One of the most common examples of a security breach, the simple practice of tailgating can provide undocumented and unauthorized access to potential threats. Small behaviours, such as holding open a door for the person behind, can undermine the security system for a property and grant free access to strangers.
Poor security practices such as tailgating can leave visitors and contractors with the impression that your organisation has a relaxed attitude to security, indicating it could be an easy target.
Physical and cyber (or information) security measures can only go so far in mitigating security threats. Employees must behave in the right way to optimise the effectiveness of such measures
Encouraging employees to think and act in a security-conscious and collaborative manner can help businesses to prevent incidents and breaches from happening.
By ensuring simple security behaviours are shared, the overall level of security can be dramatically improved.
Security behaviours refer to the set of values and practices - shared by everyone in an organisation - that determine how people are expected to think about and approach security.
The development of an appropriate security culture within UK organisations, where the right security behaviours are adopted by the workforce as a matter of course, is an essential component to any protective security regime. It is also something that can be achieved at a relatively low cost in comparison to some physical and technical measures.
One method is to follow the 5Es framework - this is recommended as a way to guide organisations on how best to embed and sustain security working behaviours within the workforce:
Guidance such as this is designed to empower employees to create a challenge culture.
From tailgating to challenging an unfamiliar visitor to a property, getting the basics right can prevent damaging security breaches. In some scenarios, good security practices can prevent theft, criminal damage, and the negative effects security breaches can have to an organisation's reputation.
