sigurnosti

Sigurnosti refers to the state of being protected from harm, risk, or danger. The concept is used across personal, organizational and societal contexts and encompasses prevention, protection, detection, and response to threats.

Key domains include physical security (measures to protect people and property, such as access control, surveillance and barriers), information security (protecting data confidentiality, integrity and availability), and cybersecurity (defense of digital systems and networks). Other aspects include personal safety and national or public security.

Effective security relies on risk assessment and management, defense in depth, and security by design. Core principles include safeguarding assets, applying the least privilege, continuous monitoring and incident response, business continuity planning, and privacy protection.

Standards and governance: International standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management, ISO 31000 for risk management, and ISO 22301 for business continuity provide frameworks. Regulatory regimes such as the GDPR affect privacy and data security. Organizations typically implement policies, assign responsibilities, and train personnel to maintain security.

In South Slavic languages, sigurnost means security or safety; sigurnosti is the plural form or the genitive/dative in many contexts, used in phrases such as sigurnosti podataka (data security) or sigurnosti zaposlenih (employee safety).
