 'Insiders' is the term used to refer to contractors or staff who try to use their legitimate access to an organization's assets for unauthorised purposes. The UK Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI), the government authority that provides advice on protecting the country’s essential services, facilities and networks from terrorism and other threats, has published updated guidance on managing such threats.
‘Ongoing personnel security: a good practice guide - Edition two’ has been written for government departments and organizations that own or operate assets, services and systems which form part of the UK’s national infrastructure. It is intended to support the people in those organizations who work in human resources and security departments and those with line management responsibilities, all of whom have a role in creating and maintaining a culture of effective ongoing personnel security.
The guidance provides information about good practice in ongoing personnel security, bringing together advice from government departments and private organisations in a single document focusing on the key elements of an effective security culture. The document also draws on research commissioned by CPNI and completed by Adrian Furnham and John Taylor in the area of counter-productive work behaviours.
