Trends in Security Information
The HSD Trendmonitor is designed to provide access to relevant content on various subjects in the safety and security domain, to identify relevant developments and to connect knowledge and organisations. The safety and security domain encompasses a vast number of subjects. Four relevant taxonomies (type of threat or opportunity, victim, source of threat and domain of application) have been constructed in order to visualize all of these subjects. The taxonomies and related category descriptions have been carefully composed according to other taxonomies, European and international standards and our own expertise.
In order to identify safety and security related trends, relevant reports and HSD news articles are continuously scanned, analysed and classified by hand according to the four taxonomies. This results in a wide array of observations, which we call ‘Trend Snippets’. Multiple Trend Snippets combined can provide insights into safety and security trends. The size of the circles shows the relative weight of the topic, the filters can be used to further select the most relevant content for you. If you have an addition, question or remark, drop us a line at info@securitydelta.nl.

Security guards
The traditional classification of a security guard is an individual that protects buildings against unwanted intruders or any other form of threats. However, security guards can also protect assets, individuals and equipment. Therefore, security guards can be used by various actors, such as governments (to protect governmental buildings), business (to protect trade secrets) and high-profile individuals (to protect the individual).
Security guards protect assets in multiple ways, for example by performing patrols, inspecting or monitoring areas through surveillance with alarms systems or cameras, and physically posting in a particular spot. The aim of a security guard is to minimize risks, threats and hazards, such as espionage, theft and fires. They have a detection and reporting function, sometimes combined with access control, first aid or even policing duties (arrest and control). In The Netherlands are not allowed to carry any kind of weapon or handcuffs.
