Comprehensive Reviews and Audits - once the goals and objectives for a review have been established, we develop a customized plan to conduct comprehensive interviews, audits, reviews, and assessments. IDT utilizes our expertise in concert with Industry Guidelines, Standards, and "Best Practices" to develop a set of recommendations that will assist in addressing the identified concerns while respecting the client's individual and unique needs. A comprehensive security audit usually addresses the following areas;


Information Gathering
- is important for assessing the goals and objectives of the stakeholder's assets.

 

C.P.T.E.D. (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) - involves assessing current and planned lighting, landscaping, traffic flow, and parking areas, at the initial design phase or re-modeling stage.

Access Points and Controls (Interior and Exterior) - reviews are conducted on locking mechanisms and hardware, access control systems, cards (swipe systems, proximity cards, etc.), gates, and fencing.

Systems - a review of your security systems and communications.

Threat Assessments and Vulnerabilities - examines concerns and exposure in the area of biohazard material, physical dangers, employee, and corporate espionage.

Security - involves the assessment of current security providers, their roles, and responsibilities.

Hazardous Waste/Material Handling - a review of material/mail handling as well as waste containment and disposal procedures.

Compliance, Training, Policies, and Procedures - involves the review/assessment of general security awareness to determine the type of training provided and level of compliance. We evaluate how new policies and procedures are produced and implemented.

Emergency Procedures Review – a review of the fire safety planning, disaster management plans, IMS structures, policies and procedures.

Design and Development Phases - during the design or development phase of a project, we can assist in the assessment of a proposed site, the area's crime patterns, and the potential vulnerabilities to staff and public. Recommendations can be provided on appropriate building materials and engineering features to mitigate potential exposure to internal and external threats.

Integrity Inspections - IDT can conduct unannounced site visits to assess the current state of security. Experience has shown that these periodic inspections are beneficial in identifying vulnerabilities and level of compliance.
