Turvallisuusanalyysi

Turvallisuusanalyysi is a Finnish term that translates to "safety analysis" or "security analysis" in English. It refers to a systematic process of identifying potential hazards, risks, and threats associated with a particular system, activity, or environment, and then evaluating their likelihood and potential impact. The goal of a turvallisuusanalyysi is to develop strategies and implement measures to prevent incidents, minimize harm, and ensure the safety and security of people, property, and operations.

The scope of a turvallisuusanalyysi can vary widely, depending on the context. It can be applied to physical security, such as assessing vulnerabilities in a building or critical infrastructure, or to information security, evaluating risks to data and digital systems. It is also used in occupational safety to identify workplace hazards and in process safety to analyze potential failures in industrial processes.

Key steps in conducting a turvallisuusanalyysi often include hazard identification, risk assessment (which involves estimating the probability of an event and its potential consequences), risk evaluation, and the development of control measures. These control measures might include technical solutions, procedural changes, training programs, or emergency preparedness plans. The analysis is an iterative process, and its findings should be reviewed and updated periodically to reflect changes in the environment or system being analyzed. In Finland, turvallisuusanalyysi is a crucial component in many regulatory frameworks and industry best practices to ensure a proactive approach to safety and security.
