What is a Security Risk Assessment?
A Security risk assessment is a thorough inspection of your work tasks, activities or premises, in order to identify potential weak points, evaluate the risks they present and implement preventative or protective measures.
Besides being the most effective way of protecting yourself and your family, a security risk assessment can also save you the agony of wasting money on an ineffective security system.
But, it’s not too late, if you already have a security system in place. A good security risk assessor can suggest additions to an existing security system and demonstrate many different ways of tackling any challenge.
There is a lot more to Security Risk Assessment (SRA) than just looking at your doors, windows, locks or alarm systems and figuring out what security measures are needed. Remember, security is knowledge!
