Corporate and private security is changing as we go into 2021, and is being re-envisioned as we head into a second year of covid-19 and other developments that came out of the 2020 social justice demonstrations and the 2020 election events which tested security and revealed certain behavior patterns. Here at WWPro, our leadership and management teams study and contribute to these areas of thinking. We were involved in security of property and people during the summer demonstrations in several cities. And, of course, we’ve been involved in protecting people and property during the covid-19 crisis in many types of stores, warehouses, campuses and private estates.
Coming into 2021, here is a list of our thinking on how 2020 affected us and our clients:
- Brand Protection – making sure the client brand is kept well regarded
- Environmental Health and Safety
- Geo-Political Awareness
- Human Capital Issues
- Intellectual Property – the new stakes in protecting company property
- Physical Premises and Property – improving approaches and execution
- Significant Business Disruptions
- Technology Assets
New Behaviors We’re Watching For:
- Apathy and self-absorbed entitlement behaviors
- Belief in non-factual conspiracy theories and fringe ideologies
- Denial of or no interest in factual realities or science
- Domestic terrorism and the motivations underpinning it
- Disregard for intellectual property ownership
- Engineering of fictitious information on social media platforms
