The following are Business security tips published by the CPNI (Centre for the Protection of  National Infrastructure)

Top ten security guidelines

• assess the risks to your business
• consider security first when planning building works
• establish a security culture in your business
• keep premises clear and tidy
• control access points and use staff and visitor passes
• install physical measures e.g. locks, alarms, CCTV, lighting etc
• establish good mail handling procedures
• recruit carefully, checking identities and following up references
• take proper IT security precautions
• test your business continuity plans regularly

You should always remain alert to the danger of terrorism and report suspicious activity:

• in an emergency call 999
• call the Anti-Terrorist hotline on 0800 789 321 to report any suspicious activity
• report suspected terrorism activity to the Security Service (MI5) using their website
• report online terrorism or hate content to the police

Pavlos Joseph, the disgruntled England Fan evaded FIFA and English FA Security and confronted David Beckham IN the England Dressing Room. Moments before he gained access Princes William and Harry had been in there.

He is now appearing in a South African Magistrates Court however there seems to be little mentioned about the fact that he evaded what should have been the most secure of areas. Had he confronted Beckham when the team were on the move from, say from the Dressing Room to the team bus then that would not be unusual as long as the group were safe and he had heckled from a distance. In the dressing room is unacceptable. That should have been the most secure of areas. England have boasted that they have ex Special Forces doing Security for them. It would be interesting to know if they were involved in the Dressing Room security.

The so called heads of security should be brought to account as on the face of this Pavlos Joseph does not seem to be anyone with security knowledge who could try and evade what should have been the tightest of security.

Many Companies and organisations say they deliver high end security but the reality is very different. This is exactly the reason why we, SPP Solutions are getting involved in high end security provision based upon our attention to detail and uncompromising strive for quality we have been approached by a high end client who has asked if we can provide small well trained and motivated security teams. Watch this space.

At last we are back online after a longer absence than we would have liked. As you will be able to see, the website has changed somewhat and we are now offering far more services than before.

We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for you patience and you can now keep up to date with security issues once again. Sent via BlackBerry® from BT
