The security management process is planning, implementing, evaluating, and monitoring security measures to protect people, data, property, and facilities from harm.
The first step of process security management is the identification of hazards that could potentially affect an organization. The next steps involve assessing risks associated with these hazards and determining what actions need to be taken to reduce the risks. The third step is carrying out appropriate measures that are part of a planned security management process to control risk. Security managers will also monitor how well their approaches are working overtime so they can make informed improvements if any issues arise.
