A venue's security director recommends increasing CCTV camera coverage. From a risk management perspective, this is an example of:
Answer: Risk mitigation / reduction
Installing additional CCTV reduces the likelihood or impact of security incidents through deterrence and rapid incident detection, making it a risk mitigation measure.
Which document formally authorizes a specific high-risk activity at a venue, such as pyrotechnics, and is typically required by local authorities?
