How to conduct a Security Survey?

Security Survey entails an analysis of your company’s facility, work force


and critical assets, and evaluates its vulnerability to potential threats and risks.
The survey results in a matrix that reveals the direct impact of these potential
threats and risks on your most valuable assets and operations. The survey
provides the information necessary to achieve the appropriate levels of safety
and security your organization needs to cost-effectively limit risk and liability and
prepare for continued operations during a potential crisis.

The Survey Process  

The Security Survey begins by listening to your key stakeholders and


setting objectives. The scope is based on the established objectives, corporate
and industry history, and preliminary assessments and analysis. This process
typically involves:

● A thorough assessment of existing security policies and procedures

● Interviews with senior management and others familiar with the critical e
organization and those responsible for establishing and operating the
security and safety measures, such as access controls, pre-employment
screening, perimeter and interior security, and loss prevention

●Identification of critical assets, vulnerabilities and threats ranked


according to probability and impact

●Changes in security and safety policies and procedures aimed at


mitigating the risks to your organization’s most critical and vulnerable
operations

Security Survey creates a preliminary report that meets the survey’s


objectives and scope. The report assesses critical assets, potential risks and
suggested measures to limit exposure and provide stability and business
continuity during a potential crisis. The preliminary report is reviewed and
discussed with senior management before the final report is prepared to ensure
that it meets the organization’s objectives and receives management buy-in.

Security surveys do not follow a laundry list of do’s and don’ts. Each
survey is as individual as the industry, company and facility being surveyed.
Typical factors include:

 Scope of operations (local, regional, national, multi-national), location of


these operations and number of facilities
 Amount and value of assets, including people, property and information
 Visibility of corporation and its executives
