Our Services
Site Security
We can design security at your site in the most cost-effective manner possible. Performance-based analysis is always more efficient than the haphazard mounting of hardware (cameras/card readers/sensors) all over your site. Physical Security design includes ensuring uniform lighting is designed to assist both human and camera surveillance.
Proper placement of cameras has to consider everything from relevant local climate and seasonal changes to sunset and sunrise changes throughout the year.
Active Assailant risk mitigation is a critical part of Site Security whether we are discussing a corporate office or a publicly accessible facility.
Security Guard Analysis
Security guards can be a costly and inefficient resource if not deployed strategically. A comprehensive Security Guard Needs Analysis service is offered to assess current and future security guard requirements, identify potential risks and vulnerabilities, and compare different scenarios and solutions to optimize security budget and performance.
The approach is based on a risk model that considers various factors such as location, crime rate, risk level, asset value, occupancy, access control, surveillance, and emergency response.
The analysis can provide valuable insights into security guard effectiveness and determine if you should transition to emergent pragmatic and cost-effective technology solutions that can reduce future operational spending.
Risk Assessments
Our Greatest Strength and Differentiator from Competitors
Our experience includes both quantitative and qualitative risk assessments. Typically, the most valued part of any assessment is prioritized pragmatic recommendations. We provide our recommendations in priority order based on analysis of their cost and effectiveness at mitigating the design basis threat relevant to your site (risk we are mitigating).
All Hazards Assessments Manmade and Natural threats along with accident risks (nearby industrial sites, air/rail/truck transportation, etc.) – This type of assessment has value for your security, enterprise risk management, and business continuity teams.
Security Assessments The focus is identifying the local relevant design basis threat (i.e. 3 person team with moderate training and hand tools, a government site might be a 3-person nation-state actor team with elevated skills and formal training, etc.). The key is to identify the threat we are trying to mitigate and then measure existing vulnerability to the threat. Recommended risk mitigation measures are then prioritized after consideration of cost and effectiveness at mitigating risk.
Terrorism Assessments It is not unusual to wonder how a terrorism assessment would differ from a security assessment. The key difference is that once a terrorist threat reaches your asset (facility, people, etc.) they have likely succeeded. The terrorist threat is looking to eliminate targeted assets without concern about evading a police response. The terrorist threat needs to be detected as early as possible and delayed until police or armed security arrives in order to defeat the threat. These enhanced security needs typically translate to significantly higher overall Detection/Delay/Site Hardening costs than defeating a criminal threat. These types of assessments are generally only requested by government and Critical Infrastructure entities, although some large corporations are starting to mitigate this threat for their critical data centers as identified in their Business Continuity plans.
