Independent Security Risk Study
Understand Your Security Exposure Before Adding More Security.
Before adding personnel, technology or another security provider, it is important to understand the existing security environment.
The BHS Security Risk Study provides a structured assessment of current risks, protective measures, providers and potential gaps.
The objective is to establish a clear picture of what is working, what requires attention and where security resources should be prioritized.
What the Study Examines
Depending on the client's environment and agreed scope, the assessment may consider:
Current security structure
Considered where relevant to the client environment and the agreed scope of the study.
Existing security providers
Considered where relevant to the client environment and the agreed scope of the study.
Physical security
Considered where relevant to the client environment and the agreed scope of the study.
Residential or facility exposure
Considered where relevant to the client environment and the agreed scope of the study.
Executive or family exposure
Considered where relevant to the client environment and the agreed scope of the study.
Travel risk
Considered where relevant to the client environment and the agreed scope of the study.
Protective procedures
Considered where relevant to the client environment and the agreed scope of the study.
Security technology
Considered where relevant to the client environment and the agreed scope of the study.
Intelligence requirements
Considered where relevant to the client environment and the agreed scope of the study.
Vendor coordination
Considered where relevant to the client environment and the agreed scope of the study.
Emergency procedures
Considered where relevant to the client environment and the agreed scope of the study.
Security responsibilities
Considered where relevant to the client environment and the agreed scope of the study.
Identified gaps or overlaps
Considered where relevant to the client environment and the agreed scope of the study.
The Objective
The objective is not to recommend more security for the sake of adding security.
The objective is to understand the current environment, identify meaningful gaps and determine where changes would materially improve the client's security posture.
Independent Assessment
Assess Before You Invest
Security spending is most effective when it follows a clear understanding of risk. An independent assessment can help determine whether existing resources are appropriate, where duplication exists and where important vulnerabilities remain unmanaged.
The Process
01
Discovery
Understand the client, environment and current security structure.
02
Assessment
Evaluate relevant risks, vulnerabilities, procedures and existing controls.
03
Findings
Identify strengths, gaps and areas requiring attention.
04
Priorities
Establish practical security priorities based on the findings.
What Happens After the Study?
Some clients may require only the assessment.
Others may ask BHS to help implement recommendations, coordinate existing providers or provide ongoing security oversight.
There is no requirement for the client to purchase additional BHS services as a condition of the study.
Every Engagement Begins With a Confidential Conversation
