For assistance, Whats-AAs a senior security officer (SSO), your client has requested that you implement specific security risk control measures to assist in preventing or minimising future losses to the company due to theft, collusion and/or any other loss-relating threats. Demonstrate, by providing eight (8) practical examples and/or steps that you would follow, regarding how you would implement and evaluate the security project. [8] QUESTION 2 You are employed as a security supervisor in the retail sector, selling camping equipment. Compose a valid argument in which you explain and identify to one of the sales representatives the difference between the terms “maximum foreseeable loss” (MFL), “normal loss expectancy” (NLE) and “annual loss expectancy” (ALE) and, using practical examples, apply it to the camping retail store where you are employed. [6] SEP3714/2025 3 QUESTION 3 Top management at your workplace is implementing a state-of-the-art access control system linked to time and attendance at Human Resources. As a security manager tasked to implement the new system, you have noted that some employees are reluctant to accept this new security measure. Using practical examples, describe certain matters you will attend to with the purpose of overcoming workers’ reluctance to organisational change. [10] QUESTION 4 Your colleague has been called in to conduct a security survey at one of the branches of your company, Simba Peanut Manufacturing. A few years ago, you conducted a security survey of the security lighting at the client’s premises. Discuss ten (10) further guidelines for conducting a security survey with your colleague before she can start the assigned work . [10] QUESTION 5 You have been called in to conduct a security survey at one of the branches of your company, Simba Peanut Manufacturing. You have just conducted a security survey of the security lighting at the branch’s premises. Ninety security measures (questions) were recorded on the survey sheet (so 90 questions represent 100%). Your survey sheet contains 60 “yes” answers and 30 “no” answers. Calculate the security weakness factor that you determined. [6] QUESTION 6 Management principles such as leading, organising, planning and control, as well as financial business principles must be applied to the discipline of risk control. Risk management consequently deals not only with crime risks per se, but with all risks facing an organisation as on ongoing concern. Design and compose these various risks that an organisation may face and must deal with, as well as successfully conclude with recommendations to management as to how to identify and treat them in a timeously fashion. [10] Section A: 50 marks SEP3714/2025 4 SECTION B: ESSAY-TYPE QUESTION QUESTION 7 CASE STUDY: Drug and alcohol abuse at the workplace Drug and alcohol use among employees affects the workplace, even when an employee is not actively abusing drugs or alcohol at work or coming to work under the influence of a substance (Murphy 2023). As a person’s addiction to drugs or alcohol advances, more areas of their life, functioning and health are impacted, causing a ripple effect that can begin to affect their job. Murphy (2023) identifies the following as the main areas that are affected by drug and alcohol use in the workplace: • premature death, chronic health issues and increased medical costs • increased risk for workplace injuries, accidents, and non-work injuries • increased rates of absenteeism and overuse of sick and paid leave • loss of productivity, impaired performance, and lower quality of work You are a security officer at a large explosives factory that employs 12 000 shift workers. The factory has a problem with drug and alcohol abuse among its employees. This is especially visible on Mondays after the end of the month, when up to 10% of staff members are absent from work. Your manager instructs you to make recommendations as to how this problem can be solved. Use the information above to answer the following questions: 7.1 In your own words, differentiate between drugs, drug abuse and a drug addict and give practical examples. [12] 7.2 Identify and briefly explain the guidelines as to how security officers should conduct themselves in a professional manner when dealing with drug abusers in the workplace. [10] 7.3 Indicate to your employer what you regard as most important drug detection and prevention measures to as part of the drug abuse prevention programme. [14] 7.4 Explain to top management the benefits of a drug abuse prevention programme. [4]pp 0.6.7-1.7.1-1.7.3.9. Ensure your success with us..

QUESTION 1: Eight practical steps to implement and evaluate the security project

As a senior security officer, when setting up security measures to stop theft, collusion, or
losses, I would follow these steps:

1. Do a risk assessment – I would first identify what assets are at risk, such as money,
stock, data, and equipment, and where threats are coming from (inside or outside the
company).

2. Check current security – I would look at what security is already in place and see
what works and what doesn’t. For example, if CCTV cameras are working properly or
if access control is missing.

3. Set goals – I would work with management to set clear goals, like reducing theft by
50% in six months. Terms of use

3. Set goals – I would work with management to set clear goals, like reducing
theft by 50% in six months.

4. Choose the right security measures – Based on the risks, I would
recommend strong access control, better lighting, trained security guards,
alarms, and monitoring systems.

5. Train staff – Employees need to be taught how to use the systems. For
example, how to report suspicious activity and why certain access areas are
restricted.

6. Create a security policy – A clear written policy will help everyone
understand the rules. It should cover entry procedures, visitor rules, and how
to handle emergencies.

7. Monitor and adjust – I would regularly check the effectiveness of the new
systems. Are alarms working? Are security staff doing patrols? Are people
following the new rules?
