I have prepared several security surveys throughout the last couple of years and have always found that they were missing something. Once I started looking through this book I was given clear direction on the useful information required when conducting a security survey.
This book describes all the main sections required for a security review: Scoop of the project, organization assesment and requirements, physical security, internal controls, data system and records, emergency planning, and proprietary information, business impact analysis, survey questionary, etc.
This book goes into details on planning and analysis but does not give detailed techniques on aquireing information or what an effective security system looks like. It assumes the reader has a strong security background and is able to handle the details of investigation, interviewing, testing and evaluation. This book only touches on these topics.

I bought the book to use as a reference while doing my very first risk analysis. It helped me a lot with my project. I found it easy to read and use as a reference. I used the format in the book as a guide when writing up the risk analysis I did.

If you haven't done one before and are looking for a good reference guide, this is a great resource.

The must have book for security professionals filled with the essence of commercial appraisals for threat sources.

Highly technical from a security perspective but lacking real world application or areas for concession if not viable to implement the Rolls Royce solution in every instance. Considerable cross referencing required or commercial experience necessary to really benefit from this text book.

Excellent book for those studying for the PSP or CPP Certifications from ASIS and / or wanting to increase their knowledge of Risk analysis and Management.

Item shipped quick and no hassles, exactly what I ordered. I purchaes this book for school and t came on time and it was half the cost of the school's bookstore price.
