Operational Requirements By State2 Security Ltd

What are Operational Requirements

Security operational requirements are a structured statement of an organisation's specific security needs, derived from a risk assessment to define protective measures that align with identified threats and vulnerabilities. This systematic process identifies sensitive information, evaluates potential threats, and determines the appropriate security controls needed to effectively deter, detect, delay, mitigate, and respond to security incidents, ensuring security investments are proportionate to the actual risks faced. 

Benefits of Using Operational Requirements

Informed Investment: Ensures security spending is aligned with actual risks. 

Strategic Alignment: Provides a clear statement of needs that helps guide the development of security measures. 

Risk Mitigation: Identifies and helps to address key vulnerabilities and threats. 

Regulatory Compliance: Helps organisations meet legal and industry standards for security. 

Stakeholder Buy-in: Involving stakeholders in the process fosters support for security projects.
