What is ISO 22341 about?
ISO 22341 discusses security and resilience. ISO 22341 provides guidelines to organizations for establishing the basic elements, strategies, and processes for preventing and reducing crime and the fear of crime in a new or existing built environment. It recommends the establishment of countermeasures and actions to treat crime and security risks effectively and efficiently by leveraging environmental design.
Note 1: Within ISO 22341, the term “security” is used broadly to include all crime, safety, and security-specific applications, so it applies to public and private organizations, regardless of type, size, or nature.
Note 2: While ISO 22341 provides general examples of implementation strategies and best practices, ISO 22341 is not intended to provide an exhaustive listing of detailed design, architectural or physical security crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) implementation strategies or restrict the potential applications to only those examples provided in ISO 22341.
Who is ISO 22341 for?
ISO 22341 on security and resilience for protective security is beneficial for:
- Intelligence agencies
- Police department
- City planning officials
- Civil engineers
Why should you use ISO 22341?
CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) has an increasingly sound theoretical foundation based on firm evidence of significant crime and fear reduction gained from a series of formal and rigorous evaluations in the field of environmental psychology, criminology, and crime science. When well-planned and wisely implemented, CPTED improves community safety and industrial security in a cost-effective manner.
ISO 22341 is intended to promote a common understanding of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) in the field of security, law enforcement and related risks, and their preventive measures, through environmental design and management.
ISO 22341 helps you in understanding the environmental context of crime and security risk factors, causes of vulnerabilities and risk levels. ISO 22341 gives you a better understanding of the risk and CPTED considerations leads to a better selection of tailored countermeasures.
Under the guidance of ISO 22341 you could create an environment that is well equipped to keep crime in control and ensure the safety of assets and the individuals in the concerned environment
