Physical Protection System Improvement Advice for Prestigious Golfing Estate
Physical Risk was engaged by Steenberg Golf Club (Tokai, Cape Town) to assess and advise on physical protection system improvements intended to effectively mitigate prevailing threats commonly associated with and increasingly experienced at golfing and lifestyle estates across South Africa.
Physical Risk’s engagement response was structured to address all the sub-components of a physical protection system (PPS), namely:
Deterrence;
Detection – and;
Response considerations
Over and above the PPS sub-component assessment, we thought it comprehensive to advise Steenberg Golf Club on the following considerations to ensure the ingredients, which make up an effective security portfolio, had been raised for their consideration:
1. Integration of PPS sub-components to optimise the advantage of multiple security safeguards against common physical security threats.
2. The value of a comprehensive security design specification to serve the best interest of Steenberg in terms of technical specifications, quality of craftsmanship, quality of products installed, warranties and guarantees, commissioning and testing, amongst others.
3. Performance-based supplier service level agreements (installer & guarding vendors) to protect Steenberg’s interest and effectively transfer risk, i.e. realising a return on security program investment/expense, the majority of which is a recurring cost of business.
4. Comprehensive maintenance agreements to cover the post-installation life span of security technology and other infrastructure improvements.
