A physical security assessment is a crucial step in safeguarding your organization's physical assets, personnel, and facilities. It's essentially a comprehensive audit of your existing security measures, designed to identify weaknesses and recommend improvements. This process typically involves a security professional meticulously examining your property, from the perimeter fence line to inner offices. They'll assess things like access control systems, security cameras, and even the surrounding environment. By pinpointing vulnerabilities, a physical security assessment allows you to make informed decisions about fortifying your defenses and proactively mitigating security risks. 

CPTED, which stands for Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, is a proactive approach to safety that utilizes the power of good design. It revolves around creating environments that discourage criminal activity and make residents feel secure. CPTED principles go beyond security cameras and alarms. They focus on aspects like natural surveillance, where clear sightlines and proper lighting deter crime. Territoriality also plays a role, with features that establish clear ownership and encourage residents to take an active interest in their surroundings. By incorporating these ideas, CPTED aims to foster a sense of community and reduce both the occurrence and fear of crime.
