LARGO Consulting Services’ physical security assessment process VIZION20XX was developed as a comprehensive roadmap to evaluate and future-proof our client’s security and safety programs, electronic security systems, emergency preparedness plans, and security force management practices. LARGO provides clients with this security risk and vulnerability assessment and recommendation process based on best practices, emerging trends, and the latest security technologies.

In the security industry, there has been a tendency for security consultants to hold observations until submitting the final physical security assessment report. All too often, the client would open that report to find personnel, infrastructure, or process items identified as risky and called out in alarming language – what LARGO calls the “GOTCHA” moment. VIZION20XX eliminates the “GOTCHA” in conducting physical security assessments. At LARGO, our practice is to share the “GOTCHA” when we discover it, so our clients can take corrective action immediately to reduce risk and keep people safer.

After discussions with the client that establishes goals and objectives, LARGO structures the VIZION20XX physical security assessment process to be implemented in a way that best fits the situation.

VIZION20XX Physical Security Assessment Process often includes:

• • • • A site visit to conduct a security risk and vulnerability assessment of the property
      • Assessment of existing security systems, training programs, policies, procedures, and threat mitigation strategies compared to known best practices, standards, and guidelines
