Golden Rule No 14
Immediate Detection of Security Breaches
Effective security systems should be designed to ensure that any breach is immediately detected. This involves configuring deterrence, detection, delays, and disruption measures to address external intrusions.
While these measures are relatively straightforward to implement, detecting crimes like information theft and fraud requires a more sophisticated approach. Most instances of information theft go undetected, and fraud can last for years before being discovered.
Key Points:
- Barrier Protection: Prevent surreptitious entry by ensuring intruders leave evidence of penetration, allowing for prompt damage assessment and neutralisation.
- Sophisticated Detection: Implement procedures to detect information theft and fraud, such as close IT liaison, outsourced hotlines, pre-employment screening, covert surveillance, and automated red flag software.
- Cultural Importance: Foster a culture where security is everyone's responsibility.
This approach helps in minimising damage and protecting valuable assets and sensitive information.
