In the case of the security manager, management will cover the macro area of corporate security. It is critical to the success of an intervention that the temporary manager be provided with all the appropriate levers (especially powers and delegation where necessary).
The Temporary Manager actually represents a third way, alongside consulting and traditional management, through which the company can equip itself with resources aimed at improving performance and management capabilities.
The security manager is the point person for the organization-that is, managing and taking responsibility for a company’s security. With this in mind, such a figure, in keeping with the modern doctrine of security science, must be able to preside over risks and threats across the board in relation to the ever-changing scenarios in the technical, IT, economic, financial, etc.
The professional security manager has a good command of the business and techniques for ensuring physical security, privacy and governance and is therefore a key person who can work across the company by providing relevant support and communication skills to third parties.
The contemporary concept of security, which calls for the security manager, encompasses a very broad context of action that we believe can be summarized in a few but fundamental specific points:
- Physical security of the infrastructure;
- Controlling the protection of the enterprise’s production strategies;
- Critical infrastructure security;
- Cybersecurity;
- Employee loyalty check;
- Control of the information-communication network;
- Organization of security activities outsourced to external vendors;
- Defining a security policy;
- Top management security.
