Where can I find security information and a risk assessment on a specific country?

Someone has broken into the center I am responsible for. Should I install electronic security systems or upgrade those already in place?

If there has been a security incident in your facility you may need to revisit your security plan and to consider installing new security systems or contracting human surveillance in order to protect it. The Security department can assess with the contracting of guards and security systems and help you draft an updated security plan. Please do not forget to report the incident..

On the group intranet there is a link to report an incident or security incident. What type of incidents can be reported and who should do it?

The Corporate Security Department needs to know the security incidents that take place at any facility, project or service of the FCC Group. The person responsible for communicating the incident is normally the director of the center or his nominated delegate. However in case of aggravated risk or emergency or in those cases when an employee is personally involved in the incident he or any other person may report the incident directly.

I am going to travel to a country where FCC has no presence. What security aspects should I bear in mind?

The business trips to countries where FCC has no presence pose a special risk derived from the lack of references and country knowledge by the organization and from the difficulties of offering support with our own means. If you are headed to a high or extreme risk country you will need to take protective measures and follow security advice. In that case please contact the Corporate Security Department in advance.

I am off on a trip abroad in a couple of days. Do I need any vaccine for my specific destination?

Here you can find some interest links that can help you prepare your trips.
