It helps organizations define governance, leadership commitment, policies, organizational context, risk assessment, security objectives, operational controls, performance evaluation, audits, and continual improvement activities.
The standard includes informative guidance for applying physical protection measures, including security surveys, cost-benefit analysis, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), site hardening, lighting, barriers, intrusion detection, access control, and video surveillance. It also supports integration with organizational resilience and continuity management systems.
Application Scope: Intended for security managers, risk professionals, facilities leaders, business continuity practitioners, and organizations establishing or improving a physical asset protection management system.
