Concept Tool Flow Diagram showing the various stages involved

Initial SetUp Phase

1. Log into the Concept Tool.
2. Enter your name/ID of the specific analysis (it is recommended that you select a name/ID that is easy to recollect for future retrieval).
3. Enter the project description:

• Make it clear the extent of what is, and is not, included;
  
• Data sources, data revisions/versions being used (is this analysis a reiteration of an earlier analysis?);
  
• Describe any grouping of objects;
  
• Have any measures already been used in the project formulation to date?
  

SecuRbAn (and supporting Securipedia) RA Phase

4. SecuRbAn will now take you through a sequence of questions to determine:

[Please note: With each answer, you will have the opportunity to attach your own notes, comments, constraints or related observations etc.]

[Please note: Throughout the questions, you will find links to the Securipedia Knowledge Base in order to get more knowledge on how to answer the specific question at hand.]

[Please note: In circumstances where the question is too abstract, you will have the option of converting the question into a series of ‘sub-questions’ for easier response.]

• the attractiveness within the project composition for various types of (criminal) offenders;
  
• if there are circumstances within the project environment that increase or decrease the attractiveness;
  
• the vulnerability of the aspects of the project to the various types of (criminal) offenders;
  
• the potential impact of an offence being committed/realised.
  

5. With regard to the above questions session (3.), the questions which the SecuRbAn will ask will depend on the answers you provide to the previous round of questions. For example, if you identify through the first round of questions that there is a heightened attractiveness within the proposed scheme/development for breaking and entering by an offender, SecuRbAn will not ask you (in the next series of questions)...?

Output Phase

6. From the previous phase, the tool will output a list of security issues in two ways:

• Prioritised (sorted) list of relevant security issues to be addressed in the project
  

This list will include links to Securipedia, traces to the answers that gave rise to the list, and user notes you inserted during the question phase;

BEST FOR: A quick overview of the issues to be dealt with.

• A complete (sequential) lost of all possible security issues with a scoring indication of its possible relevance to the project.
  

BEST FOR: A quick identification of the change between two risk assessments.
