Dynamics SEP TEMBER/OCTOBER 2012 New Board Members Elected T HREE LONG-TIME MEMBERS OF ASIS International have been elected by their peers to serve on the ASIS Board of Directors through 2015—two for the first time and one for a second term. Richard Chase, CPP, PSP, PCI, chief security officer with General Atomics in San Diego, California; Thomas Langer, vice president security, BAE Systems, Inc., Arlington, Virginia; and Joseph McDonald, CPP, PSP, chief security officer, Switch Chase INSIDE 3 6 9 10 12 15 18 21 22 26 Member News In Brief Simeone Award Education CSO Roundtable Foundation Standards and Guidelines Certification Young Professional Chapter News Langer Communications Group, Las Vegas, Nevada, will be installed on the Board during the ASIS 58th Annual Seminar and Exhibits in Philadelphia, on Tuesday, September 11. Chase. Richard Chase joined the Society in 2003 and currently serves as a council vice president. He is a member of the ASIS Law Enforcement Liaison Council and was its chair in 2007. He is a member of the San Diego Chapter. As a Board member, Chase plans to focus on the retention of members and membership growth because he believes that the best way to promote the Society’s intellectual expertise internationally is through its volunteers. He hopes to further advance networking opportunities, which he considers a valuable benefit. He will advocate training that teaches best practices through virtual, physical, and mobile learning. Chase says the Board must continue to ensure that ASIS’s strategic plan “stimulates ingenuity, fosters self-investment, promotes a common vision, and anticipates emerging threats and opportunities.” Chase received a master’s of science with a focus on security management from Michigan State University. He began his security career with the U.S. Department of Justice and held various positions with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms as well as the U.S. Border Patrol. He is affiliated with numerous McDonald federal law enforcement organizations. His passion is to promote public-private security partnerships aimed at improving homeland security. Langer. Thomas Langer has been an active member of ASIS since 2000. He is vice chair of the Society’s Defense and Intelligence Council and served as its chair in 2001. He is a member of the National Capital Chapter. Langer is confident that he will bring an understanding of the security profession, the community, and the business environment to the Board. He will also be an advocate for security professionalism, and notes that ASIS must “watch carefully to ensure that the community remains relevant in a time of tighter budgets and difficult discretionary spending.” Another issue that Langer hopes to pursue is critical infrastructure integration. While he acknowledges that approaches to safeguarding differ among sectors, he sees the “need for a community-wide approach to identifying and applying sorely needed but scarce resources to large scale projects.” Langer holds a bachelor of science degree from St. Anselm College and has actively participated in the National Industrial Security Program Advisory Committee and the Aerospace Industries Association. He has held responsible security positions with BAE Systems for 28 years. McDonald. Joseph McDonald has been an ASIS member for 20 years and has been reelected to the ASIS Board of Directors for a second term. He has been a council vice president and an active member of the ASIS Gaming and Wagering Protection Council. He has served as that council’s chair, vice chair, and secretary. McDonald is a member of the Las Vegas Chapter. As a returning board member, McDonald will pick up the initiatives he began in his first term. His interests focus on increasing membership numbers, specifically of professionals in junior management positions and students. He will also continue to be an advocate for developing standards and addi- tional certification opportunities. As a third goal, McDonald says that he will pursue recognition for those members who have worked to make ASIS successful “through volunteer leadership, past and present.” He says that ASIS Board members must be able to “herald the benefits, vision, and business of the association to the public, our members, and the profession with an ear to the needs of all three.” McDonald has pursued advanced degrees at National University and the University of Phoenix, both in San Diego. He is currently attending Henley-Putnam University in San Jose. He has held responsible positions in security management for 25 years with companies on the West Coast. Early in his career, McDonald was a special investigator with the U.S. Investigative Service. He retains membership in numerous law enforcement-related organizations. McDonald attributes his successful rise in security positions to the “education, certifications, and friendships I have made through ASIS.” He says he strongly believes that his career is tied to what he has given back to ASIS through the volunteering of his time and knowledge. ◆ ASIS Board of Directors President Eduard J.

SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2012 fraud, competitive intelligence, brand protection, physical security, cybersecurity, investigations, due diligence, and global business issues. “We are delighted to organize our event in Gothenburg, as Sweden is one of our biggest chapters in Europe with around 500 members. In addition, some of the major players in the security industry are based in Sweden which makes it an appropriate location to host our event,” states ASIS President Eduard Emde, CPP. According to Kenneth Lexell, CPP, chair of the ASIS Sweden Chapter, “ASIS expects that the European Security Conference and Exhibition will attract numerous delegates as the city has visitors from all over the globe and is easily accessible and is affordable.” The conference will also feature three keynote presentations, CSO Roundtable sessions, an enlarged exhibition featuring the latest in security technology and services, and unrivalled networking opportunities at the President’s Reception, lunches, and networking breaks. The deadline for abstract submissions is September 30. To submit a presentation abstract or for more information, visit www. asisonline.org. Legislative News A SIS International attended meetings and signed onto two letters aimed at overturning a guidance issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) that would discourage employers from using criminal background history in employee screenings. In doing so, ASIS joined several major associations also sharing concerns. Essentially, the new guidance forces employers to perform “validation studies” to prove that employment decisions made based on criminal background information are job-related and consistent with business necessity. The likely result of this guidance will be fewer employers performing criminal back- Illlustration by Robert Dale/Getty Images SIS International has issued a call for presentations for the ASIS 12th European Security Conference and Exhibition in Gothenburg, Sweden, April 14-16, 2013. Around 500 senior security professionals, corporate executives, consultants, and government officials are expected to attend 33 focused educational sessions divided over three parallel tracks that will cover a wide range of security issues. ASIS welcomes abstracts on all security-related topics. However, topics of particular interest are: critical infrastructure protection, supply chain security, loss prevention, hotel security, soft targets protection, intellectual property, maritime piracy, terrorism, executive protection, internal theft and 7 In Brief ground checks because of the increased risk of being sued or facing costly investigations by the EEOC. The EEOC currently is reviewing a similar guidance for the use of credit checks. ASIS believes that a reduction in background and credit checks is a threat to public safety and will continue to actively monitor this issue. ASIS also signed onto a letter circulated by the American Society of Association Executives opposing proposed congressional and White House restrictions on the ability of federal agencies to use public funds to send representatives to meetings of private sector groups. The proposals, largely in response to GSA misuse of conference funds, would severely limit the opportunity of federal officials to attend events, such as the ASIS Seminar and Exhibits and other ASIS meetings, and it would have a negative impact on the establishment and conduct of public-private partnerships, which are so critical in security. Also last quarter, ASIS submitted a letter of support for H.R. 3523, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2012 (CISPA), introduced by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-MI). CISPA would establish a voluntary information-sharing network and imposes no new federal mandates on private citizens or businesses. H.R. 3523 successfully passed the House of Representatives with bipartisan support on April 26. The Senate has yet to act on CISPA. Also, ASIS conducted a meeting at ASIS headquarters with representatives of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to discuss the details of a partnership between ASIS and the DOJ to promote the National Suspicious Activities Reporting Initiative. The DOJ and ASIS will work together in cobranded activities to disseminate information to the private sector security community. ◆ 8 ASIS DY NAMICS Simeone Award Bestowed on Orlando T HE ASIS INTERNATIONAL Law Enforcement Liaison Council (LELC) and the ASIS Foundation are pleased to announce that the winners of the 2012 Matthew Simeone ASIS Award for Public-Private Partnership Excellence are the ASIS Greater Orlando Chapter and its law enforcement partner, the Orange County Sheriff ’s Office. ESTABLISHED IN 2011, the Matthew Simeone ASIS Award for Public Private-Partnership Excellence recognizes outstanding achievement by private organizations and public agencies that partner to address crime prevention, antiterrorism, public safety issues, and other difficult challenges. Matthew Simeone was a distinguished 24-year member of the Nassau County, New York, Police Department (NCPD). Prior to his untimely death in 2009, he was the commanding officer of the Police Commissioner’s Community Affairs Unit, a highly respected private-sector liaison, and an active LELC member. “Public-private partnerships are vital to safeguarding our communities. The concept of these partnerships is not only critical to those of us here in the United States, but throughout the world. This award highlights the importance of collaboration between the public and private sectors in fighting crime and terrorism. The incredible response we have had in applications also underscores the global footprint that ASIS has within both the security and law enforcement communities. I am proud to be the 2012 chair of the LELC and to work with our domestic and international partners to help bring this award to the forefront,” says Brian H. Reich, CPP. SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2012 A Selection Committee consisting of representatives from the LELC, ASIS, and the International Association of Chiefs of Police’s Private Sector Liaison Committee chose the winners from among nine applications. In their application, the Orlando-based organizations acknowledged reluctance for law enforcement to share “information, crime trends, strategy, and training techniques” with the private sector. The solution for the Orange County Sheriff ’s Office and the private sector evolved over the course of many years. The sectors “purposefully and diligently” worked to establish an environment of mutual trust. “We take great pride in the partnership between the public and private sectors. The Simeone Award is symbolic of years of trust building and risk taking culminating in a model strategy aimed at protecting and preserving the Orlando/Orange County brand,” says Greater Orlando Vice Chair Gregory Moore, security director of the Mall at Millenia. “Orlando/ Orange County saw 55 million visitors in 2011, making this partnership a critical factor in the success of the region.” In cooperation with the private sector, local law enforcement developed specialized units known as Tourist Oriented Police Services to protect, educate, and serve Orlando’s tourist population. “We are honored to receive this award. Every day we see the positive results of community partnerships with the attractions, hotels, and restaurants in Orange County’s tourist corridor. The evidence is clear that we accomplish more together than we do apart,” states Sergeant Doug Sarubbi, Orange County Sheriff ’s Office. The partnership has seen participation grow steadily over the 16 years since it was established. All parties have equal input and opportunity to voice concerns, recommendations, and feedback. Information flows in both directions and meetings are steered by leading members of both the public and private sectors. “Walls of silence and the silo mentalities of yesteryear are no longer acceptable to anyone who holds a highly responsible position of security within their community. Security leaders in both sectors recognize that rapport, reciprocity, and cooperation to share appropriate intelligence helps foster and facilitate strategic alliances with essential stakeholders within the law enforcement and private security community. The Simeone Award recognizes the outstanding partner- We take great pride in the partnership between the public and private sectors. ship efforts taking place nationally and internationally,” states Oksana Farber, chair of Award Selection Committee. One representative from the private and public sector will receive an all-expenses paid trip to attend the ASIS 58th Annual Seminar and Exhibits in Philadelphia, where the award will be formally presented at the Wednesday, September 12, networking luncheon honoring law enforcement professionals. ◆ 9 Education Executive Education Options T here are no limits to the ways ASIS International’s educational partnerships can help security executives move ahead in their careers. Top-notch academic institutions on both sides of the Atlantic have partnered with ASIS to offer advanced educational degrees centered on the qualities of leadership needed to succeed in today’s international business climate. A variety of options can be considered. Leadership Certificate. The Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania and ASIS International offer a two-week course in core business knowledge taught by the same faculty used in Wharton’s top-ranked MBA program. This program is geared toward senior-level chief security officers and others in high-level security management positions. The course, a resident program based in Philadelphia, is offered over two weeks, separated by a two-month hiatus. The first half of the current iteration is being held from November 26 to 30. The second week, also held in Philadelphia, will take place from January 28 to February 1, 2013. Enrollment in the course, which was developed by Wharton at the request of ASIS, is not open to the general public. Participants receive a certificate from the Wharton School and ASIS upon completion of the two-week program. The curriculum covers the core business concepts to enhance participants’ strategic perspectives and sharpen their business instincts. Modules bridge theory and practice on such topics as strategic thinking, managing people, negotiation, finance, and marketing. Emphasis is also placed on communicating effectively with other corporate leaders, especially when tackling the bottom-line implications of security decisions. In the first week, participants are given a tour of the Gettysburg Battlefield to learn lessons on leadership and strategy from those remarkable days in history. The second week includes a day immersed in negotiation and persuasion. At the end of the course, each participant prepares a 100-day action plan geared to specific work requirements and settings. “My primary reason for attending the program was for continued personal development and to gain a Photo by Luis Garcia IE Business School in Madrid, Spain, will partner with ASIS for a one-week course in June 2013. 10 better understanding of business practices to better position our security needs within normal business parameters,” says Timothy Parker, CPP, PCI, manager of Corporate Security for L.L. Bean. “One of the main benefits of the program was being with other specialists in the same industry…trading experiences with them…finding out what worked and what didn’t.” When in Spain. ASIS International and the IE Business School in Madrid, Spain, have partnered to offer Effective Management for Security Professionals, a one-week course that will be held from June 4 to 7, 2013. This executive program is specifically designed to assist midto senior-level security managers in developing their business acumen. IE Business School’s Executive Education Division has been ranked among the top 15 in the world based on its prestigious faculty, excellent academic programs, and international focus. Upon successful completion of the program, executives will be awarded an IE Business School/ ASIS certificate of participation. The program focuses on business fundamentals and will help participants develop a salient voice in business matters. The content pushes participants beyond simply acquiring new knowledge and skills and is built around interactive discussions, case studies, and teamwork. Participants are exposed to the frameworks and tools they will need to succeed in an international and competitive business environment. During the week-long program, participants will develop a strategic understanding of the role of security management as an enabler of business success and present a sound business case for their security initiatives to ensure funding.

SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2012 11 CSO Roundtable CSO Roundtable Holds Congress in Mexico by Michael Gips A t the first sign of a crisis in a country where they have a presence but are not based, many companies prepare to evacuate or otherwise provide for expatriates who might be in danger. But what about country nationals? Often they are ignored or are afterthoughts. This was the leadoff topic at the 2nd Annual CSO Roundtable Congress, held in conjunction with the Mexico City Chapter’s annual “congreso” on July 11. Antonio Gaona Rosete, head of security for the large retail chain Soriana, and Héctor Coronado Navarro, CPP, Latin America security director for Hewlett Packard, led a lively discussion covering cultural norms, legal implications, ethics, and cost factors influencing duty of care. As an example of culture dictating duty of care, one Mexican company wanted its U.S. employees to fly just two weeks after 9-11. “As Mexicans, we didn’t understand” their reluctance to travel, one attendee said. The company’s U.S.-based attorneys eventually recommended that the U.S. employees not be made to fly out of respect for the travelers’ fear and the national trauma of 9-11. At what point do you also evacuate country nationals who live in-country and have a whole support system there? It gets tricky asking the nonevacuees “to keep the office clean” until everyone else comes back, said Gaona. Being left behind may foster resentment, which undermines loyalty, he said. Still, Coronado pointed out, expats are often owed a greater duty of care by employers because they are less familiar with the language, culture, and the geography than nationals are. And sometimes country nationals may be more similar to expats, as when a Mexican employee from one region is assigned to a region with a markedly different culture. Companies should avoid creating such “internal expats,” said Coronado. Segueing from this discussion into an open panel on issues in Mexico, presenters and attendees discussed topics such as cartels, police and legal reform, natural disasters, the increasing use of IEDs, and the wisdom of legalizing Mexico Chapter Leaders, ASIS CSO Staff, and ASIS President Eduard Emde (fourth from left) at the Annual CSO Roundtable Conference. 12 drugs. Several of the panelists said that the problems in Mex ico are routinely blown out of proportion in news reports around the world. “Do not get caught up [worrying about] things we privately laugh at,” said Andrew Potts of Southern Pulse, an analysis firm that covers Latin America. Potts also emphasized that the threat is constantly evolving. “I guarantee you, the threat a year from now will not be the same as today,” he said. Despite Mexico’s “Wild West” image, observed Fernando Gomez Villareal, CPP, PSP, PCI, of HSBC, it would be foolish to shun investment in the country. By 2050, Mexico is forecast to be a top-ten world economy, he said. And Paul Isaac, Mexico City RSO for the U.S. State Department, added that companies must take a holistic view of risk in Mexico. Investors may find that lower legal, financial, and other risks in Mexico, as compared to their home countries, more than make up for the higher security risk. Kidnapping and ransom commanded its own panel discussion, with speakers noting that Colombia exemplifies a country having success fighting this type of crime. From the corporate perspective in Mexico, the biggest kidnap concern is express kidnapping. To reduce the threat, companies use vetted safe taxis for staff, increased lighting around the facility, and ATMs installed in their offices, among other measures. The panelists also discussed the duty of care owed to employees both when kidnappers knew the victim was an employee and when the kidnappers ASIS DY NAMICS CSO Roundtable Conference attendees took a tour of training facilities for Mexico’s federal police and viewed kidnap rescue exercises. were not aware of that connection. In many cases, the employer will offer the victims family services such as psychological support, loans, and liaison with authorities. Greg Rodriguez of red24, who has handled hundreds of kidnapping retrieval cases in Mexico, also offered practical tips such as not to use armored vehicles between Monterrey and Matamoros, since they attract attention from kidnappers. The final panel of the day addressed issues beyond Mexico, into Central and South America. Jaime Owens, CPP, of the Panama Canal Authority pointed out that of the 25 most dangerous cities in the world, nine are in Mexico and six are in Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. And the homicide rate in the region is highest in Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala, with the former two countries trending even higher. Still, Owens also stressed the abundance of investment opportunities in the region, noting that many Latin American countries will trounce the growth of the GNP of the United States in 2012, led by Panama at a robust 8 percent. Arturo Aceves, a CSO at a food-ingredients company, pointed out as well that Peru, Chile, and Uruguay showed strong growth in 2011.

Monday. On Monday, September 19, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., the session “A CSO’s Guide to New Emerging Markets” will take place. Colombia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey, and South Africa— known as CIVETS—may be the next hot emerging markets. Some analysts claim that CIVETS will replace BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) as key targets for foreign investment. This session will provide a look at what these countries have in common, what their economies are expected to do in the next few years, and where the business risks and opportunities can be found. Speaker Robert Powell, Economist Intelligence Unit, will lead the discussion. Monday from 1:45 p.m. to 3 p.m. is the session “The Value of Corporate Rebels and Heretics.” Rebels— change agents, not troublemakers— and corporate heretics are motivated by the ability to make a difference within an organization. Most companies don’t know how to tap into the value they provide, such as calling out issues that others are afraid to mention, challenging ineffective “sacred cow” practices, and seeing new ways to solve problems. Session leader Carmen Medina of Deloitte, who is former deputy director of intelligence at the CIA, will examine the role of the corporate rebel and heretic in creating a culture of innovation and change. This session is also open to Women in Security and Young Professionals. Tuesday. Tuesday, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., Dawn Scalici, deputy under secretary for analysis at the Office of Intelligence and Analysis at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, will lead a discussion on a range of threats to multinational corporations titled “Discussion with DHS: Emerging Threats.” The session will include a look at threats to critical infrastructure and air travel, emerging cyberthreats, and domestic extremism. From 1:45 p.m. to 3 p.m., the session “Public Demonstrations: A Security Blueprint for Shareholder Meeting Success” will take place. Several major companies were targeted by the Occupy Wall Street movement and various special interest groups in the midst of annual shareholder meetings. Despite the presence of hundreds of protesters, most of the meetings were held without significant incident, thanks to lessons learned from each demonstration and advanced preparation. Kevin Smith, CPP, of Sallie Mae, Inc., and Michael Bacon, CPP, of Wells Fargo will share their experiences with session attendees. Wednesday. From 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Wednesday, Ty Richmond, CPP, of Sony Pictures Entertainment and Aaron Graham, CPP, of Endo Pharmaceuticals will lead “You’re the New CSO—Now What?” Today’s CSOs are expected to have the leadership, business, and emotional intelligence to interface and operate within the C-suite. As a new CSO, one of the key factors leading to success is being able to assess an organization’s processes, technology, and risk levels. Learn the tools and steps to ensure success in this important session. Finally, “Where Organizational Resilience Meets Crisis Management” will take place from 1:45 p.m. to 3 p.m. The ASIS Organizational Resilience Standard is a powerful tool that can ensure an organization’s ability to bounce back after a disaster. But how does organizational resilience mesh with security, business continuity, crisis management, and other vital areas of the company? What are the consequences if resilience, business continuity, and crisis management do not fall under the security department’s purview? Find out how to lead a convergence of these areas from Scott Watson, CPP, Boston Private Bank & Trust Company, along with Daniel Donohue, CPP, and Don Knox, CPP, of Caterpillar. ◆ ASIS DY NAMICS Foundation Apply and Win SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2012 Phoenix Rising T he ASIS International Foundation has announced the winners of a new award that grants two full-tuition scholarships to the University of Phoenix. Each scholarship allows a student to complete an undergraduate or master’s degree through the university’s College of Criminal Justice and Security. Recipients may choose to complete their studies on campus or online. The 2012 winners are ASIS members Wade Meadows, Jr., and Brett Smith, PSP. Delaware Chapter member Meadows is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force and is a site security leader at DuPont Experimental Station in Wilmington. He will be pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Meadows Smith Criminal Justice. In three essays written as a part of the application process, Meadows pointed out the complex role of security in the future. “While physical threats remain a concern,” he wrote, “they have been joined by virtual and systemic threats that previous generations could not have conceived of.” Noting that security has become an integral part of a company’s ability to compete in the global marketplace, Meadows acknowledged that “education in security and criminal justice today is an absolute necessity for those who wish to protect both the public and private sectors.” Meadows hopes that his bachelor’s degree will help him gain a new skill set aside from what he learned in the service. Canadian Pacific Chapter member Smith is a security officer at The Fairmont Express hotel in Victoria, British Columbia. Smith will pursue a bachelor’s degree in organizational security and management. In his essays, Smith noted that “people in charge of security [must] have an appropriately positioned security focus stemming from relevant educa- 15 Photo by John Oram T he deadlines for two ASIS International Foundation awards are fast approaching.

Smith realized that he needed that degree to move ahead. “The whole industry is under scrutiny for any event that occurs, no matter where located or how isolated,” he continued. “An education from the University of Phoenix will allow me to get more out of my work and, in turn, give back to my work and profession.” “Partnering with the ASIS Foundation to offer two fulltuition scholarships is an exciting development for the College of Criminal Justice and Security. Like ASIS, we believe in the safety and security of our communities, and it is our goal to provide access to education for our criminal justice and security leaders as they work to protect our community’s infrastructure,” says Dean James Ness, College of Criminal Justice and Security. ASIS is committed to the success of security professionals and their overall growth in the field. The recipients were chosen by an ASIS panel that evaluated applications and essays submitted by scholarship candidates. Applicants had to be a member of ASIS for two consecutive years. Recipients may attend classes online or at one of University of Phoenix’s more than 200 locations. “Security continues to be an important field to develop and staff with skilled professionals. As security measures heighten and technology continues to expand, it is important that we offer the best programs and materials to our members. ASIS thinks that the programs at University of Phoenix align with our goal to develop and train security professionals,” notes Barbara Buzzell, ASIS Foundation manager.

PSCs. This year, ASIS has released four new standards, including the Management System for Quality of Private Security Company Operations (PSC.1) to Physical Asset Protection Standard. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) announced that PSC.1 will be required for DoD contracting. “Contract management activities within the Defense Department will use both of these standards in their auditing and oversight in the same way other management standards currently used. Implementing policy letters have already been issued and revisions to the Defense Department contracting procedures are underway,” says Christopher A S I S S TA N D A R D S A N D G U I D E L I N E S U P D AT E ASIS INTERNATIONAL regularly provides the status of standards and guidelines so that members and others can be apprised of progress. Visit www.asisonline.org/standards to access and learn the latest status of each standard or guideline. STANDARDS UNDER DEVELOPMENT Auditing Management Systems for Security, Preparedness, and Continuity Management with Guidance for Application: This standard refers to the systematic, objective activities undertaken to evaluate or audit management system performance for security, preparedness, and continuity management.

PSC.1 originated in 2011, when ASIS was contracted by the DoD to develop a management standard for private security companies working in areas of the world where rule of law has been weakened due to conflict or natural disasters. The result was the world’s first standard to support the International Code of Conduct for Private Security Service Providers. The technical committee secured broad representation—200 members ations (PSC) Standard. This standard sets out requirements for bodies providing auditing and third-party certification of private security company operations (private security providers working for any client). Management System for Quality of Private Security Company Operations—Requirements with Guidance (2012): This standard provides requirements and guidance for a management system with auditable criteria for the Quality of PSC Standard, building on the Montreux Document on pertinent legal and security companies in conditions where the rule of law has been undermined by conflict or disaster. This standard provides auditable requirements based on the plan-do-check-act model for third-party certification of PSC operations. Organizational Resilience Maturity Model: Phased Implementation (2012): This standard describes a phased implementation of the Organizational Resilience Standard as a series of steps designed to help organizations evaluate where they stand with regard to resilience management and pre paredness, to set goals, to benchmark where they are relative to those goals, and to plot a business-sensible path to get there.

Asset protection. The Physical Asset Protection Standard was developed by a technical committee of more than 80 members from 17 countries. United Kingdom Chapter members developed the baseline document that served as the starting point for the committee’s work. The finished product provides a comprehensive management approach to identify, apply, and manage physical security measures to safeguard an organization’s assets—its people, property, and information. “All organizations face risk,” states Allison Wylde, cochair of the Physical Asset Protection Technical Committee and course leader, MSc project management, London Metropolitan Business School. “The challenge is to determine how much risk is acceptable and then how to cost-effectively manage risk to meet strategic and operational objectives. This standard helps practitioners determine the appropriate balance between these competing demands.” In 2010, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security recognized the ASIS Organizational Resilience standard (SPC.1) as one of three national preparedness standards in its voluntary private sector preparedness program, otherwise known as PS-Prep. The need for these standards was sparked by the events of 9-11, but other disasters such as BP’s 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the 2011 tsu nami that seriously damaged Japan’s nuclear power plants have shown the need for security practitioners to have proactive plans to protect assets as well as to respond to and Coming soon! Rediscover ASIS online... CONNECT, INTERACT, EXPLORE The new www.asisonline.org 20 ensure continuity of operations in the event of a disaster. The SPC.1 provides auditable criteria and guidance to ensure resilience of operations before, during, and after a disruptive event. It is so popular that it has been adopted by several European countries and serves as the basis for the ISO 28002 standard. Organizational resilience. In April, ASIS released the ANSI/ASIS Organizational Resilience Maturity Model (SPC.4), which provides guidance for the implementation of the Organizational Resilience Standard in six phases. “The maturity model helps organizations achieve the benefits of resilience management by “phasing in” a system tied to their specific business needs and economic realities,” says Dr. Marc Siegel, commissioner, ASIS Global Standards Initiative. “Building the management system in a phased approach, and achieving benchmarks of maturity, provides the organization with link between costs and value added.” ASIS is now working on three additional resilience standards: SPC.2, auditing management systems for security, preparedness, and continuity management; SPC.3, resilience in organizations and their supply chains; and SPC.5, community resilience. MOUs. The Society has partnered with other leading standard developing organizations to secure broad adoption of ASIS standards. In 2010, ASIS collaborated with BSI on the ANSI/ASIS/BSI.BCM.1 Business Continuity Management System Standard, and in 2011, ASIS partnered with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) on the Workplace Violence Prevention and Intervention Standard. These successful partnerships laid the groundwork for two recently signed MOUs, one for a risk assessment standard with the Risk Management Society and the other for an investigations standard with the SHRM. Work on these projects will begin later this year. ◆ ASIS DY NAMICS Certification Add a Degree M embers of ASIS International will be able to build on their professional development by applying their Certified Protection Professional® (CPP) or Physical Security Professional® (PSP) certifications toward a bachelor’s degree. the College of Criminal Justice and Security for the University of Phoenix. “Combining ASIS’s globally recognized certifications with our program offers ASIS member certificants the opportunity to elevate their understanding of today’s security needs and better equip them as leaders in their field.” For more information on the program, visit www.asisonline.org/ certification.

Minot started his career in 2002 as a consultant in France, and then later moved to Denmark to join the AP Moller Maersk Group, where he worked his way up to global head of security and HSE for Damco, the company’s logistics branch. He joined ASIS in 2006, serving as vice president for the France Chapter and later becoming chapter chair in 2007 and 2008. Minot is currently Antoine Minot a member of the ASIS European Advisory Council as the Young Professionals’ (YP) representative. He also serves on the Young Professionals steering committee as well as the review board of French security research magazine Les Cahiers de la Sécurité Privée. Q: What drew you to the security industry, and how did you take your first steps into the field? A: My first student job was a little before I was 17, as a security guard. I did this for about three years alongside my studies, and I still see this job as one of the best I have ever had in my career. This is how I learned that I wanted to work in the security industry. In 2002, I obtained a master’s degree through a Parisian university together with the Institut des Hautes Etudes de Sécurité Intérieure (part of the French Ministry of Interior), and started my professional career as a security consultant. Q: What is your role within GlaxoSmithKline? A: I am a regional security adviser and am responsible for the Europe and Africa region. My role, as a member of the corporate security and investigation team, is to assist the business in securing our people, activities, and assets from a broad range of threats, in alignment with our business objectives. Q: What do you think are the most important attributes of successful people? A: I think successful people are those who ensure that they are aligned with the values of their company and participate in reaching the overall objectives. This means that they are the ones who are able to understand their business’s needs and ensure that any action they are taking matches these needs. This is probably an area where young professionals can help develop a positive impact on the overall profession. I will also add that the individuals who are sustainably successful in the security area are those who also demonstrate the highest level of integrity and display unquestionably ethical behavior. This is important whether you are a young professional or an older one. Q: What do you think is the biggest obstacle facing young security professionals today? ASIS DY NAMICS A: There are several obstacles— certainly not just one. One of the major challenges is to gain credibility and ensure that the organization understands the benefits of employing a young professional as part of a broader security team—but this is certainly the case in all job functions. A cliché about security is that good professionals must have years and years of experience. While experience is a clear advantage from which young professionals can learn, I am also firmly convinced that young professionals can bring a new and different perspective to the challenges of the security organization. I would also add that, in other fields, quite a few examples of successful young professionals can be found: Bill Gates started Microsoft when he was around 20 and released the first version of Windows when he was 25. As a Frenchman, I should also say that Napoleon was successful as a “young professional” He was emperor at 35 and one of his major victories took place when he was 36. But he was less successful as an experienced professional: He was 46 when defeated at Waterloo. Q: What would you say to a young professional considering the security field? A: I would definitely say, “Go ahead!” First, because the job is great: you have to interact with a lot of people to understand the complexity of the organization, and you don’t know what the next day, or sometimes even the next hour, will be like. Secondly, and in particular in parts of Europe, the profession is undergoing major changes and is becoming a tangible career path, meaning that those responsible for the security of their organizations can now be recognized as company leaders adding to the bottom line. They might sometimes report to the highest level of the company. There are true security organizational structures that are being implemented with plenty of career opportunities for young professionals, which was not necessarily true until recently. SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2012 Q: What is your leadership philosophy? A: I was given a great piece of wisdom by one of my managers when I started working for GlaxoSmithKline’s corporate security and investigations department: “Individual failure is not an option, because we are a team.” This fits very well with my own philosophy, that leaders are not just giving instructions and hoping their objectives are being fulfilled. Rather, they are coaching, mentoring, and leading to ensure that those below them are working in a constructive environment, and that they are empowered and provided with whatever they need to achieve great results and grow in the organization. The other aspect of leading for me is that you must never consider respect as a given, but very much as something you need to earn on a daily basis through your actions and behaviors. It can take years to earn respect from others, but one second is sometimes enough to lose it all. Q: What area of the security field do you think shows the greatest potential for growth, and how do you plan to meet this change? A: I don’t think there is one single security field that has the greatest potential for growth. The common factor will always be the value this field adds to the company’s bottom line. For instance, the intelligent use of technology to complement or reduce manned guarding costs has proven to be a massive area of interest in past years, and will probably continue to be so as companies aim to reduce their operational expenses. necessarily related to our daily professional field. In that sense, yes, it does facilitate the transnational experience. Q: Has ASIS membership introduced you to an international security community, and if so, has this given you an advantage in your field? A: It has, and very much so. The consultancy company I was working for was focused exclusively on the French territory and I had absolutely no interaction with the international community. After a couple of years, I discovered ASIS and a very different vision of what the corporate security sector was in other countries, as compared to France. I am not saying that it was any better or worse, but it was different, both in the general approach to security and around the focus areas that are being covered. It is a bit like speaking several languages and understanding several cultures. It is clearly an advantage. ◆ Timothy J.

Q: Do you find that the YP initiative makes it easier to gain a transnational perspective of the security industry? A: Because I work for a global company that promotes diversity and open discussions, I am lucky enough to benefit from a transnational perspective of the security industry already.
