The Security Considerations Assessment (SCA) process ensures security-related vulnerabilities are considered across a range of activities and processes within an organisation. This includes physical, personnel, cyber and cross-cutting security measures.
Implementing the SCA should lead to fewer security-related changes being required at a later stage. It also reduces the chance of repeating mistakes that may have compromised security in the past.
The SCA process should be used by those who are accountable and responsible for actions across the built environment. These includes activities such as planning, design, construction and manufacturing. It is also for organisations who wish to embed security-mindedness, or protect their commercial information, personal data and intellectual property.
