Have
Questions?

When should I consider a Physical Security Assessment?

A Physical Security Assessment is appropriate whenever your organization experiences significant changes: facility relocations, expansions, staffing changes, new partnerships, or shifts in operations. You should also consider any regulatory updates, increased public visibility, or if you are operating in higher-risk environments.

Immediate Assessment Indicators include:

·       Repeated minor security incidents
·       Employee safety concerns
·       Outdated or failing security equipment
·       Law enforcement feedback highlighting vulnerabilities

Can I just wait until there’s an issue?

Don’t wait for an incident to reveal weaknesses. Proactive assessments identify vulnerabilities before they’re exploited, typically saving far more in potential losses than the cost of evaluation. The question isn’t whether you need an assessment, but when you can schedule one to stay ahead of evolving risks.

Do I need to follow all of your recommendations?

That’s entirely your decision. There’s a common misconception that unfollowed recommendations increase litigation risk, but the reality is the opposite. Organizations face much higher risk when they haven’t conducted assessments, lack expert recommendations, or cannot provide written documentation of their security evaluation.

Are risk mitigation recommendations expensive to implement?

Many of our recommendations are low-cost or no-cost changes to policies, procedures, and emergency plans. We provide comprehensive risk information and prioritized recommendations so you can choose what aligns with your budget and operational needs. Most organizations implement recommendations in phases, and we help prioritize measures that provide the greatest risk reduction for your investment.

What’s the ongoing value of Security Assessments?

Regardless of implementation decisions, once we complete your Assessment, you’ll have clear documentation of your risk profile for future planning, budget discussions, and insurance reviews. Even partial implementation combined with a cost-benefit analysis improves your security posture. We can recommend phased implementation strategies and help your team track risks to determine when mitigation measures should be reevaluated.

The assessment itself demonstrates responsible risk management—whether or not you implement every recommendation.

What is the legal risk of not doing a Security Assessment?

The risk of litigation and unfavorable judgement is considerable. Each of our experts has worked multiple cases where organizations faced significant legal exposure because they failed to conduct proper security assessments, didn’t hire qualified professionals, or inadequately addressed known security risks. This courtroom experience gives us unique insight into what constitutes defensible security practices and effective risk mitigation.

How should I choose a firm for my Security Assessment?

When security incidents occur, you want consultants who have seen the legal consequences of inadequate security measures and know how to prevent them. Our litigation experience means we don’t just assess risk—we help you avoid the legal pitfalls that have cost other organizations significantly.

What does a Security Vulnerability Assessment cost?

Security assessment costs vary based on several factors: facility size and complexity, number of locations, scope of evaluation, and specific industry requirements. A basic assessment for a small office might range from a few thousand dollars, while comprehensive evaluations of large or multi-site facilities require significantly higher investment.

Assessments include a threat assessment, on-site evaluation, vulnerability analysis, detailed reporting with prioritized recommendations, and follow-up consultation. Contact us for a no-obligation consultation and customized proposal.
