A security Manager
- Takes a pro-active role in the company.
- Is conversant with and involved in all aspects of the company's operation.
- Prevents management wasting time on all security related issues.
- Prevents the company incurring "losses or shrinkage".
This is achieved through implementation of effective deterrent security measures combined with fraud prevention, both of which are regularly updated and reviewed.
A Security Manager understands commercial concepts such as, profit & loss, research and development, drivers nights out, historic budgeting, procurement issues, human resources requirements as well as having a wealth of crime prevention knowledge.

Profiling the right type of individual for specific companies has proved vital in providing this service. Companies have often perceived that a certain level of rank from a police or military role is essential for their image. That may or may not be correct, but it is imperative to establish the credential of an individual to perform a task within a commercial environment and, to be able to relate to others, both within the company and outside.
There are many environments where a female security manager would be invaluable and, many where they would not be suitable. Considerations such as language, specialist skills, experience in similar industries are all made when selecting the candidate.
