Corporate security requires ongoing diligence to avoid security liabilities that result from stagnant or ineffective security procedures, undesirable hiring practices and dated technology.
We recommend starting with a comprehensive analysis. This assessment requires physical inspections of the premises, a review of the processes in place to safeguard sensitive information, personnel and products and interviews with the appropriate management personnel and typically covers the following areas:
- Access control/intrusion/key and lock systems
- Closed-circuit television and remote surveillance systems
- Alarm and fire detection systems
- Employee/Visitor security procedures and records
- Proprietary and intellectual property asset protection
- Electronic and paper record storage procedures
- Emergency evacuation & natural disaster plans
- Hostile presence/bomb threat plans
- Third party service provider policies & procedures - janitorial service, security guard service, vendor/contractor access, building maintenance, etc.
- Reporting structures and management oversight
It is imperative that management identify key personnel to participate in the audit interviews so that we will clearly understand current operations, identify potential risk areas and assess competence and understanding of the role security plays in the organization.
Upon completion, we will provide you with a written report with specific recommendations for risk management, policy & procedure improvement, and action items for follow up.
