Why Clients use Panache Security Services

Alignment of Security Failures
Very seldom is a security breach the result of a single factor. More often than not it is a combination of a number of security failures, which combine to allow the security breach.
Swiss Cheese Model
The Swiss Cheese Model, developed by James Reason, is a powerful framework for understanding how multiple failures can align to result in a security breach. In physical security, this model can illustrate how various layers of defense, each with their own vulnerabilities, must fail simultaneously for a breach to occur.
Layers of Defense
Imagine your security measures as slices of Swiss cheese stacked on top of each other. Each slice represents a layer of defense, such as:
- Perimeter Security (fences, walls, and gates)
- Access Control Systems (badges, biometrics, and locks)
- Surveillance (CCTV cameras and monitoring personnel)
- Guard Patrols and Response Teams
- Security Policies and Protocols
Ideally, these layers should work together to prevent unauthorized access. However, like Swiss cheese, no layer is perfect—each has holes or weaknesses.
The Swiss Cheese Model, as it relates to a major security breach, with multiple failures leading to a security breach.
Alignment of Failures
A breach occurs when the holes in multiple layers align, creating a direct path for the threat. For example:
- Perimeter Weakness: A damaged fence or unlocked gate allows unauthorised entry.
- Access Control Failure: A staff member shares their access badge or password.
- Surveillance Lapse: Cameras are poorly positioned or not monitored.
- Human Error: Guards fail to follow protocols during an incident.
- Policy Gaps: Security measures are outdated or poorly enforced.
Each individual failure may seem minor, but when they align, they create an opportunity for a breach.
Application of the Swiss Cheese in Security Audits
The Swiss Cheese Model underscores the importance of:
- Layering Security Measures: Ensuring no single failure compromises the system.
- Identifying Vulnerabilities: Regular audits to find and address “holes” in each layer.
- Integrating Systems and Training: Coordinating technology, personnel, and policies to minimize alignment of failures.
By adopting a proactive approach and addressing weak points in each layer, organisations can significantly reduce the likelihood of breaches. The SECURITY 5.0 COMPLIANCE AUDIT is designed to identify and plug these gaps before they align to create a security failure.
Which brings us to the world-leading SECURITY 5.0 COMPLIANCE AUDIT, along with other security products and services . . . all working to ensure that holes in the Swiss cheese don’t align in your business!

Thereafter, what follows is the issuance of a SECURITY 5.0 COMPLIANCE AUDIT report, requiring corrective action in areas scoring below 75%, which is then followed by a final inspection to ensure that recommendations have been adequately implemented, following which a SECURITY 5.0 COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE will be issued, based on the final results.
Furthermore the SECURITY 5.0 COMPLIANCE AUDIT will provide an analysis of the current costs of the security service, including recommendations on possible areas for cost saving.
