

A computerized guard tour system is designed to record the patrol activities of guards, including the time and location of each visit they make. It provides a more efficient and accurate way of managing security patrols, compared to manual recording methods. A computerized patrol system and a computerized electronic surveillance system may also have similar features, but they are not specifically designed for recording guard patrols.

Question 14

Accepted Answer

A comprehensive physical examination of the premise and a thorough inspection of all security systems is known as a security survey. Option A, facility analysis, is a broader term that covers various aspects of assessing a site, including physical, architectural, and operational considerations. Option B, security coverage, is not a term used to describe an examination or inspection but instead refers to the scope and effectiveness of security measures in place. Option C, mitigation analysis, usually involves identifying and reducing risk factors to minimize the likelihood of a security breach, but it does not necessarily entail a comprehensive examination or inspection.

Question 15

Unsatisfactory compensation is often cited as a major reason for resignation among security personnel, as it directly affects their livelihood and satisfaction with the job.

Together, risk analysis and security survey provide a comprehensive approach to risk management.
