Physical Security Assessment Services

Our Physical Security Assessment services help organizations identify vulnerabilities before they are exploited. Gaps in physical security can expose people, property, and operations to unnecessary risk. Secure Response Strategies conducts thorough, objective assessments to evaluate existing safeguards and provide clear recommendations to strengthen protection and control access.

These assessments evaluate facilities, systems, and procedures and do not involve the provision of security guards or on-site staffing.


Physical Security Assessments focus on identifying risks related to buildings, access points, site layout, and protective measures that impact day-to-day safety and overall preparedness, , often working alongside broader risk and threat assessment services.

What Our Physical Security Assessments Include

We conduct detailed, site-specific assessments designed to reflect how your facility is actually used, not how it looks on paper. Each assessment is tailored to your environment, operations, and threat profile.
Our services may include:

  • Evaluation of building access points and perimeter security

  • Review of doors, locks, lighting, and visibility

  • Assessment of surveillance systems and monitoring practices

  • Identification of high-risk areas and movement patterns

  • Review of visitor management and access control procedures  aligned with
    personnel and visitor security controls

  • Risk prioritization and mitigation recommendations based on the security assessment


Findings are presented clearly, with actionable steps prioritized based on risk and impact.

Why Physical Security Assessments Are Critical

Physical security gaps often go unnoticed until an incident occurs. A professional physical security assessment

1.

Identifies vulnerabilities before they are exploited

2.

Reduces the likelihood of unauthorized access or intrusion

3.

Improves overall situational awareness and control

4.

Enhances safety for occupants and visitors

5.

Strengthens duty-of-care and risk management efforts

Without a clear understanding of physical risks, even strong policies, procedures, and
crisis management planning efforts may fall short.

  • Corporate offices and commercial properties

  • Educational institutions and campuses

  • Healthcare and medical facilities

Our Approach

We begin with an on-site evaluation of your facility layout, access points, and existing security measures. From there, we analyze how physical design, daily operations, and human behavior intersect to create risk. Our recommendations are grounded in the findings of the security assessment and aligned with your operational realities, while also supporting
emergency preparedness and response planning

Physical Security Assessments are most effective when reviewed periodically and updated as facilities, operations, or threats evolve.

1.

What is a Physical Security Assessment?

A Physical Security Assessment is a structured evaluation of a facility’s physical safeguards, including access control, visibility, surveillance, and layout. The goal is to identify vulnerabilities and recommend improvements that reduce risk and enhance safety.

2.

How is a Physical Security Assessment different from an emergency plan?

A physical security assessment focuses on identifying environmental and structural vulnerabilities, while emergency plans address how people respond during incidents. Both are important components of overall preparedness.

3.

Do physical security assessments require on-site evaluations?

Yes. On-site evaluations are critical to accurately assess building layout, access points, visibility, and real-world use. Remote or checklist-based reviews often miss key vulnerabilities.

4.

Are physical security assessments only for high-risk facilities?

No. Any organization with people, property, or assets can benefit from a physical security assessment. Risks exist in all environments, regardless of size or industry.

5. 

How often should physical security assessments be updated?

Physical security assessments should be reviewed every few years or whenever there are changes to facilities, operations, occupancy, or identified risks. Regular reviews help ensure protections remain effective.
