Security requirements
Security Overlay to the RIBA Plan of Work, published by the RIBA in 2023, states in relation to security requirements:
Project specific considerations related to security for incorporating into the Project Brief. Security Requirements can refer to:
- Guidance to be reviewed during the design process
- Specific security tasks to be undertaken during the design process, roles and responsibilities, accountability for sign off, stakeholders consulted and/or informed about security.
The Security Requirements are the client’s specific briefing requirements related to security that should be derived
from the Security Risk Assessment. They might be included as a section in the Project Brief or could be a standalone
document. To ensure that the design team are given the right strategic direction, the Security Requirements should
consider how the client might operate their completed building. This might be by producing a draft of the Security
Plan or by including these in the Security Requirements.
