Partnerships between public and private sector actors are expected to grow in response to calls for a broader cross-sectoral counter-terrorism strategy. However, the formation of these partnerships is a current challenge for private sector security professionals, as there is no standardised approach to securitising terrorism or even a common understanding of how private security can contribute to prevention efforts. This paper provides a review of the literature on private sector security procedures used in response to terrorism. The results showed that physical security and security assessments (risk, threat and vulnerability assessments) were the most frequently discussed security themes for protection against terrorist threats. Security measures that received less attention in the literature were related to intelligence gathering and multi-agency cooperation. It is concluded that security procedures in the private sector related to terrorism and other extreme acts of violence should receive more attention in the academic literature to contribute to a better understanding of private security practices.

预计公共部门和私营部门行为者之间的伙伴关系将扩大，以响应对更广泛的跨部门反恐战略的呼吁。然而，这些伙伴关系的形成对私营部门安全专业人员来说是当前的挑战，因为没有标准化的恐怖主义安全化方法，甚至对私营安全如何有助于预防工作达成共识。本文回顾了有关用于应对恐怖主义的私营部门安全程序的文献。结果表明，物理安全和安全评估（风险、威胁和脆弱性评估）是最常讨论的防范恐怖主义威胁的安全主题。文献中较少关注的安全措施与情报收集和多机构合作有关。结论是，与恐怖主义和其他极端暴力行为相关的私营部门的安全程序应在学术文献中得到更多关注，以有助于更好地了解私营安全实践。
