"From physical security gaps to procedural weaknesses, our assessments help you prevent breaches ..."

Our thorough Site Assessments evaluate your security infrastructure, policies, and procedures. We identify vulnerabilities, assess risks, and develop tailored security plans to strengthen your defences. From physical security gaps to procedural weaknesses, our assessments help you prevent breaches and ensure compliance with safety standards.

Taking stock of a site’s strengths and vulnerabilities makes it possible to identify gaps that may need to be filled before the incident. Site strengths might include a high or isolated position, perimeter barriers, building access control, security video cameras and intrusion alarms, fire protection, emergency plans, and a security officer force. Vulnerabilities might include a low position, a lack of setback from the street, multiple routes and a location that is close to a riots point of origin.

Additional Security Measures

Having completed the assessment, the company will have a better idea of what additional security measures are necessary to protect the site during the incident. For example, it might apt to strengthen key controls, establish an outer perimeter with a temporary chain link fence, increase protection of hazardous material areas, reposition security cameras. and trim foliage that could provide hiding places or help intruders scale fences.

The security supervisor will likely need to work with senior management to make important policy decisions that will shape security operations during the incident. Issues to address include whether the institution will continue to operate during the incident and whether security efforts will be high or low visibility.

Management should also consider how to protect the institution from the effects of the protest. including documenting illegal behaviour by protesters, meeting legal obligations, protecting the institution’s reputation, speaking with the media, and designating someone to address unexpected issues that arise during the protest or riot.
