This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to identify security threats and assess their impact on client operations. It includes analysing client operations and existing security arrangements, assessing assets and activities to determine their criticality to client operations, and conducting a consequence analysis to measure the impact of identified threats.

This unit is suitable for those using specialised knowledge to complete routine and non-routine tasks and using their own judgement to deal with predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems.

Legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply in some states and territories to the provision of advice on security solutions, strategies, protocols and procedures. For further information, check with the relevant regulatory authority.
