Announcement

June 2017 print issue

by Mark Rowe

New on desks is the June 2017 print issue of Professional Security magazine. It has all the regulars besides – Una Riley offers an update on her former staff; four pages of ‘spending the budget’ of case studies; and four pages of new products and services; books review page; and Roy Cooper’s MD gossip about installers, consultants, and manufacturers.

The cover story covers a topic that we’re returning to for the next, July print magazine; business continuity (BC). We hear how BC fits into wider security and risk management, and what it means for a UK energy provider.

We’ve visited Slough – the trading estate to be exact, to hear and see for ourselves how the owners and managers use guarding and monitoring to keep the site in good order for its varied tenants, from Mars to data centres, against crime and more general threats, whether thieves or people wanting to abandon cars.

Going into London, we report from Hackney borough’s CCTV and emergency planning control room; and the Counter Terror Expo at Olympia, that ran before the Manchester Arena terror attack; and look at forensics, to get the most from CCTV recordings; and cyber security in the National Health Service, before the cyber attack that forced some hospitals to shut off their computers and ground the IT at others to a halt. Who pays for a breach? asks Mike Gillespie.

Staying on the cyber side, we look ahead to the European Union’s general data protection regulation, an update that is due to come into force EU-wide by May 2018, regardless of the UK’s vote last year for Brexit. A well-attended conference in London heard from a senior man at the UK’s data protection watchdog, the ICO, who was unable yet to give delegates details of what businesses, charities, central and local government or anyone that holds personal data has to do precisely, to meet the new requirements – and avoid the larger penalties for non-compliance, or for allowing a breach.

We also preview the annual IFSEC exhibition at London Excel.
