Security risk assessment
Security Overlay to the RIBA Plan of Work, published by the RIBA in 2023, states: ‘The Security Risk Assessment takes the threats identified and assesses the likelihood and impact these being relevant to a given site, prioritises them and identifies those which require mitigation. There is no set methodology for carrying out a Security Risk Assessment and it can be done as part of a project’s main risk assessments. The resultant risk register may look to work in tandem with the Security Requirements by providing the initial steer to the design team in how each risk should be dealt with.’
'The Security Risk Assessment is both a process that defines the threats relevant to a particular project on a specific
site, including the nature of the building, its occupants, and the risks associated with each, and is also the document
which captures these.'
