Using This Manual
This security awareness manual is designed to help you begin the process of thinking about security for your institution.
However, it is by no means an exhaustive treatment on the subject of security — no such document exists. Moreover, it is not a security plan for your institution.
Rather, it is a series of security considerations.
What distinguishes security considerations from a list of security recommendations? The set of facts and circumstances unique to every institution will dictate what you choose to implement. You know your institution, you know its finances and you know what security measures constituents will accept (and what leadership can help constituents learn to accept). Thus, when we offer suggestions or lists, you must evaluate those thoughts in light of your institution’s needs.
You must bear in mind that not every item on a list is applicable to your institution and that not everything applicable to your institution is on these lists .
One way to use this manual is as a starting point for a conversation with you, selected members of your staff, lay leadership and a security professional who can assess your institution firsthand.
All this said, we believe this manual will be helpful as you begin the process of developing a plan for your institution.
Remember: Your ADL Regional Office is a resource available to you.
