Description
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to analyse the threat level and context, and risks of active threats to sites. It includes identifying plausible threat scenarios and evaluating impact of loss and vulnerability ratings to identify potential risks from an active threat and devise required mitigation strategies. The unit supports Australian national security initiatives for counter-terrorism.This unit is suitable for those using a broad range of cognitive, technical and communication skills to select and apply methods and technologies to analyse information and provide solutions to sometimes complex problems.Legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply in some states and territories to the provision of advice on security solutions, strategies, protocols and procedures. For further information, check with the relevant regulatory authority.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Analyse threat level and context.
  • 1.1 Access national terrorism threat advisory system and networks to interpret latest security threat intelligence.
  • 1.2 Assess site to ascertain attractiveness to terrorist threat and formulate potential active threat scenarios.
  • 1.3 Source and interpret information to clarify nature and use of site and evaluate likelihood of threat occurrence.
  • 1.4 Establish criteria to quantify threat levels for each identified threat to identify plausible threat scenarios.
  • 1.5 Document results of threat analysis and provide evidence to support plausibility of threat scenarios.
2 Analyse risk of active threat.
  • 2.1 Interpret security and risk management plans and information to identify assessed security risks and treatments implemented to protect site.
  • 2.2 Assess plausible threat scenarios to clarify vulnerability to attack and impact of loss from a successful attack.
  • 2.3 Define and apply ratings for impact of loss and vulnerability to identify additional required security protections.
  • 2.4 Document results of risk analysis and provide evidence to support recommended additional security protections.
3 Devise strategies to identify and respond to active threat.
  • 3.1 Evaluate combination of impact of loss and vulnerability ratings to identify potential risks from an active threat.
  • 3.2 Identify and recommend strategies to mitigate specific threats and risks to the site in the event of an active threat.
  • 3.3 Use technology and analytical reporting programs to document strategies, analysis findings and supporting evidence in the required format and style.
  • 3.4 Present report to relevant persons within agreed timeframes and explain threats, risks and strategies to enhance understanding and acceptance of recommendations.
  • 3.5 Complete and secure client documentation in a manner that facilitates future retrieval and maintains confidentiality.
