Employing security is much more than deployment of guards alone. Once the level of threat is accurately perceived, a comprehensive system can be designed and put in place integrating electronic security systems, access control, CCTV systems, manual guarding services, command and control centers, integrated operational procedures and training of personnel into a cohesive and seamless foolproof package. Private security firms can be contracted to implement such a properly designed system.
Total Security system design and Corporate Security Policy development
The following steps would basically constitute the sequence of events required to create a security Policy and assure a proper security system in place, which would be dynamic, sustainable, both pro-active and reactive and achieving all the above desired security benchmark objectives. Security System and Policy has to be both pro-active as well as reactive to all the threats envisioned.

The main sections dealt in this section are:
- Pro-Active Strategy
- Information and Intelligence
- Aggressive Display
- Development of Corporate Security Vision and Policy
- Training and Comfort Zones
- Re-Active Strategy
- The Crisis Management Team
- Operating Procedures
- Zero Down Time Target
The Final Sequence of events and major steps to achieve the desired objectives would be:
- Identification of Threats and creating physical and Electronic Security Benchmarks.
- Development of Pro-Active and Reactive Security Operating Procedures.
- Selection of in-house Security Team, Contract Guarding Services and Electronic Security Contractors.
- Training of Staff, Security Services and Management.
- Deployment of Physical and Electronic Security Solutions.
- Monitoring and Evaluation of envisioned objectives and on-line evaluation of planned objectives for variance and improvements.
The above six-point checklist should be applicable in almost any environment. But it is not a one-time process. From threat assessment to constant evaluation of planned objectives, security management is a demanding job with almost no margin for error.
