Security Management Plans
Institutional donors such as USAID Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) are increasingly requiring that offerors (bidders) include a Security Management Plan as part of their proposals. These are technical documents that outline how the offeror intends to manage the security of the project should they be awarded the contract. Typically, Security Management Plans are then ‘operationalized’ post-award. Intended for clients with limited in-house security management capacity, this service supports the development of award-winning bids.
Responsible organisations proactively manage the security of their projects and – critically – their personnel. Meeting duty of care obligations to these personnel is paramount. Security document reviews provide an effective way to sense check an organisation’s security strategy and planning. Having in place robust contingency plans such as Hibernation, Relocation, Evacuation (HRE) and Medical Emergency (Medevac) Plans is essential. Intended for clients looking for some focused guidance, this service supports them to design and socialise their security documents confidently.
A formal risk assessment should inform all pre-deployment planning for individuals and teams travelling to high risk locations. Proper identification of the range of context-specific safety and security risks is key to developing context-appropriate mitigating measures that can be adopted before, during, and post-deployment. Travel security management support might include development of; comprehensive risk assessments, bespoke pre-departure information advisories, and interactive pre-departure briefings. Intended for clients looking for that extra level of reassurance ahead of travel to unfamiliar locations globally.
The profile of NGO security management professionals has changed significantly in recent years. Organisations are increasingly welcoming security managers from a diverse range of backgrounds; candidates with demonstrated experience in NGO programmes, candidates who’ve served in the armed forces, and candidates keen to work in security analysis. Making a career move into the NGO sector can be a challenge without proper insights and the right advice. Intended for both current and prospective security professionals looking to take their career to the next step.
