Operations Assurance

Security operation assurance refers to the processes of continuously evaluating and verifying that an organisation's security measures and systems are effective, reliable, and compliant with standards and best practices. 

It involves identifying risks and vulnerabilities in areas like access control, surveillance, and perimeter protection, and ensuring the proper implementation and ongoing maintenance of security controls to protect assets and people. This assurance can include regular audits and testing of integrated systems like smart access control.
