The UK’s National Security Advice Centre and National Infrastructure Security Coordination Centre have merged to form the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI). From 1st February 2007, CPNI will provide protective security advice to the businesses and organisations that combine to form the national critical infrastructure.
The CPNI website presents a range of security advice including information on threats, security planning, methods of attack and asset protection.
CPNI’s current top ten security guidelines are as follows:
* Assess the risks to your business
* Consider security first when planning building works
* Establish a security culture in your business
* Keep premises clear and tidy
* Control access points and use staff and visitor passes
* Install physical measures e.g. locks, alarms, CCTV, lighting etc
* Establish good mail handling procedures
* Recruit carefully, checking identities and following up references
* Take proper IT security precautions
* Test your business continuity plans regularly.
