Vulnerability Risk Assessment

What We Assess

Perimeter and Grounds

Site boundaries, fencing, gates, lighting, landscaping, CPTED factors, parking areas, delivery bays, and perimeter intrusion detection systems.

Entrances and Access Control

Turnstiles, doors, locks, key control, visitor management, badge systems, biometrics, mantraps, tailgating controls, ADA compliance, and after‑hours controls.

Surveillance and Detection

Camera coverage, blind spots, image quality, retention, monitoring practices, alarm systems, duress devices, analytics, and SOC integration.

Security Operations

Guard force post orders, patrol patterns, incident response, escalation protocols, training, staffing levels, and supervision.

Critical Assets and Internals

Data centers, labs, cash/valuables handling areas, utilities, MEP rooms, server rooms, records storage, and hazardous materials.

Life Safety and Resilience

Emergency egress, muster points, mass notification, UPS/generator, fire protection interfaces, severe weather and earthquake considerations.

Policies, Processes, and Compliance

Badging policy, contractor controls, vendor access, deliveries, key/credential lifecycle, onboarding/offboarding, and alignment to ISO 27001 Annex A physical controls, NIST 800‑53 PE, and local regulatory requirements.

Technology and Integration

VMS, ACS, PSIM/SOC workflow, network segmentation for security devices, firmware/patching practices, and cybersecurity of physical security systems.

Methodology

Our certified security experts conduct a detailed physical inspection of your site(s), focusing on key domains:

Discovery and Threat Modeling

Stakeholder interviews, asset criticality mapping, business impact analysis, and location‑specific threat intelligence (crime stats, protests, terrorism, natural hazards).

Site Walkthroughs and Inspections

Day/night assessments to evaluate lighting, camera performance, access patterns, and operational realities.

Adversarial Path Analysis

Identification of intrusion paths, tailgating vectors, social engineering exposures, and insider threat opportunities.

Control Effectiveness Testing

Badge audits, door force tests, alarm response timing, CCTV retrieval drills, visitor process walkthroughs, and key control spot checks.

Documentation and Evidence

Photo logs, floorplan mark‑ups, camera field‑of‑view maps, and asset/door inventories.

Risk Quantification

Likelihood and impact scoring, control maturity ratings, and a heat‑mapped risk register to prioritize remediation.

Reporting and Roadmap

Executive summary, detailed findings, quick‑wins, capital and operational recommendations, and a 30/60/90‑day action plan.

Risk Analysis & Prioritization

This is where data becomes intelligence. We analyze the collected information to quantify risk. We use a standard industry formula to calculate a risk score for each identified vulnerability:

Risk = Threat× Vulnerability× Impact Risk

Threat (T)(T): The likelihood that a potential threat (e.g., theft, vandalism, corporate espionage) will materialize.
Vulnerability (V)(V): The likelihood that a security weakness could be successfully exploited.
Impact (I)(I): The severity of the consequences if the asset is compromised, measured in financial, operational, and reputational terms.

This calculation allows us to create a Risk Matrix, visually prioritizing vulnerabilities from “Low” to “Critical,” ensuring you focus resources where they are needed most.

Typical Timeline

Week 1: Kickoff, data request, threat intel, scheduling.
Weeks 2–3: On‑site assessments (day/night), interim debriefs.
Week 4: Analysis, scoring, and draft report.
Week 5: Final report, executive briefing, and action planning workshop.

Sample Findings We Address

Inadequate lighting enables a perimeter approach without detection.
Tailgating and visitor bypass at the main lobby during peak hours.
Camera blind spots at loading docks and stairwells.
Weak key control and uncontrolled master keys.
SOC alarm fatigue and delayed response to critical doors.
Unsegmented security devices are exposed on the corporate network.
Outdated post orders are misaligned with real threat scenarios.

What We Need From You

Floor plans, asset lists, prior incidents, and security system inventories.
Access to security leadership, facilities, IT, and HR stakeholders.
Escort access for restricted areas during site visits.
