Duty of care when providing advice on security risks

Giving advice on security risks involves the performance of duties to a reasonable standard of care. "Reasonable" generally means meeting a standard of care expected of a reasonably prudent security professional.

The issue of providing advice is coming under more scrutiny across Australian jurisdictions.  Holding a security adviser registration/licence may not be enough.

There are now a number of authorities that have arisen from cases across Australia hence the importance of appropriate advice that is provided in a clear and unambiguous manner.

On 29 September 2020 our Chapter Chair (Dr Tony Zalewski) is conducting an online seminar through the ACT ASIS Chapter. 

Interested persons should contact the ACT Chapter if you wish to participate.
