Too often, organizations invest in security measures without first understanding the full scope of their risks. A fence might deter casual trespassers. Access control may regulate entry. But unless these elements are part of a coordinated and comprehensive strategy, they may do little to stop a determined intruder.
In one common example, a facility installs both fencing and access control. Individually, these are strong components. But if they aren’t integrated—if, for instance, a gate can be bypassed or a card reader is installed in an unsecured area—the system has critical vulnerabilities.
This is why a comprehensive physical and electronic security risk assessment is essential. When conducted by an experienced and qualified consulting and engineering firm, a risk assessment evaluates your facility holistically, identifying gaps, compliance concerns, and opportunities for improved protection. It ensures your systems align with the specific security requirements of your organization, as well as those of local authorities and relevant oversight agencies.

The findings of a security risk assessment are used to measure and communicate the level of risk to the organization.
