Security Management and Business Continuity
Module code: CR2512
Risk assessment, management and business continuity planning are central to the functioning of any organisation and thus key to the role of a security officer and manager. In this module we will examine how risk can be analysed, managed and recovered from within varying organisational contexts. We will consider the risks and crises that can arise within the workplace and must be dealt with by the security manager, and also some less likely but more catastrophic disasters that cannot be foreseen or prevented. We will examine the notion of risk as a quantifiable entity along with the varying approaches to risk assessment before ending with a consideration of risk management and the main principles underpinning the planning process to ensure business continuity.
