Independent Assessment of Security Operations

The Hillard Heintze team includes nationally-recognized experts that are highly experienced at conducting independent, objective, and comprehensive assessments of security operations at strategic locations, assets and venues. Perhaps the client is a pharmaceutical company seeking to safeguard mission-critical research and development activities for its most important plants. Or it could be a major international manufacturing company hurrying to remediate deficiencies in the aftermath of a workplace violence event that took several lives. Or it could be a very high net-worth individual in a major South American capital intent upon assessing what precisely would be required to realign the security operations protecting his wealth and his family with international best practices.

While any critical assignment of this nature is highly specialized and depends upon a unique combination of factors, the Hillard Heintze independent security assessment typically evaluates a wide number of factors, such as:

1. Existing security policies, procedures, and protocols;
2. Security staffing and personnel - including the merits and drawbacks of various cost and efficiency issues with respect to proprietary vs. contract guard services;
3. Technical and physical security - including access controls and the ability to monitor, screen and filter all personnel, assets, services, vehicles and equipment seeking entry to or exit from the site; and,
4. Other strategic security-related areas such as all training curriculums, security awareness programs and educational materials, workplace violence programs, emergency preparedness, parking management, fire prevention and background screening strategies, among other areas.
