Unit of competency

Modification History

Application

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) for security systems that employ advanced technologies including biometrics, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, smart technologies and video integration. It includes conducting research to confirm system operating parameters and writing procedures that ensure safe and effective operation of systems to meet workplace requirements. It also includes reviewing and improving SOPs to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements and respond to changing technologies.

This unit is suitable for those using specialised knowledge to complete routine and non-routine tasks and using their own judgement to deal with predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems.

Legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply in some states and territories to the provision of advice on security solutions, strategies, protocols and procedures. For further information, check with the relevant regulatory authority.

Pre-requisite Unit

None.

Unit Sector

Security/Risk management

Elements and Performance Criteria

Foundation Skills

As well as the foundation skills explicit in the performance criteria of this unit, candidates require:

• oral communication skills to use active listening and questioning skills to clarify system operating parameters
• reading skills to interpret key requirements of manufacturers’ instructions for operating advanced technology security systems
• writing skills to prepare succinct and logically structured procedures using language that is accessible to a wide audience.

Unit Mapping Information

Supersedes and non-equivalent to CPPSEC4021A Prepare standard operating procedures for the use of biometrics technology.

Assessment requirements

Modification History

Performance Evidence

To demonstrate competency, a candidate must meet the performance criteria of this unit by develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) for three different security systems that employ at least three of the advanced technologies listed below:

• artificial intelligence
• biometrics
• robotics
• smart technologies
• video integration.

Knowledge Evidence

To be competent in this unit, a candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

• workplace policies and procedures that ensure compliance with legislative and regulatory requirements when developing SOPs for advanced technology security systems:

• licensing requirements in the security industry
• regulatory requirements in the jurisdiction of operation

• operating parameters for a range of advanced technology security systems
• operational principles of, and technologies used in internet protocol networked security systems
• pre-operational requirements for accessing, authorising and licensing the operation of advanced technology security systems
• procedural writing techniques
• requirements for operating a range of advanced technology security systems
• sources of reliable information on:

• security industry issues and trends impacting use of advanced technology security systems
• the purpose and application of existing and emerging technologies used by security systems
• the types, modes, functions and operating parameters of a range of advanced technology security systems

• type and nature of a range of security risks and measures for controlling these using advanced technology security systems
• ways that social and cultural differences may be expressed.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must meet the requirements for assessors contained in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations.

All individuals engaged by a licensed RTO for security licensing purposes must hold both a security trainers licence (where such a licence exists within the relevant jurisdiction) and the licence for performing the security activities for which the individual is providing training or assessment. Regulators may impose other assessor conditions to meet jurisdictional assessment requirements.

Assessment must be conducted in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment. Candidates must have access to:

• legislation, regulations, policies and procedures associated with developing SOPs for advanced technology security systems in the jurisdiction of operation
• system information and specifications, information technologies and resources required to achieve the performance evidence.
