Introduction
Security-Minded Communications (SMC) is designed to disrupt hostiles and to make a hostile believe that if they were to choose your organisation or event as a place to attack, they will almost certainly fail.
Guidance
This guidance supplements existing Security-Minded Communications guidance and provides tailored advice for UK organisations which have remote or rural locations as part of their estate in the UK
Security On Your Side is a newly developed Security Minded Communications (SMC) campaign designed to amplify the deterrent effect of Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) measures. Designed with the every-day site user in mind, SOYS is a toolkit of communication assets, layered across a range of communication channels, that amplifies the HVM and other security assets that could be in place at your venue.
This provides tailored guidance for educational settings in the UK, enabling settings to utilise various communications channels to deny and deter hostiles from undertaking hostile acts against their school, nursery, college or university.
This aim of this guidance is to introduce the concept of Security-Minded Communications (SMC) and encourage organisations to use communications to help protect themselves, their staff and visitors from hostile acts.
This document supplements the existing Security Minded Communications guidance and highlights the key protective security points to consider when creating virtual tours of your facilities.
This guidance document provides information on the concept of Security-Minded Communications, which should be considered when publishing information for the public.
