Overview: Security incident information management (SIIM) is the collection, reporting, recording, analysis, sharing and use of information (including data) linked to a security incident. Security incident information management is a key part of an organisation’s broader security risk management, which aims to support organisational security in order to ultimately improve access to populations in need.
The SIIM Handbook seeks to make an important contribution in advancing practices related to security incident information management within non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
The handbook is intended to support users in establishing and developing effective information management for security event reporting and monitoring systems, both internally and externally, across the organisation and the sector.
This document is part of a broader SIIM project, which is aimed at strengthening humanitarian responses to crises by building the capacity of NGOs to improve security incident-related information management, and enhancing their ability to share incident information in a safe and appropriate manner to support good decision-making across various levels of an organisation.
The SIIM Handbook presents a broad range of tools and guidance, from advice on how to design an effective security incident report to sharing security incident information efficiently with a wide range of relevant stakeholders. The security risk management approach and vocabulary presented in these guidelines follows the global standard issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), ‘Risk management – principles and guidelines’ (henceforth ISO 31000:2009).
