total security

Total Security Management (TSM) is the business practice of developing and implementing comprehensive risk management and security practices for a firm’s entire value chain. This business process improvement strategy seeks to create added value for companies by managing security and resilience requirements as core business functions rather than as reactionary expenditures. TSM implementation involves a thorough evaluation of key internal and external stakeholders, distribution channels, and policies and procedures in terms of a firm’s level of preparedness for a variety of disruptive events.
TSM particularly takes into account aspects of quality, safety, environmental protection and occupational health, whether for products, for internal company processes or for the education and training of people. TSM is the first system that covers the curve from management system to end product, irrespective of the industry sector. TSM is fostering standardization as well as innovation power. Today, it is time to place such a process in the spot-light and to make use of the possibilities it contains for a broad circle of applications.
TSM encourages companies to manage security initiatives as investments with a measurable return and seeks to transform security from a net cost to a net benefit. In applying TSM, the theory holds that companies may be able to realize cost savings, improve business processes, reduce theft, enhance asset management, increase brand equity and goodwill, and improve preparedness and resiliency.
