Our Approach

We begin by gathering information about your operations, environment, and existing safeguards. From there, we analyze how threats, vulnerabilities, and potential impacts intersect. Our findings are designed to complement broader preparedness efforts, including emergency preparedness and response planning and other security assessment initiatives.

Risk & Threat Assessments are most effective when reviewed periodically and updated as risks, operations, or environments change.

1.

What is a Risk & Threat Assessment?

A Risk & Threat Assessment is a structured process used to identify for identifying potential threats, evaluating vulnerabilities, and determining the likelihood and impact of adverse events. The goal is to support informed planning and risk reduction.

2.

How does a Risk & Threat Assessment differ from a Physical Security Assessment?

A Risk & Threat Assessment focuses on identifying and prioritizing potential threats, while a Physical Security Assessment evaluates the effectiveness of physical safeguards and facility design. Together, they provide a comprehensive view of risk.

3.

Are risk and threat assessments only for high-risk organizations?

No. All organizations face some level of risk. Risk and threat assessments are scalable and can be tailored to small organizations, large institutions, and everything in between.

4.

Do risk and threat assessments require site visits?

In many cases, yes. Site visits help accurately assess environmental and operational factors that influence risk. However, assessments may also include data review and stakeholder input where appropriate.

5. 

How often should risk and threat assessments be updated?

Risk and threat assessments should be reviewed periodically and updated when there are changes to facilities, operations, staffing, or emerging threats. Regular updates help ensure assessments remain relevant and effective.
