Security Risk Assessment
Our security risk assessments identify vulnerabilities through site-specific analysis of threats, assets, and regulatory requirements. We evaluate physical controls, operational processes, and compliance gaps to develop prioritized action plans. Clients receive detailed reports with mitigation strategies tailored to their industry, ensuring alignment with OSHA, MTSA, or FSMA standards while optimizing budget efficiency.
Security System Design
Custom security system designs integrate access control, surveillance, and intrusion detection tailored to facility layouts and risk profiles. We oversee vendor selection, installation, and lifecycle management to ensure systems meet operational needs. Our designs comply with industry standards while balancing scalability and cost-effectiveness for long-term performance.
Counter-Terrorism Compliance
We help clients meet MTSA, FSMA, and CFATS requirements through facility security plans, audits, and staff training. Our consultants conduct vulnerability assessments and implement mitigation measures to align with federal regulations. Services include documentation management, compliance gap analysis, and preparation for regulatory inspections.
Security Training
Tailored training programs equip teams to recognize and respond to security threats. We deliver on-site and online courses covering emergency protocols, regulatory compliance, and system operation. Custom curricula address industry-specific risks, ensuring staff competency in mitigating workplace violence, cyber-physical threats, and regulatory violations.
Systems Commissioning
Our commissioning services verify security systems meet design specifications and operational requirements. We conduct functional testing, document performance metrics, and resolve deficiencies before warranty periods. This ensures systems operate reliably under normal and crisis scenarios, reducing maintenance costs and extending system longevity.
