• SECURITY AUDIT

    How safe is your property?

Your business may not be as safe as you think. Without the proper training to think like a criminal and recognize their various methods of gaining unlawful access to your property, you’re likely leaving your clients, your tenants, and your visitors vulnerable to victimization.

How does a security audit work?

Physical Security Audit:
We specialize in conducting systematic and uniquely tailored assessments of the risks, threats and vulnerabilities that confront organizations as well as their core security programs – across operations, resources, priorities and assets. We help organizations improve security and safety, capture program efficiencies and develop successful strategies for controlling operational costs without assuming untenable levels of risk.

There are five steps we take that will help us ensure your security audit will provide return on your investment:

  • Define Your Audit

    Our first step is defining the scope of your audit – that means we need to write down a list of all your assets. Assets include obvious things like computer equipment and sensitive company and customer data, but it also includes things without which the business would require time or money to fix like important internal documentation.

  • Define Your Threats

    This can range from from poor employee passwords protecting sensitive company or customer data, to insider attacks, and can even include physical breaches or damage caused by a natural disaster. Essentially, any potential threat should be considered, as long as the threat can legitimately cost your businesses a significant amount of money.

  • Assess Current Security Performance

    Now that we have a list of threats, you need to be candid about your company’s ability to defend against them. At this point, we are evaluating the performance of existing security structures, which means we’re essentially evaluating the performance of yourself, your team and your company.

  • Prioritize (Risk Scoring)

    We take your list of threats and weigh the potential damage of a threat occurrence versus the chances that it actually can occur (thus assigning a risk score to each). For example, a natural disaster can obliterate a business (high risk score), but if your assets exist in a place that has never been hit with a natural catastrophe, the risk score should be lowered accordingly.

  • Formulate Security Solutions

    The final step of our security audit is straightforward — we take your prioritized list of threats and write down a corresponding list of security improvements or best practices to negate or eliminate them. This list is now your personal to-do list for the coming weeks and months as we help you implement each of them.

Cyber Security Audit:
We like to focus on holistic, top to bottom, audits. If you choose, this will include an in-depth audit of your cyber best practices and network security.

An audit identifies your most significant vulnerabilities, so you can target opportunities for improvement that offer the highest return on investment. Some organizations embark on a program to strengthen their security infrastructure without first performing a comprehensive assessment. That’s a mistake. They risk misallocating resources and failing to address their most critical vulnerabilities.

Cyber security assessment findings are the key “inputs” of a security project plan/roadmap that will strengthen your organization’s infrastructure and provide the highest return on investment. A thorough cyber security assessment evaluates organizations’ technology, policies and employee awareness. We have found significant, critical vulnerabilities in at least one of those areas in every assessment that we have performed.

How Does a Risk Assessment work?

When performing a Risk Assessment, our team comes to your residence to thoroughly inspect the premises. We then complete a vulnerability findings report (VFR), which details the vulnerabilities (enhanced with current crime statistics), our recommendations for action (along with an explanation for each recommendation included), recommended products, and we give you a color rating based on how many vulnerabilities you have. We will also establish an emergency action plan for you and your family if one does not exist, this includes burglary response and fire response. From there, you decide if you’d like to hire us to remove any or all of the vulnerabilities from your property.

We also offer Risk Assessments for corporate clients, including property managers, commercial real estate agents, and business owners that are invested in their property and desire the deterrence and denial of criminal activity.

Thank you, Zack Knight and Knight Protection Services for assessing our property and leading us on our journey to increased security for our family. Your detailed report of our vulnerabilities revealed our trouble spots that need to be corrected. We were impressed with your professional approach and the generous amount of time spent with us. We look forward to working with you on this project!
