Why Have a Security Vulnerability Assessment?A security site assessment or security risk assessment is an evaluation conducted by an accredited security professional that includes an inventory of the assets to be protected, as well as recommendations on how best to protect them.

What is a Security Assessment?A security assessment identifies your problems and their respective solutions. An Independent Security Consultant can conduct a security assessment at your home or business to determine: Greatest threats to people and property Gaps or areas you’ve overlooked Priority items to tackle right away Knowing these things will help you prioritize, budget, and implement the right security solutions. Owners are exposed to civil liability if something happens, like a hold up in their parking lot during which an employee is hurt or killed. Obviously, that’s a tragic situation. And if litigation ensues, that property owner will have to provide proof that they had the appropriate physical security plans, protocols and equipment in place and that they did due diligence to protect that employee, customer or invited guest. Foreseeability is now part of the conversation when it comes to business, corporate or school security and liability. In essence, foreseeability breaks down into two basic questions: 1. Would a reasonable person be able to foresee that this event was to occur? 2. What did the organization do to mitigate or prevent it? You’ll need to be prepared to answer those questions if there’s an incident at your business. If there’s a lawsuit, counsel might even call in your security consultant and ask him or her to provide proof of a security assessment and your response to their recommendations. They will even dig into the background of your consultant to see if they’re a qualified expert in their field.

Who Should Have a Security Assessment?This is a simple answer. Any building, school, house of worship, public space, residential or commercial property of any size, which is open to the public and houses employees or students. No matter what you provide as an organization, you must protect your people. People naturally come with domestic issues. Those issues spill over into the workplace and can cause violence. In fact, targeted violence is on the rise and any organization can be at risk. Recent reports of workplace violence coupled with an increase in certain violent crimes, generally means it’s time for employers to update their workplace violence prevention and mitigation plans.

The High Price Businesses Pay for Lacking
De-Escalation Training
Without de-escalation training, businesses risk incurring costs from negative customer experiences, escalated conflicts, and potential legal repercussions.
Customer complaints or negative online reviews can harm a business's reputation and deter future customers. Escalated conflicts can lead to physical harm or property damage, resulting in liability and legal fees.
Additionally, employees may suffer mental health issues from dealing with the aftermath of an incident without proper training, leading to absenteeism and decreased productivity.
Overall, the cost of not having de-escalation training can be significant, both financially and in terms of overall business performance.

HOUSE OF WORSHIP SECURITY CONSULTING
Houses of Worship including, Churches, Synagogues, Mosques, and Temples are places of faith, religion, ideology, and emotions. It is a place where most individuals feel safe and supported by their community while sharing common views and morals. In recent years, there has been an unprecedented increase of religion-based Hate Crimes in the U.S. Active-Shooter and Knife yielding attacks are no longer strange to the world, and security must be at the best interest of every House of Worship.
Every religious institution is different in size and design. Some places of worship may be a single building with a few attendees. Other places may contain multiple buildings and entrances with thousands attending services and events every day from morning to night with activities for all ages. The design and purpose may be as different as the theology and philosophy taught inside.
​
Therefore, a Houses of Worship Security and Threat Management program must be uniquely designed for your facility, placing equal priorities on the safety of people, programs, property, and preparedness for emergencies. The level of security will often be determined by financial and personnel resources; yet it is imperative that you do something to protect those who worship with you.
