Risk assessment in the protection of persons, property and business
Risk management is an important aspect of our lives. We are all at risk daily, one way or another, at work or in private, and often we subconsciously do risks management. We must actively consider this issue in the context of the work we do. Modern corporate governance structures place a significant emphasis on risk management, all with the aim of operating more efficiently and reducing unnecessary losses.
In accordance with market needs, following current security trends, our company has formed a team of qualified, licensed experts from the Ministry of the Interior, who are engaged in the development of Risk Assessments in the protection of persons, property and business.
The Risk Assessment Act in the protection of individuals, property and businesses, presents the primary document in accordance with the Law on Private Security, from which the plan of technical protection is created, as well as the design of the security system and maintenance of technical protection equipment.
A well-crafted Risk Assessment Act in the protection of individuals, property and businesses guarantees high results in building your company’s security system and successfully achieving long-term business goals. These acts aim to look at all potential threats to people and property, but also to propose concrete measures and procedures to reduce or mitigate the potential consequences of adverse events based on the identified potential threats.
So far, this area has been left to individuals, self-proclaimed experts who have been drafting the acts by themselves, which largely reflected the level of security.
Supervision of the implementation of the Regulation on Mandatory Secured Facilities, which foresees, among other things, a risk assessment in the protection of individuals, property and business, is carried out by an inspection body within the Ministry of the Interior.
