Morphology
The phrase 'security review' is directly compositional: 'security' (protective measures) + 'review' (an examination) yields an examination of security. This noun+noun combination follows common English compounding patterns and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can reliably infer the meaning.
Etymology
Security review comes from the image of a clerk or guard checking letters and emails for secret details before they leave the building. So, because security is about keeping secrets safe and review is a careful check, the phrase means 'checking information to stop secret details from getting out'.
