• Impact Assessment: Evaluating the potential impact of identified risks on people, operations, financials, reputation, and compliance.

2. Security Audits and Evaluations

• Physical Security Audits: Reviewing the effectiveness of security measures, such as access control, surveillance, and perimeter defenses, to ensure they meet security standards.
• Cybersecurity Audits: Assessing digital infrastructure, network security, data protection practices, and cyber defenses to identify vulnerabilities and improve resilience.
• Policy and Procedure Reviews: Evaluating existing security policies, procedures, and protocols to ensure they align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

3. Risk Mitigation Planning

• Risk Prioritization: Ranking risks based on their likelihood and potential impact to focus resources on the most significant threats.
• Strategic Recommendations: Developing customized security strategies and solutions to address identified risks, such as upgrading access controls, installing new technology, or revising policies.
