Security consulting and risk assessment is the structured evaluation of a property, person, business, or event — identifying vulnerabilities, threat exposure, control gaps, and prioritized recommendations to harden the target. 247 Private Security provides assessments led by senior consultants with backgrounds in former law enforcement, military intelligence, federal protective services, and 20+ years of operational security in Southern California. Deliverables are written, prioritized, and tied to budget — not generic checklists.
Types of assessments we conduct
- Commercial property risk assessment — physical-security audit of office, retail, industrial, or mixed-use buildings; exterior perimeter, access control, CCTV coverage, lighting, alarm systems, response protocols
- Residential / executive estate assessment — perimeter, gate access, interior safe-room planning, family travel protocols, household-staff vetting, panic-button planning
- Executive protection risk assessment — principal-specific threat profile, advance work protocols, travel-route analysis, residence + office + transport vulnerability mapping
- Event security risk assessment — venue mapping, attendance profile, ingress/egress, credential systems, emergency response plan, coordinated public-safety liaison
- Workplace violence threat assessment — specific-threat evaluation when an employee has been threatened or is making threats; intersects with HR, legal, and law enforcement coordination
- Pre-acquisition security due diligence — for businesses or real estate acquisitions; evaluates legacy security, operational risk, embedded liabilities
- Compliance audit — verifying your security program against industry-specific standards (PCI, HIPAA physical-security controls, cannabis Title 4, etc.)
Methodology
- Stage 1 — kickoff and information gathering — initial consultation, document review (existing policies, prior incident reports, CCTV system specs, alarm contracts, insurance requirements)
- Stage 2 — on-site walkthrough — full physical walk by the lead consultant, documented with photos, measurements, and observations; off-hours walk to assess after-hours posture
- Stage 3 — interviews — confidential interviews with key staff (operations, IT, HR, facilities), executives, and any current security personnel — surface tacit knowledge and unwritten patterns
- Stage 4 — threat-modeling — specific scenarios mapped to your business and location (e.g. cash-loss robbery, organized retail crime, civil unrest, domestic-violence spillover, workplace violence, employee theft)
- Stage 5 — deliverable — written report with executive summary, prioritized findings (critical/high/medium/low), cost-benefit analysis for each recommendation, and a 12-month action roadmap
