A security ‘posture’ is a practice or activity that can be implemented and/or modified at relatively short notice (e.g., locking doors, putting on additional guards), and which can be undertaken against an agreed specification after changes to the threat level. A security posture at a higher threat level builds on the strengths of the posture implemented at a lower threat level.


Practices or activities that fall within an organization’s security posture are many and varied. Outlined below are some example practices that can be implemented or modified at short notice after changes to an organization’s threat level.


For example:
• Provision of threat-risk briefings
• Training (awareness, refresher, personal safety, group, emergency/evacuation, et cetera)
• Wearing/non-wearing of uniforms
• Wearing of passes and Sign-In books
• Individual and/or group travel arrangements
• Deployment and positioning of bollards at road or building entry points
• Deployment of static and mobile security guards (foot and/or vehicle mounted)
• Graduated carriage of defensive devices (none, stab-resistant vests, firearms)

 

POSTURE LEVELS
We use four severity levels to structure security postures. Each level's characteristics are discussed below. Examples are also given, although they are not meant to be a complete listing of environments or situations.


We designed the four levels in this example to align with other threat advisory levels, such as travel advice levels. The four levels are:
1. Level 1: Normal – Standard Security Precautions
2. Level 2: Elevated – Exercise a High Degree of Caution
3. Level 3: High - Heightened Security Precautions
4. Level 4: Enhanced - Activate Additional Security Measures
