Corporate Security & DRR

Sector header

The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI) has progressively positioned itself as a leading industry voice in strengthening corporate security frameworks and advancing Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) across India. In an era marked by complex security threats, climate-linked disasters, industrial disasters, technological disruptions, and evolving regulatory landscapes, FICCI plays a catalytic role in aligning industry preparedness with national resilience priorities.
 
FICCI under the aegis of its Corporate Security & DRR Committee has provided a structured platform for dialogue among Chief Security Officers (CSOs), Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), Health, Safety and Environment Officers (HSE), Risk leaders, Policymakers, Law enforcement agencies, Safety Professionals, and Technology providers. It recognizes that modern security extends beyond physical guarding to encompass cybersecurity, fraud risk management, supply chain security, executive protection, critical infrastructure protection, and business continuity planning. Through high-level conclaves, roundtables, and sectoral consultations, FICCI facilitates knowledge exchange on emerging threats, best practices, and global standards. These platforms encourage corporates to adopt integrated risk management frameworks and embed security as a board-level priority rather than an operational afterthought.


Within its broader mandate on national resilience, Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) actively advances corporate security as a strategic business priority. It works with industry leaders and policymakers to strengthen risk governance, promote enterprise resilience, and integrate security into business continuity planning. By encouraging organizations to adopt holistic security frameworks, FICCI helps enterprises prepare for evolving threats that disrupt operations, supply chains, and critical infrastructure.

Building on this foundation, FICCI also supports the strengthening of the private security ecosystem. Through engagement with regulators and industry stakeholders, it advocates professionalization, skill development, technology adoption, and standardization across the sector. These efforts ensure that security service providers are better equipped to address contemporary risks, including hybrid threats that combine physical and digital vulnerabilities.

On Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), FICCI promotes a shift from reactive response to proactive risk mitigation and resilience building. Through initiatives such as Chemical Industrial Disaster Management (CIDM) and Occupational Health & Safety programs, it works with high-risk sectors and government agencies on capacity building, preparedness planning, mock drills, and industry sensitization—fostering public–private collaboration and strengthening national resilience.
