QUESTION 1
Security Procedures for the Protection of Employees and Assets at CDS (20
Marks)
Computer Data Systems (CDS) is experiencing severe operational and security failures
resulting in a 30% financial loss (R20 million). To mitigate risk and protect employees
and assets, the following comprehensive security procedures must be implemented.
1. Development of a Formal Security Policy
CDS must develop and implement a formal security policy approved by top
management. According to ISO 31000 Risk Management Guidelines (ISO, 2018),
organisations must systematically identify, assess, and control risks. The policy must:
Define security responsibilities.
Establish risk assessment procedures.
Outline emergency response protocols.
Include monitoring and evaluation mechanisms.
2. Vehicle Security Controls
Install GPS tracking devices in all 10 trucks with 24-hour monitoring.
Fit panic buttons linked to armed response services.
Install anti-hijacking immobilisers and alarm systems.
Conduct pre-trip and post-trip security inspections.
These measures reduce vulnerability and improve rapid response capability.
