Concerns of the Corporate Security Officer
During their 2011 compensation survey of CSOs, SSR Executive Profiles asked 28 April 2011
them to identify
challenges for 2012-13 . The survey reflects those in operating
in the UK and Internationally.
Domestic concerns for 2012 are dominated by the
Olympics and the forthcoming Bribery Act.
Ever growing dangers of counterfeit
products that kill , maim or just dilute profits are
concerning as this may be
accompanied by trading in riskier counties . But at Board level the
dashboard
prioritises the environment & sustainability.

ith the employment downturn in many
regions of the world, it would be an
expectation that recruiting the right person for
that next job would be easy! For the
security
professional you might expect there to be a
surplus of talent to job opportunity.
This is not

Security is that
misunderstood word
which holistically means
‘health’ rather than the
traditional non-pragmatic
‘response function’. In the
current economic conditions
there will be opportunities for
you to deliver greater benefits
than in the past.
In 2009 security executives
are an organisation’s health
advisors, measuring many risks,
identifying the potential
outcomes, mitigation and
defending the reputation of the

Getting a Job in the UK Security Industry
Security is high on the UK agenda and now there is virtually no
major public 08 September 2008
or private organisation without a team dedicated to
managing issues of
security. The market is strong and rapidly
expanding.
Operational managers, like most of us, tend to spend little of
their time recruiting 17 July 2008
people and so often have a view of recruitment that is based on
their own
situation and background and not impartial, says Peter French, of
recruitment
firm SSR®.
For the Olympics you have to develop an approach to a security
culture
that
11 July 2008
balances volunteers and paid workers to cover the functions of
security,
supervised by technology.
