Here is why ICS remains a valued security and investigations vendor.
There are five (5) basic thought provoking physical vulnerabilities that should be assessed:
1: Human Resources and Vendors - Sometimes the most difficult issue in security is the people factor:
- Are background checks being conducted?
- Are they experienced or do they need training?
- Is the security force or task force properly deployed?
- Is there a defined leadership and chain of command in place for non-business hours?
- Are replacement officers readily available for call-offs?
- Is there an auditing system in place to ensure uniformity in operations and customer service in the event of security breach? (Will you still be in business?)
- How do you protect your key talent?
2: Facilities - Properly monitored and free-from-threat facilities:
- Is the Fire and Life Safety Plan incorporated into a General Security Plan?
- Are the Facilities Manager, Security Manager, and other senior managers meeting on a regular basis by attending any type of meeting such as a Tenant Meeting or the like, and are such proceedings documented?
- How is access controlled?
- Is facility lighting sufficient in all areas (both AM and PM)?
- Are Fire exits properly marked and alarmed and fall within the proper codes?
- Are Floor or Building Wardens trained and properly identified?
- Are Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) in use and properly displayed/available to end users?
- Is your IT equipment ready for catastrophe?
3: Equipment - Protect or evacuate users of the facilities:
- How are the facilities monitored?
- Is there a need to upgrade current monitoring equipment and why?
- Is First Aid equipment readily available and in place according to code?
- Is there a need for artificial breathing equipment (Scott Packs)?
- What equipment does the Security Team and Emergency Team use to communicate and are they compatible?
- Is there any type of Personal Duress system in the vehicle parking areas, and other high threat areas?
- If elevators are a concern are the proper Return Keys available to security and facilities personnel?
- What equipment is on hand to evacuate/protect the physically challenged?
4: Materials - Properly monitored and secured high theft items:
- Are laptop or notebook computers monitored as to account for property being removed from the facilities?
- Are desktop computers and other high theft items properly inventoried and marked and placed on record with the security forces?
- Are trash inspections conducted by security forces to prevent employee theft?
- Are any precious metals properly stored and accounted for and being logged with security forces?
- Are any potentially explosive materials being properly stored and recorded with facilities and security, and made a matter of record with local authorities according to code?
- Is confidential information properly marked and secured during business and non-business hours? Is there a file/floor plan in use?
5: Operations - Day-to-day security operations:
- Is there a duty roster in use?
- Is overtime monitored to prevent officer burnout?
- Is there an officer orientation, probation and training plan in place and is it viable?
- Is there a central command center?
- Are there direct communications with local authorities, building management and tenants?
- Does security patrol aggressively to provide a visible deterrent?
- Are high threat areas monitored and are the security checks logged?
- Is there a verifiable archive of incident reports?
