Read MoreConducting physical security risk assessments makes it easier to stay on top of the various threats your organization’s physical assets face and to prioritize your mitigation efforts and incident response.
The biggest benefit of physical security risk assessment is the insight it provides into your physical security risk landscape. It allows you to better protect the assets, locations, and facilities your organization depends on for normal business operations.
Effective physical security risk assessment provides the information you need to prioritize your physical security risks based on their severity and probability of occurrence, so you can allocate more resources to addressing the risks that stand to do the most damage to your organization first.
Every physical security incident at any facility you operate has the potential to cause harm or worse to your organization’s employees, or, in some industries, to the public as a whole. That could take the form of improper fire suppression or prevention practices leading to employee death or injury, or an attack on a power plant taking vital services offline for days or weeks.
We conduct detailed evaluations to identify potential security risks and vulnerabilities within your organization’s physical premises, IT infrastructure, and operational procedures. This includes assessing factors such as access control, surveillance systems, data handling practices, and more.
Our team performs a meticulous gap analysis to compare your existing security measures against industry best practices and regulatory requirements. This helps pinpoint areas where improvements are needed to enhance overall security resilience.
We analyze potential threats specific to your industry and location, considering factors such as physical threats (e.g., theft, vandalism) and cyber threats (e.g., hacking, data breaches). This proactive approach allows us to prioritize mitigation efforts effectively.

We ensure that your security measures align with relevant industry standards and regulatory requirements, such as GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI DSS. Our assessments help you maintain compliance and avoid costly penalties.
Based on our findings, we provide detailed recommendations and actionable mitigation strategies tailored to your organization’s needs and budget. Whether it involves upgrading physical security systems, enhancing cybersecurity protocols, or implementing new policies and procedures, we guide you through every step.
Security is an ongoing process. We offer continuous monitoring services to help you stay ahead of evolving threats and regulatory changes. Regular reviews and updates to your security measures ensure they remain effective over time.
Traditionally, digital security and physical security have been considered separate in an organization’s overall business strategy. Digital and physical security teams may be siloed in their approach and communications, and protocols can get fuzzy when digital and physical risks are interconnected. Threat intelligence tooling, while valuable for cyber defense, can be inaccessible for less technical users investigating cyber-enabled crimes or physical security compromises.
A more integrated threat landscape means that physical and information security risks must be understood and treated as inter-related business risks. For example, digital and physical security breaches can have cascading impacts to interconnected infrastructure, resulting in damage to customer and stakeholder trust, affecting revenue and business relationships in the long term.
Intelligence-wise, cyber, cyber-enabled, and physical threat intelligence provide valuable context to each other as the threat landscape becomes more complex. For example, when threat intelligence strategies focus only on cyber and see digital risk solely as a technical issue, organizations jeopardize themselves by underinvesting in digital risk protection, creating organizational silos, and becoming more vulnerable to attack and resulting business loss. Digital risks are no longer just cyber-attacks; social chatter and other online content can be monitored for physical threats targeting an enterprise, as well as assessing global environments where business may be expanding.
