NRSSIG

The aim of the NRSSIG is to foster innovation and share good practice on improving security outcomes in the nuclear/radiological
environment and raise professional standards. The current membership brings together security professionals, regulators,
owners, operators, designers and end users of nuclear and radiological materials and facilities. A key objective is to build a shared
understanding amongst all stakeholders of security challenges in the nuclear/radiological environment. This, in turn, fosters
collaboration and coordination with stakeholders in sharing a wide range of security risk management techniques that can inform
delivery appropriate, proportionate and cost-effective security strategies. All business is conducted within a forum using only
publicly available information.

The group meets on a quarterly basis on a rolling programme where each meeting is hosted by a member. This provides an
added dimension where members gain an insight to the diverse business areas within its membership.

BESSIG

The BESSIG brings together security professionals and built environment stakeholders
with the aim of improving security outcomes in the built environment, raising
professional standards and in doing so, creating new opportunities for security
professionals through greater market demand for secure buildings, infrastructure and
public spaces.

The BESSIG has a vital role to play in providing commercial and educational benefits to
its members. In particular, the BESSIG seeks to:

• Increase collaboration and co-ordination amongst security suppliers (supply chain),
regulators and end users;
• Build a shared awareness and understanding amongst all stakeholders of the latest
and future security challenges that we can best address by working together;

proportionate and cost-effective security solutions;

• Encourage and reward innovation that leads to advances in built environment
security performance, offers additional benefits for stakeholders and society at large;
• Collaborate, for mutual benefit, with other SIGs of the Security Institute;
• Highlight the benefits of professional membership and the use of services offered
by registered security professionals
