In the European Union (EU), the need to establish a crisis management system has been discussed for a long time. Within the framework of the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the EU (CFSP), crisis management mechanisms are foreseen, thanks to which the EU has the capacity to confront security risks and threats. This is visible through the security management of the EU’s civilian and military missions and operations in the world. On the other hand, there is also the so-called corporate security aspects where the managerial function is realized on a micro level in European companies and other corporate organizations. This paper is dedicated to the analysis of corporate security and corporate security management. In the postmodern period, there is a growing trend of various security threats and challenges that take on malignant formats with unpredictable consequences. In combination with traditional threats, new forms threaten to seriously threaten the interests of corporate organizations. Therefore, it was necessary to establish a system of corporate security and security management in order to prevent potential dangers. Corporate security management includes the issue of crisis management, the causes of which are often natural phenomena in addition to humans. In the area of the Western Balkans, which is otherwise politically and economically dangerous, the application of corporate security management and crisis management has a special importance because they eliminate potential security risks for the normal development of business activities of corporations.
