Our World is not as large as you might think. But when an issue arises you'll feel a million miles away and utterly alone without the the proper systems in place to care for your Company and your employees.

Your security is much more than having a strong firewall and a good Cyber Security Manager. Social engineering and poorly executed physical protocols are the biggest culprits of theft.

I posted this to LinkedIn and then removed it because I think it’s a topic that needs space to talk about.

It needs to be addressed but I don’t want it to be seen as a irreversible negative but instead a challenge that needs to be addressed.

I’m not one to beat around the bush. So, here’s the answer:
- Management thinks they know what they want, without understanding the threats to their business.
- Employees have idea of what is needed based on fear which changes.
- Security professionals are hired from the police, sheriff’s departments, US Marshal Service, Secret Service, The State Department diplomatic security, ATF, DOJ, FBI, and all the branches of the military and they are asked to create cohesive guidelines and protocols for a company not a government agency.
- There is no clear department to place the office, which is usually stuffed under HR, Facilities, Legal, or HSE.
- And direct supervision of the office is placed under someone who has better understanding of business than of human nature.

The result? Confusing policies that cost more money than they are worth. Employees who feel abused and neglected. A security department that either acts like a tyrant or an errand boy. And gaping vulnerabilities that are hidden under red tape and expensive systems.

How many of these businesses had a Security Plan? How many were offered a plan and they refused saying to themselves...."I'll never need one."?

A security plan is more than a document. It's a product of a thoughtful and balanced owner who understands that we don't live in a vacuum and a security culture is to be valued.

Risk Assessments aren't just for the big boys.

If you were attacked today on the way to work would you know what to do? Are you prepared as a business owner to address a riot, a shooting, an active shooter? Do your employees know what to do?

Of the people asked, 99 percent of them said wouldn't know what to do if they were attacked or if a crisis happened to them.

Security professionals, don't be fooled. The rioting, shootings, and death spawned by this tragic and horrible event are not solely based on the issue of race and police misconduct.

This is a pressure release from almost three months of forced lockdown, stress, job losses, fear, and fierce political intimidation. This is a symptom of what is growing across the World under the apparent peaceful surface of compliance.

Take heed and know that these feelings are growing in all our organizations. They must be recognized and addressed. Leadership must provide a thoughtful form of release before it explodes in chaos in our respective backyards.

Protests in Minneapolis over the death of George Floyd have become violent within hours, as fires erupt throughout the city. CNN's Omar Jimenez reports.
