Question

This script checks the state of the window.

• If the window does not exist open it.
• If the window exists but is miniaturized make it visible.

• If the window is visible do nothing.

  tell application "System Preferences"
      activate
      if exists window "Security & Privacy" then
          tell window "Security & Privacy" to if it is miniaturized then set miniaturized to false
      else
          set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.security"
      end if
  end tell
