ASIS UK, WIS SUMMER MEETING Dawn Holmes CPP
On the 10th July at Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s Canary Wharf office, the first ASIS Women in Security event in a long time was held. It was the first event that I had ever organised and couldn’t have done it without the help of Amanda McCloskey (CIS Security), Graham Bassett and Steve Emmins; these things seem to just ‘happen’ when you are a participant and I soon learnt that it is not that straight forward when you are actually organising things yourself! As I’ve said, this was the first event in a long time, which gave me the opportunity to try something a bit different. Whilst wanting it to be aimed at women in the industry, I didn’t want it to be exclusive: a theme we will be developing throughout our meetings will be “Creating a Community”, where like-minded people can go for support, advice, or to just talk through things and that men would benefit from attending just as much as women. I also had feedback about what people wanted/what they thought about other events, and lots of people came back saying that security can be a bit of an ‘Old Boys Club’ and if you don’t fit in/have the right background etc, networking at these events is sometimes an uphill struggle. We therefore decided that we wanted
to do this first session on networking and I wanted people to come away from this meeting feeling a little bit more confident about the next networking event that they attended. I also liked that this isn’t something that only women would benefit from, but anyone new to the industry, or those who have joined security through untraditional routes. We found Vanessa King (The Fire Inside) who coaches people for public speaking and asked her to help us with the event. It was a small group (23 people) and Vanessa organised an interactive event, lots of group activity under the theme of networking. We all sat down in very respectablelooking theatre style seating, politely leaving the usual gaps inbetween us and others we didn’t know, people avoiding the front rows etc. After a brief introduction, the chairs were chucked around the room and we got on to our first networking exercise. It was fun, broke the ice, but got us all thinking about the value of networking. We then looked at how to approach a group, using body language as a guide to work out who is the best person/group to approach, so we aren’t just hovering and trying to squeeze into conversations and looking like social lepers when we can’t get
into a group. We also, very importantly, learnt how to ditch someone who is boring - the secret of this, we will not tell!! Our final group activity was working on a 60 second elevator pitch; the trick of this is to leave a person wanting to learn more and that if you come across as if you are trying to sell something, people will switch off, but if you can get them interested in a solution you can offer without going on too much about your product, people will be interested in understanding more about what you do. We learnt that no one (no matter how well connected and confident) really likes being put on the spot and doing these pitches and that it is something that we can all learn to improve upon. One of the things I really liked about the event is that I think most people spoke to everyone around the room: we didn’t just stick to the couple of people who we knew, but actually spent a lot of time learning more about the other people with us. One of the things the WSS encourages for their networking (an unwritten rule that they have) is that after the event, you must speak to someone who you have never met before and I think this is a philosophy that we should adopt too. The last part of the meeting was a group discussion as to how we want to progress the group, the best way to communicate; how we can create a community that supports the group (without being too salesy). Again, it was really refreshing to see group participation, people genuinely interested in how we can develop continued on page 4

CHAIRMAN’S NOTES
Chairman’s notes Dear colleagues, welcome to the autumn newsletter. We've seen some real highs and lows in the world of security, during the summer. On a positive note IFSEC's first London based event was highly successful and gave many people the opportunity to attend for the first time. Clearly some of our friends in the north will not have been able to attend, but Professional Security's TWENTY 14 roadshow has been all across the country, bringing all parts of the profession together. On a sadder note we have seen an escalation of violence in Israel and Gaza. The kidnap and murder of three young Israeli men sparked reprisals that have escalated and reopened old wounds. The conflict in Eastern Ukraine between Pro Russian separatists and the Ukrainian government reached a new low in July when a Malaysian Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was blown out of the sky over disputed territory with the deaths of hundreds of innocent lives. These two deeply sad events must serve as a reminder to us of the delicate balance between peace and conflict and the responsibilities that we have as security professionals to prepare our respective
organisations, employees and customers for the possibility of danger or conflict in our daily lives. In the 9 years since the attacks of 7/7 we have enjoyed a good degree of improved safety, largely due to the technology and innovations conceived, designed and brought to the market by many Andy Williams of our members. But this is a fragile position and we must all remain alert to the dangers of extremism, not least from the potential threat posed by the radicalised and well trained British and Europeans returning from Syria. Ending on a positive note, it is really encouraging to see the Security Profession coming together in the preparation and planning for the Joint Security Associations Fundraising Event. This Black Tie dinner which will be held on 30th September at the Tower Grange Hotel in London is expected to raise over £40,000 to be split between St Giles Trust and PTSD Resolution.

WOMEN IN SECURITY
I learnt a lot from this first event: running these events isn’t as easy as it looks; that I was really lucky to be surrounded by a group of people who were just as passionate at progressing this as I am; and was really encouraged by the brilliant responses from everyone that wine is very important.
the group, it also meant I was talking less (which we all probably thought was a good thing!!). We finished the event networking like there was no tomorrow, everyone giving really positive feedback and leaving looking happy (if not a bit sloshed)!!
We are now looking at planning the next event, (we are happy to work with anyone who would like to see us tackling a particular topic, so just let me know if you want something raising). We are eager to complement the existing Women’s groups: there is room for us all and my goal is that these groups all exist to give people lots of choice in the events that are available. The group consensus was that we run a more informal event, continue with the interactive activities, maybe have an annual event where we concentrate on having someone like Vanessa to
help with things like networking, presentations etc. I would like to thank everyone who attended, who made the event a huge success. Amanda, for being amazingly organised and so generous with her time, Susan for taking the photos and CIS for sponsoring the refreshments. Here’s looking to event number two - and many more . . . Thank you, Dawn Dawn Holmes CPP

ASC
“Shopping Where the Industry Shops” – An Introduction to the Association of Security Consultants (ASC).
ASIS UK Chapter and the ASC have always had a good working and supportive relationship so we are pleased to have this piece in our Newsletter – Mike Hurst, Editor. What is the ASC exactly? The ASC was set up nearly 25 years ago by some forward thinking independent security consultants who wanted to join together and commit to some stringent selfregulating to give clients the best possible experience in the knowledge that they were vetted by their peers and were totally accountable at all times. Only genuinely independent consultants are accepted as full members and since applications are scrutinised carefully by the members of the 12 strong ASC board (who may well be competitors in some form or another) the process is detailed and rigorous. ASC members’ multi-striped ties represent their broad range of backgrounds, including but not limited to police, insurance, the armed forces and the general security industry. The ASC’s patrons are Lord Peter Imbert of New Romney (former Met Police commissioner & Lord Lieutenant of Greater London), Lord Brian Mackenzie of Framwellgate, Lord James Bethell, and Air Chief Marshal Sir Stuart Peach, Vice Chief of Defence Staff.

Steve Emmins, Graham Bassett, ASC Chairman, Alan Hildage, ASIS Nominee for the ASC Imbert Prize, Commissioner Adrian Leppard QPM (CoLP) and Mike Hurst at the ASC Lunch. What has the ASC ever done for us? ( apart from the viaducts, the sanitation . . .) With apologies to Monty Python because we’re really nothing like them. That is apart from having a sense of humour, lots of experience, we make a lot of people smile, some of us are approximately the same age group . . . so well, really nothing like them at all. That’s because we are really a lot more serious for most of the time. We have to be. Our backgrounds are serious. Special Branch. Security product manufacturing. HMG/Military Security. Security risk assessments, specifying and installation. CCTV design. Integrated systems. Access control. Insurance investigations. Lock design. Securing government buildings here and abroad. Fire and burglary investigations. Designing buildings to minimise the effects of explosive devices. Patent issues. Training foreign police forces. British and European Standards compliance. Specialist product development. Market research and appraisal. Takeovers and mergers. MBOs. Security audits. Fraud investigation. Forensics. How long have you got to read the rest of the list? You get the idea.
Been there, done it, have the armour plating If it’s security related, you name it, the chances that an ASC member has considerable experience and will be well matched to help you with the issues you face, and can put a multi-skilled team together if that’s what you need. Weird or wonderful, mundane or multifacetted, the security industry shops at the ASC. Add to that all the big household names – UK government, BBC, Trading Standards, ABI, UK armed forces, many top 100 organisations, major utilities, loss adjusters, consulting engineers, leading legal firms, the list goes on. And on. ASC members sit on all the key BSI committees and so do more than just know the current Standards – they are helping to shape the ones coming along. This means that they can often save unnecessary expense by keeping clients ahead of the game. So what can the ASC do for you? Firstly it can provide anyone with a security function with a reliable, accountable and (upfront) free information resource to bounce your problems and issues off for some feedback and advice on the best available solutions. The ASC really is the security industry equivalent of cricket’s Jimmy

Anderson – England’s “go-to” bowler when you really need some effective results quickly. And yes, sometimes that does mean giving a push and a shove where merited – ASC Members’ reports and actions have helped to take a goodly number of criminals, inside and outside of clients’ organisations, out of circulation and into government ‘hotels’ and the ASC is quite proud to have done so. ASC’s Code of Conduct emphasises client confidentiality and discretion. It has to, and NDAs and Confidentiality Agreements are expected and welcomed. All advice given has to be objective and impartial, independent of suppliers of goods or services. No ifs or buts. That’s so important I’ll repeat it. All advice given has to be truly objective and impartial advice, independent of suppliers of goods or services. Often sales staff working for particular companies that supply goods or services call themselves consultants because they give advice. It’s chalk and cheese. All members are registered as Independent Security Consultants (and are able to use the post nominal RISC).
Members’ names and their individual areas of expertise and experience can be found on the ASC website www.securityconsultants.co.uk To be sure the ASC has traditionally had a low profile but individually and collectively is an integral and largely unsung vital cog in the UK security industry, working to compliment and assist ASIS and other key security industry organisations to protect people and assets, their freedom and safety. The ASC also welcomes Associate Members who work for suppliers in the industry or within corporate entities and appreciate the networking opportunities at the regular ASC business clubs and at the prestigious annual conference which this year will host the Women in Security awards.

RECENT ASIS INTERNATIONAL PUBLICATIONS
Recent ASIS International Publications Provides a framework for collecting, developing, understanding, and implementing current best practices for supply chain risk management (SCRM). It is a practitioner’s guide to SCRM and associated processes for the management of risks within the organization and its end-to-end supply chain.
Persuading Senior Management with Effective, Evaluated Security Metrics The ASIS Defense and Intelligence Council, Foundation Board of Trustees, Foundation Research Council, and ASIS International (ASIS) have collectively invested over $100,000 and countless hours to realize this comprehensive study on the development and implementation of security metrics. Security metrics are vital, but in the field and in the literature, one finds few tested metrics and little guidance on
using metrics effectively to inform and persuade senior management. To address the gap, the ASIS Foundation sponsored a major research project designed to add to the body of knowledge about security metrics and to empower security professionals to better access and present metrics. The research involved an industry survey on the use of metrics and in-depth interviews with 16 security practitioners to gather case studies of the effective metrics they employ. Other educational activities are planned to help practitioners

LAW CHANGING ON ENFORCED SUBJECT ACCESS REQUESTS – Chris Brogan The Ministry of Justice has announced that enforced subject access requests will become a criminal offence under new legislation set to be introduced on 1 December 2014.
to the Ministry of Justice’s latest announcement on 26 June 2014, the ICO said:
Enforced subject access is where individuals are forced by someone like a prospective employer to make a data protection subject access request and reveal the results to them, typically in relation to criminal conviction data.
“We welcome the news that it will become a criminal offence to require someone to make a subject access request. It is a clear perversion of an individual’s own rights, with consequences like unwarranted loss of employment opportunities. It also undermines important public policies such as the rehabilitation of offenders.
ICO Head of Strategic Liaison, Jonathan Bamford, recently blogged about the need for an urgent change to the law to protect the public. Responding
“Our next step is to develop guidance that explains exactly what this law means for organisations and for individuals. We will be

working to ensure that those who are involved in this unsavoury practice are aware they will be committing criminal offences and we will be preparing ourselves to prosecute those who are involved in the practice.”

experts in their field. With your help, we will hope to raise £40,000 to split equally between the two charities. St Giles Trust aims to break the cycle of prison, crime and disadvantage, creating safer communities by supporting people to help them change their own lives. They offer a range of services which have helped over 16,000 clients overcome any barriers which might be holding them back from moving forward. Ultimately they equip people with skills to help them live independent lives. PTSD Resolution is a charity that offers a unique counselling service to the UK armed forces, TA and Regular Reserves, including their dependents, to relieve mental health problems resulting from military service and
the traumas that they have faced. The PTSD Resolution Outreach Programme has over 200 counsellors trained in trauma-focussed cognitive behavioural therapy and provides a valuable contact point for anyone requiring counselling, complimentary to the work of the other armed forces charities. To secure tickets and a place at this very special, inaugural event there is a link on the website of all the professional bodies concerned which will take you directly to the booking page.

PARLIAMENT TRUST
The Industry and Parliament Trust The Chapter was invited to contribute to the IPT Cyber Security Commission in the production of CYBER SECURITY 2.0 Reflections on UK/EU - Cyber Security Co-operation. Our contribution was prepared by James Willison, who is Vice Chairman of the ASIS European Convergence Committee supported by Chapter Cyber Security Lead, Alan Jenkin. The full report can be downloaded at www.ipt.org.uk and a small number of hard copies will be available at the September Seminar on 11th. A representative of the IPT will be speaking at the Seminar.
ASIS members are able to attend IPT Events, although numbers are limited. The details of the Autumn
As you will see from the calendar on Page 3 the security calendar is getting increasingly full with events and many organisations are keen to offer ASIS UK the opportunity too exhibit at these. Security TWENTY 14, Counter Terror Expo, Transport Security Expo, Total Security Summit, World Cities, NAHS and others. If you could spare a day here or there to help man a stand at one of these shows, it would be appreciated greatly. We especially like CPPs PSPs and PCIs to volunteer as they are able to speak about the benefits of the certifications and earn CPE points. Please contact info@asis.org.uk if you are willing and able to help.
Chapter
Chapter 208 is one of the largest in the world and certainly the largest in Europe and we are lucky that the membership is very supportive of the work of the chapter. There are a couple of areas where we could do with some extra volunteers.

Programme, which starts in October will be sent out around the end of August. If there is anything that looks of interest to you, please contact Mike Hurst. mike@asis.org.uk
There are also a number of security publications that ask us for articles on a regular basis. If you have a sharp quill pen and something to say, please let us know. Email Mike Hurst with topics you are ready to write about. mh@asis.org.uk We all know that security professionals are a shy retiring bunch, unwilling to make waves or rock the boat. But if you are interested in speaking at an event (ASIS or external) please let us know. If you have some marketing/PR experience or if your organisation has some resource that the Chapter could use, again, please contact Mike Hurst mh@asis.org.uk. In return your efforts in supporting the chapter will receive the thanks of the committee, the admiration of your peers, CPE points where relevant and first choice of biscuits at the chapter events (although I bagsy the custard creams!). Thanks, Mike.
