Physical Security Assessment



In today’s environment, analysis of the physical security of facilities and properties has become an even more critical aspect of an organization’s information security and business continuity planning.

Blackfoot addresses this requirement with a team of skilled experts who are able to blend their experience and expertise to focus on the critical aspects of physical security that impact an organization’s computing environment.

During an onsite assessment, our consultants perform physical inspections of facilities and operations. Blackfoot begins each physical security review by gaining an understanding of the resources being protected and the perceived threat environment. Through interviews and limited reviews of local policies and procedures covering physical security operations, Blackfoot gains an understanding of the level of protection desired and needed in a given location. Armed with this understanding, Blackfoot conducts the review of the facility. Key areas assessed include:
