Rescued, reorganised and made safe (7)

I believe the answer is:

secured

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'made safe' is the definition.
'secured' can be an answer for 'safe' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not sure about the 'made' bit.

'rescued reorganised' is the wordplay.
'reorganised' indicates an anagram.
'rescued' anagrammed gives 'SECURED'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for secured that I've seen before include "Held" , "attached to lead?" , "Got by special effort" , "Apprehended" , "all tied up?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
