Management of security information in the security industry

Govender, Doraval 06 1900 (has links)
Incidents, threats and vulnerabilities have the potential to negatively affect an organisation’s assets. Information on these incidents, threats and vulnerabilities are important to security. It is therefore necessary for this security information to be effectively and efficiently managed, so that correct decisions may be made on the implementation of security risk control measures. This study explored the management of security information in the security industry by undertaking the following: • establishing the “status quo” of the collection and analysis of security information and the implementation of security risk control measures in practice; • identifying the nature and extent of problems experienced in the collection and analysis of security information and the implementation of security risk control measures; and the • discovery of a new Security Information Management Model (SIMM). Mixed methods research was used to study the management of security information in the security industry. The explorative research design was used for this purpose. Semi-structured and focus group interviews were conducted with senior security managers and operational security officers, respectively. The grounded theory research design was used to analyse the qualitative data in order to generate a substantive grounded theory. The theory is that security officers operate without a standardised framework to manage security information. The data from the semi-structured and the focus group interviews were used to design a questionnaire to conduct a survey using the quantitative approach. The non-experimental research design was used to conduct this self-administered questionnaire survey. The data from this questionnaire survey helped validate and confirm the substantive grounded theory. The study found that there was the need for a Security Information Management Model to manage security information in the security industry. Based on this finding the researcher recommended a new Security Information Management Model for the management of security information in the security industry. / Criminology / D. Litt. et Phil.
