- Defence in depth
- A layered physical security model using perimeter, building envelope, internal zones and the asset itself, so that each ring is independently controlled.
- Dual custody

- Near miss
- An unplanned event that caused no injury or damage but could have done so; it is reported because it predicts future accidents.
- Risk assessment formula
