UNDSSS YOUR SAFETY, YOUR SECURITY, OUR PRIORITY Support FOR THE RECORD RESOURCES ON SECURITY POLICIES Security Management System SRM Going Digital UNSMIN SECURITY POLICY MANUAL POLICY PRESENTATION VIDEO COMMUNIQUE SRM, SSIRS, WEAPONS MANUALS SECURITY MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS MANUAL WEBEX MEETINGS (Field) DRO WORKSHOP MONTHLY POLICY FORUMS BRIEFING UPON REQUEST QUESTIONS: undss.policy@un.org LIVE The roll out of the new SRM process and platform is continuing, with a planned completion date of 31 December 2016. The introduction of a revised methodology for risk assessment, and its supporting online 'SRM tool', alongside the existing policy on Programme Criticality, will enable the shift of core UN Security risk management functions away from paper towards a new data-based approach, that will allow for more dynamic and responsive risk management decisions. The tool will also improve accountability within the UN Security Management System with the advent of 'implementation monitoring' for approved security prevention and mitigation measures. Moreover, the data collected will reveal important trends and patterns on the effectiveness of UN risk management on a local, as well as a global, level. Public reaction to the system so far has been positive, but it is also clear that the new digital platform will, at times, ask UN decision makers and security professionals to adjust their risk security management approaches to make best use of the technology. For example, SRM measures must be crafted in accordance with SMART criteria. In other words, they should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time bound in their realisation. For more on this users can contact the designated focal point within UNDSS DRO for responding to queries on SRM implementation, George Bloch (bloch@un.org). Physical Security Physical Security Assessment Application The Division of Headquarters Security and Safety Services’ Physical Security Unit (PSU) is working alongside the Crisis Management Information Support Section (CMISS), to develop a Physical Security Assessment App that will provide security practitioners from UNDSS and AFPs with a means to collect and analyse data on premises in order to identify vulnerabilities and appropriate mitigating measures, in line with the SRM methodology. The app can collect data while offline at a site, such as premises characteristics, existing mitigating measures, occupancy and location. The tool will also be capable of importing and exporting data to and from other existing UNSMS tools and datasets, including the SRM E-tool, the Premises database and SSIRS. All of the relevant collected information can then sync with the desktop component to develop a premises vulnerability assessment and provide a comprehensive list of possible mitigation measures to be implemented. DHSSS anticipates field testing the app in early 2017. -11
