Threat risk assessment

007  Time of publication:2021-07-21

When the stability of the company's business is unexpectedly threatened, a business crisis occurs. Crisis can be internal or caused by external factors. While keeping silent and doing nothing is the right approach in some cases, in other cases, inaction may cause permanent damage to the company’s business, or cause business failure in the worst case. A good brand reputation is essential, but it is also fragile. It takes years for people and organizations to build it, but it can easily disappear. Suddenly, when the crisis is not properly managed, it can cause customers and stakeholders to lose trust. In order to avoid this loss, companies need to pay more attention to the crisis, think strategically and formulate crisis public relations plans for different crisis scenarios. English name: Business crisis。

Identify the crisis
Companies can act more effectively and intervene in crises before the situation gets out of control. In reality, some crises can be predicted and avoided, while others are inevitable. Step 1 Determine what a business crisis looks like. Three key factors can help identify a crisis:
①The problem must pose a threat to the company and reputation
②The situation is unexpected and contains unexpected and shocking elements
③The severity of the problem will force companies to make timely and effective decisions

[1] Security threats and risk assessment
For those working in the security or protection industry, threat assessment is the first step in risk and vulnerability analysis. This threat assessment task involves assessing various threats and security risks associated with a specific location. It covers a wide range of threats: from natural threats (tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes), criminal threats (from location theft, violence against staff) to terrorists (active shooters, vehicles and personal improvised explosive devices) and potential Accident.

[2] Active threat assessment

For security professionals, threat assessment is also used to describe the process by which your operators observe and identify potential, direct, or imminent threats (for example, active shooters, terrorists, criminals). At Second Sight, we use the term active threat assessment to describe the process of system observation to identify threats. These threats may target your customers, their facilities, or your personnel.


【3】Network security threats and risk assessment

The same threat and risk assessment and analysis process can be applied to network security. Cybersecurity threat risk assessment may involve protecting information (for example: your customer’s PII), network (for example, the Internet in your office), software (for example, your customer management system), and hardware (your laptop and desktop). Your employees). Controls can be implemented or improved based on higher risk threats to network-related infrastructure.

[4] Threat Assessment of Tool Violence
Identify and intervene with potentially violent individuals and prevent instrumental violence (such as shooting in the workplace). It focuses on preventing violent incidents and "helping potential criminals overcome their potential sources of anger, despair or despair." This method focuses on assessing the threat of a specific attack by a specific individual. In your case, it may involve an employee who threatened other employees or who had a recent dispute at work. For administrative and personal protection, it may involve individuals who threaten your protected person.

[5] Risk Assessment of Violence Threat
Violence threat risk assessment is usually of legal and clinical nature. It can estimate the possibility of an individual's future violent behavior, and determine risk factors and intervention strategies. This method is somewhat different from the aforementioned tool violence threat assessment. This violence risk method focuses on assessing an individual’s overall preference for violence, and has nothing to do with specific attacks on specific targets. This threat assessment method may not be performed directly by you or your staff. Usually these assessments are performed by experienced clinicians. These violent threat risk assessments can be used for disciplinary and mental hospital release decisions, civil commitments, criminal sentences, or classification after entering disciplinary or treatment facilities.
