Turvallisuusseikka

Turvallisuusseikka is a Finnish noun used to denote a matter or issue related to security or safety. The compound combines turvallisuus (security, safety) with seikka (matter, incident), and is commonly used to describe concerns, cases, or issues involving risk, safety standards, or protective measures across domains such as information security, physical security, and public safety. In public discourse and organizational contexts, turvallisuusseikka may refer to specific incidents (for example a data breach or a security lapse), ongoing risk assessments, or the need for security policy updates. The term is neutral and descriptive, lacking inherent moral judgment, and is often used in reporting, policy documents, and risk management discussions to categorize topics for analysis and response.

Compared with more specialized terms such as tietoturva or kyberturvallisuus, turvallisuusseikka is broader and can cover procedural, legal, or societal dimensions of security. In Finnish governance and media, it functions as a generic label for issues requiring investigation, remediation, or contingency planning.

Related terms include turvallisuus, tietoturva, kyberturvallisuus, riskienhallinta, and turvallisuuspolitiikka.
