Situation Centre in the Private Sector

Abstract

The security challenges of the 21st century affect global economy and the operation of multinational corporations. In these circumstances the crisis management code of practice of large corporations needs to be elaborated on the basis of military science, a large corporation which demands crisis management on two levels: strategic and operational. Internal regulations, security standards, security personnel, and security technology defends a company’s assets (both material and immaterial). The situation centre ties together these elements and subsystems, and serves as a central steering unit for crisis management along with the various operations units. The Situation Centre makes sure that the security situation of the company is adjusted to a certain risk level that is still acceptable for the company.
