77 NWPCA Fire Code Compliance Manual for Outdoor Storage of Wood Pallets | Version 1.0 (December 2017) Depending on site specific conditions, other considerations may be incorporated into the Security Management Plan. Security Vulnerability Assessment (SVA) The security plan should document the protection of an organization's defined critical assets. Assets should be classified by risk. A security plan should include a security vulnerability assessment (SVA). The property building owner, or owner's designated representative should be responsible for the SVA. Security planning should begin with the SVA [NFPA 730 §5]. An SVA should assess the current status of an organization's vulnerabilities, including but not limited to threat exposures, security features, and preparedness. The assessment should include but not be limited to the following steps [NFPA 730 §5.2]: (1) Step 1: Formation of team. Form a team of personnel from pertinent organizational areas and other stakeholders. (2) Step 2: Organization/facility characterization. Characterize the organization and the facilities to be protected. (3) Step 3: Threat assessment. Classify threats using an assessment process that includes but is not limited to the following: a. Classification of critical assets b. Identification of potential targets c. Consequence analysis (i.e., effect of loss, including potential off-site consequences) d. Definition of potential threats (i.e., identifying potential adversaries and what is known about them) (4) Step 4: Threat vulnerability analysis. Conduct a threat vulnerability analysis identifying actual and potential threat scenarios and estimate a relative security risk level. (5) Step 5: Define specific security countermeasures. Define countermeasures using information from the previous four steps, including characterization, threat, and vulnerability analysis. (6) Step 6: Assess risk reduction. Reassess the relative security risk levels developed in Step 4, taking into account the countermeasures defined in Step 5, and implement additional security risk reduction measures (security countermeasures) where appropriate. Step 7: Document findings and track implementation. Document findings and recommendations and track the implementation of accepted recommendations. SVA provider personnel qualified to conduct the SVA should be certified by a nationally recognized certification organization in security or crime prevention [NFPA 730 §5.3]. Security Plan The security plan should include but not be limited to the following [NFPA 730 §5.4.1]: Statement of purpose (1) Organizational policies and procedures (2) Description of the facility and organizational structure (3) Security vulnerability assessment, including threat assessments and risks (4) Instructions for using the plan
