SABRE will assist in deciding how much security is needed and develop a risk-based approach to building security design.
Building owners and managers should be able to use SABRE to validate the value of building security.

SABRE (Security Assurance by the Building Research Establishment) was launched in 2017 by the Building Research Establishment (BRE).[1][2] Organisations such as RIBA have already acknowledged SABRE as a recognised security approach.[3]

SABRE is a security assurance approach focussed on providing a comprehensive record and rating of a building’s resistance to threats.[4]

It uses similar principles as the well-established sustainability rating system known as BREEAM, also developed by BRE.

Purpose

SABRE has been developed as a trusted third party security assessment and certification process that offers those that design, build and occupy buildings a reliable grading system that captures just how well the buildings will resist threats and also offer a credible way to carry out cost-benefit analyses on security.[5]

Examples of SABRE

SABRE has already been adopted in significant projects, such as the St Regis Hotel in Astana Kazakhstan.[6][7]
