In this well-written, well-organized book, author Timothy D. Giles, CPP, PSP, provides a thorough overview of how to develop a five-year security master plan that aligns with both an organization’s security philosophy and its overall business plan. … In addition to explanation of data collection and analysis procedures, the text features an outline of a plan document including guidelines for how to address the budget and establishing a return on investment, as well as a discussion on how to approach the final recommendations’ presentation. … A valuable appendix includes guidelines for dealing with workplace violence issues, material on executive protection, self-assessment templates, and an example of a format for a consulting proposal. … It is an excellent road map for security professionals to use as a benchmark relative to their own practices and would also be an excellent text for students assigned to evaluate a security program.
