Getting the fundamentals right, mastering the basics, conducting thorough risk assessments and addressing operational requirements, is pivotal to building a solid foundation for security measures. These steps ensure that the recommended safeguards are both necessary and proportionate to the risk, creating an environment where security decisions are well-informed and effective.

Equally important is fostering leadership engagement. Ensuring that your Board understands security risks and actively participates by leading from the top, helps cultivate a security-minded culture where security is seen as a strategic business enabler. This leadership-driven approach strengthens alignment across the organisation and reinforces an organisations' commitment to proactive risk management. However, in today’s interconnected world, a siloed approach to security is no longer sufficient.
 
The key to effective security provision lies in the effective adoption of converged security—bringing together physical, personnel, personal, cyber and technical security into a cohesive framework. Converged security breaks down barriers between domains, providing a comprehensive view of risks and ensuring that interventions across all areas are coordinated and complementary.
