This Standard utilizes a management systems approach to provide guidance for assisting organizations in the design, implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and maintenance of a physical asset protection (PAP) program. It also provides guidance on the identification, application, and management of physical protection systems (PPS) to safeguard an organization's assets.
About the Standard
Every organization needs to protect its assets, including people, property, and information. A physical asset protection (PAP) program can provide that protection. It encompasses a systematic approach to identify threats and vulnerabilities an organization faces so that they can be addressed.
The PAP should consider the needs and expectations of the organization and its stakeholders and it should be a dynamic program that can be modified as the operating environment, staff, and organizational objectives change. In addition, the program requires continual monitoring and evaluation so it can improve. Top management buy-in is crucial to success.
