THREAT RISK ASSESSMENTS

Risk is defined as a measure of exposure of loss conditions. It is important to periodically conduct a qualified Threat Risk Assessment to understand the exposure of your business or staff to major loss conditions. As part of our Threat-Risk Assessments, we research:

Crime Patterns and statistics for the selected geographical area
Hazards and objects of risk in close proximity to your property
Environmental Conditions that may impact the safety of your people, property, information, and reputation
Conditions of your building, existing security systems, policies and procedures, effectiveness of operations and control capabilities, and staff deployment strategies.

We provide you with a detailed report listing gaps in your security program with ways to fill them, rate your level of exposure to threats and the degree of vulnerability your facility carries, and provide an overall risk rating, complete with strategies for:

Risk Mitigation
Risk Avoidance
Risk Acceptance
Risk Spreading

Our consultants are experienced in conducting threat-risk assessments and security audits in residential towers, high-security medical and industrial facilities, busy shopping centers and event venues, and office complexes.

SECURITY / VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTS

This assessment is focused on the evaluation of existing security measures at a property or within a business (such as policies and processes, alarm systems and security cameras, security staff and monitoring services, etc.), determining their suitability and effectiveness in addressing vulnerabilities, and providing recommendations and cost-based, priority-ranked, sensible alternatives where we discover gaps and see concerns.

We examine the following aspects of your security program:

Physical Construction – Walls, Doors, egress and entry points, etc.
Operational Security processes – Visitor Management, Parking, Emergency Procedures, Appropriate directional and instructional Signage, Restriction of Access to areas and materials, handling of incoming and outgoing property/goods, etc.
Security systems – lighting, surveillance cameras, alarm systems, access control databases and devices, intercom and communication tools, etc.
Security operatives – effectiveness of security guards and their deployment schedules, duties, and compliance verification.
Training and Awareness Programs – We measure the level of security comfort, awareness, and resilience posture of your property users.

SURVEILLANCE REVIEWS

This in-depth, specific type of assessment focuses on surveillance cameras and their deployment. The purpose of this assessment is to identify gaps and inefficiencies associated with the way cameras are deployed across facilities, taking into account footage quality and delays, visuals and their purpose, system aging, etc. Our process is simple and effective, and runs as follows:

Identify all cameras
Determine which ones need replacement, repairs, adjustments, or removal.
Determine areas which require cameras that currently do not have them
Provide you with the report
Discuss the report with you and your systems integrator
At your preference, call 3 companies to provide quotes for systems upgrade and ongoing maintenance

Using in-depth, ministry-approved checklists and approaches, and relying on our multi-year, multi-jurisdictional experience, we assess workplace violence susceptibility, identify vulnerabilities in the working environment (touching on subjects of safety, environmental exposure, potential criminal elements outside and inside the organization, and others), and recommend effective, cost-conscious solutions to help your organization achieve its level of due care and compliance.
