Types and extent of data significant to monitoring and assessing security threats to certain persons and facilities

Abstract

Basic and special types of data necessary for monitoring and assessing security threats to certain persons and facilities are defined based on the analysis of historical data, legislature, manuals, security plans and other documents that regulate working of security services in the Republic of Serbia and foreign countries (the USA, the Russian Federation, Germany, Slovakia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), as well as UNDSS and OSCE, on the deduction of planned measures for security of certain persons and facilities, and on the PESTLE analysis. These types of data are related to: a) sources of threats, b) targets of threats, c) ways of threats, d) time and place of endangering of security. Collection, processing, and analysis of security data about sources of threats, ways of threats and time and place of endangering of security should provide an overview of the security situation in relation to the environment and the protection unit which undertakes security measures, and connects data to possible endangering of security of certain persons and facilities. Thus, a causal link is established and it can be seen in the activity of the heads of protection units (defined by their decisions and security plans) in order to prevent endangering of security. In the conclusion, security threat assessment for certain persons and facilities depends on the types and extent of data collected, and they are linked to consequences that could occur if appropriate measures are not taken.
