This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to analyse the threat level and context, and risks of active threats to sites. It includes identifying plausible threat scenarios and evaluating impact of loss and vulnerability ratings to identify potential risks from an active threat and devise required mitigation strategies. The unit supports Australian national security initiatives for counter-terrorism.

This unit is suitable for those using a broad range of cognitive, technical and communication skills to select and apply methods and technologies to analyse information and provide solutions to sometimes complex 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.
