Vulnerability Assessment
All facilities face a certain level of risk associated with various threats. These threats may be the result of natural events, accidents, or intentional acts to cause harm. Regardless of the nature of the threat, facility owners have a responsibility to limit or manage risks from these threats to the extent possible.
The first step in a risk management program is to complete a threat/vulnerability assessment (TVA). A TVA assessment considers the full spectrum of threats (i.e., natural, criminal, terrorist, accidental, etc.) for a given facility/location/organization. A SightSpan Security TVA will examine supporting information to evaluate the likelihood of occurrence for each threat. For terrorist threats, the attractiveness of the facility as a target is a primary consideration.
In addition, the type of terrorist act may vary based on the potential adversary and the method of attack most likely to be successful for a given scenario. Once the credible threats are identified, a vulnerability assessment will be performed. The SightSpan Security vulnerability assessment considers the potential impact of loss from a successful attack as well as the vulnerability of the facility/location to an attack.
A combination of the impact of loss rating and the vulnerability rating is then used to evaluate the potential risk to the facility from a given threat. Based on the findings from the risk analysis, SightSpan Security executives will then identify countermeasure upgrades that will lower the various levels of risk to you and your organization and assist with the management of the program based on the TRA.
