"The application of the Security Design Criteria is based on a project-specific
risk assessment that looks at threat, vulnerability, and consequences, three important
components of risk . . . The facility's specific security requirements should be based on
a risk assessment – done at the earliest stages of the project . . . .”
SAI - 2006
“Total Security Solutions begin with
an assessment of risk and the enterprise’s
vulnerabilities to that risk. An onsite assessment of
existing physical security is conducted. IT security is included in the assessment
with client approval when warranted. SAI
then analyzes the assessment findings and evaluates the measures in
place for risk mitigation. Recommendations are made to bolster
existing security measures or implement new systems, policies, procedures, and
protocols where required.
When a project
involves new building construction, renovation, or expansion it is essential
that a design team of the owner, users, architect, and an experienced qualified
security professional collaborate on the property and facility design and
function. SAI’s security professionals
apply CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles, years
of security design experience, community standards, and industry best practices
to ensure that the final property and facility design meets both the users
functional and risk mitigation needs.
Total Security Solutions from SAI include design collaboration, written
specifications, review of competitive bid packages, project management, systems
testing and certification, and systems training and end user education.”
