SECURITY RISK ASSESSMENT

Security risk assessment is one of the most important steps in the security process.

No business or institution is absolutely crime-proof when targeted by professional criminals, but these criminals would be the first to admit that you can discourage them if you are in control of your security.


“Security is Knowledge”

Objectives of Security Risk Assessment:
•     Survey property, the neighbourhood and current security system;
•     Identify potential security risks;
•     Make recommendations to reduce the risks;
•     Understand the balance between security, safety and effiency;
•     Reducing your chances of becoming a victim.

Physical Site Security Survey in the Following Phases:
•     The core or inner security and systems (inefficient systems are invitations for perpetrators);
•     The shell or building itself;
•     The outer security, garden and parking area;
•     The perimeter or security fence which is the line of protection;
•     The surroundings or neighbourhood.

Our submission is that prevention is the key to cutting losses. The ideal is to create a system where one can identify suspicious behaviour, analyze it, and know when to dismiss innocent activity or investigate further.

AGENT PLACING

Our agents are employed to infiltrate companies on request and weekly reports are supplied pertaining to the irregularities in a company i.e. union activities, theft, planned acts of sabotage or strikes etc. We also follow up on the information supplied by our agents and make recommendations regarding steps to be taken against possible suspects.

Should an agent be required, such will be provided on the basis that the client pays said agent’s monthly salary. (Placing an agent on the normal company payroll will avoid suspicion). We charge a nominal monthly fee, which includes our typed-up agent reports.
