Physical Security Risk Assessment

If you haven’t evaluated your physical security risks in the last five years, consider the following questions:

• Is your security program prioritizing the risks that pose the greatest threat?
• Are you confident your organization uses best security practices to control and manage vulnerabilities?
• Can you withstand an OSHA investigation or defend against a premise liability allegation?

Nighthawk Alliance can help you assess your security risks and work on eliminating crime before it happens through a physical security risk assessment. A security risk assessment can prevent incidents and criminal activity, access control management, comply with the OSHA General Duty Clause, identify where you could be victimized, and reduce the security risk to people, assets, and information.

1. Planning Prior to Field Deployment: Collect relevant documents, gather crime data, and develop a facility threat profile.
2. Fieldwork and Site Visit: Validate the facility threat profile, interview managers and key stakeholders, tour the facility and grounds, observe operations, and rank risks.
3. Risk Report: Receive a report with findings and recommendations with highlighted priority recommendations. The full report provides a detailed implementation plan and cost estimates.
4. Follow-up: We conduct a follow-up review 6 months after you get your Risk Report and you have had time to start implementing recommendations. Our team will re-score risks to demonstrate the impact of these strategies.

Nighthawk Alliance’s risk analysis considers the probability of occurrence, consequences if an incident were to occur, and preparedness to prevent an incident from occurring. Scoring the final risk for each scenario helps you make cost/benefit decisions. After identifying options for reducing risk, Nighthawk Alliance rescores the risks to demonstrate the impact of recommended mitigation strategies.

The typical security risk assessment report includes an executive summary, detailed findings and recommendations, cost for implementation, and report addendums. Don’t wait to assess your security risks and put your organization in a better position to mitigate known and potential attacks. Nighthawk Alliance is ready to help.
