Physical Security Consultants

What is a Physical Security Assessment?


A physical security assessment is a comprehensive evaluation conducted by our team of experienced security consultants in KSA.  This assessment goes beyond simply identifying threats; it delves into the physical aspects of your facility and operations to identify vulnerabilities and recommend solutions tailored to your specific needs and priorities.


Tailored Solutions for Diverse Threats:


The scope and complexity of our assessments vary depending on the nature of your situation. 


  1. Crime Prevention: For residential communities, public facilities, and situations where crime is a primary concern, our consultants focus on Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles and physical security measures that deter criminal activity and aid in apprehension.


  1.  Mitigating Specific Threats:  For facilities facing potential threats beyond crime, such as active shooter scenarios, our CCTV design encompass a broader spectrum of issues. We focus on detection, delay, response, and mitigating the consequences of such risk events.


Encompassing All Aspects of Security:


Our physical security assessments in KSA cover a wide range of topics, including:


  •  Facility Operations:  We analyze your daily operations and identify areas for improvement in security practices.


  •  Layer of Protection (LOP) Design: We assess the effectiveness of your existing security measures and recommend additional layers of protection if needed.


  •  Facility Grounds and Physical Security Design: We evaluate the physical layout of your property, including outdoor barriers, alarm systems, CCTV placement, and CPTED principles, to identify vulnerabilities and recommend improvements.
