National Infrastructure are those facilities, systems, sites, information, people, networks and processes, necessary for a country to function and upon which daily life depends. It also includes some functions, sites and organizations which are not critical to the maintenance of essential services, but which need protection due to the potential danger to the public.

Throughout the world national infrastructure sectors can include chemicals, communications, emergency services, energy, finance, food, government, health, transport and water to name a few. Several sectors have defined ‘sub-sectors’; Emergency Services for example can be split into Police, Ambulance, and Fire Services.

Each sector has one or more Lead Government Department(s) (LGD) responsible for the sector, and ensuring protective security is in place for critical assets.

‘Those critical elements of infrastructure, namely assets, facilities, systems, networks or processes and the essential workers that operate and facilitate them), the loss or compromise of which could result in major detrimental impact on the availability, integrity or delivery of essential services – including those services whose integrity, if compromised, could result in significant loss of life or casualties – taking into account significant economic or social impacts; and can even significantly impact on national security, or the functioning of the state.

Our focus is offer effective tactics and practice methods within the scope of assisting government authorities and further using resources that can be provide by business partners and the public.

PSeMS

PSeMS – A Protective Security Management System

All organizations need to ensure they have the processes and procedures in place to deliver an effective, efficient and compliant security provision. To help organizations be better prepared to meet these challenges, a Community Practice Guide and GAP Analysis has been produced a suite of guidance products known as Protective Security Management Systems (PSeMS) which support a methodical and proactive approach for assessing and managing holistic security risks for senior leadership teams and security managers.

PSeMS helps raise the profile and importance of security at all levels across your organization. But, critically, it establishes the requirement for senior management support, review and oversight, by providing clear evidence to justify enablers such as additional resources and investment. By appointing an accountable manager at Board level your senior management teams will see the benefit of having security appropriately governed, resourced and managed.

PSeMS should not be seen as a particular piece of technology, nor is it simply a set of documented procedures. Well implemented PSeMS is not a burden on the organization’s core business, but brings together a range of processes including governance, communications and risk management, reducing gaps in security management and providing greater assurance – enhancing security effectiveness throughout an organization.

As with all management systems, PSeMS provides for goal-setting, performance measurement and planning, and focuses on maximizing opportunities to continuously improve security and the system itself. It is not necessarily about implementing new processes but ensuring that the current ones are fit for purpose and brought together to provide an optimized and holistic approach to security.

PSeMS guidance does not replace ISO Standards but should be used as a gateway to other existing Industry Standards and regulatory frameworks, accreditation and certification schemes.

The suite of products available are focused at senior managers and security practitioners on understanding why and how to implement PSeMS. The guidance includes:

What is PSeMS?
A self-assessment PSeMS checklist for organizations to use to conduct gap analysis and/or assurance activities.
Organisational case studies illustrating benefits and best practices

PSeMS for port protective security is available free, but due to recommendations within the practice a registration request is required.

In the event you or your organization do not qualify for a restricted practice document, a non-restricted practice will be sent.

The Morrone 9/11 Center assist in participation and facilitating global forum program focusing on threat issues. This has included world authorities presenting how to conduct information exchange regarding the various risk management approaches that represent what nations and authorities have adopted; and what they should be considering. Other issues included improving inter-agency cooperation, threat and vulnerability assessments, risk management, enhancing the effectiveness of access control and identity authentication, communication, cyber, and incident response. Discussion and presentations identified and promulgate resources, best practices, and future work priorities pertaining to the port security committees.

We strive to participate and bring officials and other leaders together to engage, discuss, learn, and provide solutions to our world challenges from protecting the supply chain, aviation and other transportation security issue, and mass environment security conditions. Our challenges in security change, and we need to be at the ready to keep information, tactics, practices and innovation in the forefront.
