Certificate IV in Security and Risk Management - CPP40707

Course Summary

The Certificate IV in Security and Risk Management is the fundamental qualification required by Security Consultants. It is the Licensing requirement to be issued a Security Consultants licence In Australia. It is also suitable for those who have a requirement to undertake Risk Management and analysis work within any area of their workplace or in their business activities.

To achieve recognition at the Certificate IV level, the candidate must demonstrate competency in the eleven core units, plus four electives (total fifteen units). Up to two of the required electives may be selected from other qualifications aligned at the Certificate III, IV or Diploma level in this Training Package or from other relevant endorsed Training Package qualifications aligned at the Certificate III, IV or Diploma level (with a maximum of one unit from Certificate III).

Security and Risk Management

Security and risk management functions are covered by two qualifications at the Certificate IV and Diploma levels. The review of PRS03 Asset Security Training Package confirmed that these qualifications continue to meet the needs of the security sector relating to security risk management and higher level specialist functions, (now superceded by CPP07 Property Services Training Package). Security and risk management units of competency have been revised to account for the requirements of AS/NZS 4360:2004 Risk management and the Standards Australia Security Risk Management Handbook (HB 167:2006 Security Risk Management). These provide both the Australian Standard for Security Risk Management processes, and guidance for ensuring those processes are firmly grounded on the principles determined by the Standard.

A New aspect and addition to the program is the update of AS/NZS 4360:2004 to ISO 31000:2009.

This Standard was prepared by Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee OB-007, Risk Management to supersede AS/NZS 4360:2004, Risk management. When AS/NZS 4360:1999 was revised in 2004 (as part of a routine five yearly revision), it was decided by the Joint Australian/New Zealand Committee OB-007 that rather than undertake a similar revision in 2009, Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand would promote the development of an international standard on risk management which would then be adopted. In 2005 the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) established a working group to develop the first international risk management standard using AS/NZS 4360:2004 as the first draft. The standard development process included extensive public consultation in Australia and New Zealand and resulted in the publication of ISO 31000:2009.

ISO 31000:2009

Establish a reliable basis for decision making and planning
Improve controls
Effectively allocate and use resources for risk treatment
Improve operational effectiveness and efficiency
Enhance health and safety performance, as well as environmental protection
Improve loss prevention and incident management
Minimize losses
Improve organizational learning
Improve organizational resilience

This International Standard is intended to meet the needs of a wide range of stakeholders, including:

Those responsible for developing risk management policy within their organization
Those accountable for ensuring that risk is effectively managed within the organization as a whole or within a specific area, project or activity
Those who need to evaluate an organization's effectiveness in managing risk
Developers of standards, guides, procedures and codes of practice that, in whole or in part, set out how risk is to be managed within the specific context of these documents

The current management practices and processes of many organizations include components of risk management, and many organizations have already adopted a formal risk management process for particular types of risk or circumstances.

In such cases, an organization can decide to carry out a critical review of its existing practices and processes in the light of this International Standard. In this International Standard, the expressions "risk management" and "managing risk" are both used. In general terms, "risk management" refers to the architecture (principles, framework and process) for managing risks effectively, while "managing risk" refers to applying that architecture to particular risks.
