Security Assessments
Before you harden a facility, know what it has to stand up to. Physical security and vulnerability assessments, security design and protective design, delivered with our partner Paratus Consultants Group.
Why start here
Protection is specified against a threat. Someone has to name the threat.
Every Amidon wall, room and barrier is specified against a named threat. The assessment is where that threat gets defined: what the site faces, where it is exposed, and what level of protection is proportionate.
A vulnerability assessment turns a general concern into a scoped requirement. That requirement is what makes a material choice, a wall section or a barrier layout defensible to the people who pay for it.
