Understanding Security Needs Assessments
What is a Security Needs Assessment?
A Security Needs Assessment (SNA) evaluates the security risks associated with a proposed development. It involves identifying security vulnerabilities and recommending appropriate mitigation methods, helping to reduce potential threats and keep building users safe.
These assessments are often a requirement in planning applications, particularly for high-profile or sensitive projects. If you’re working towards BREEAM certification, Security Needs Assessments can also aid you in achieving vital credits for Hea 06.
What is SABRE?
SABRE is a security risk management certification scheme developed by BRE Global. It provides a structured framework for assessing and improving security measures in buildings and infrastructure projects. Being certified under SABRE demonstrates your commitment to robust security planning and risk management, helping to add value to your development and reassure stakeholders that the structure is safe and secure.
