Scope of Assessment

What a Threat & Vulnerability Assessment Covers

We analyze your facility, operations, and daily routines the way an adversary would — then report what we find the way a professional should. Six domains, one prioritized picture of your actual risk.

Domain — Physical

Perimeter & Physical Security

Fencing, lighting, lines of sight, locks, alarms, cameras, and the gaps between them. What actually stops entry versus what only looks like it does.

Domain — Access

Access Control

How people, vehicles, keys, and credentials move through your site — visitors, volunteers, vendors, and staff. Where control exists on paper but not in practice.

Domain — Procedures

Emergency Procedures

Fire, medical, severe weather, and intruder response as they exist today. What's written down, what's assumed, and what your people would actually do at minute one.

Domain — People

Staff & Volunteer Readiness

Roles, training gaps, and decision authority under stress. A plan only works if the greeter, the office manager, and the board all know their part.

Domain — Operations

Policies & Daily Operations

Opening and closing routines, cash handling, childcare check-in, event days — the recurring patterns where predictability becomes exposure.

Domain — Threat

Threat Environment

Local incident history, area crime patterns, and open-source indicators relevant to your organization — so recommendations match real conditions, not generic checklists.

Common Questions

Assessment FAQ

What is a threat & vulnerability assessment?

A structured, on-site evaluation of your organization's exposure to natural hazards and human threats. It examines physical security, access control, emergency procedures, and staff readiness, then delivers prioritized, practical recommendations — from free policy changes to long-term upgrades.

How long does an assessment take?

Most single-site assessments involve one facility visit, with the written report and briefing delivered within a few weeks. Timelines scale with facility size and complexity — we'll give you a firm schedule during scoping.

Do I have to buy security services afterward?

No. The report and Emergency Action Plan are yours outright, and the recommendations are written so any qualified provider can implement them. Many findings are policy and procedure fixes that cost nothing at all.

Can the assessment support a grant application?

Yes. Assessment documentation is written to a standard suitable for security grant applications, insurance reviews, and board records. Ask about documentation requirements during scoping so the report matches your program's needs.
