Our mission at
STANDING STONE CONSULTING INC.
is to help create the safest environments possible, while
at the same time supporting and enhancing the primary
mission of our client’s organization and facility. We know
that the environment heavily impacts performance and
behavior, by understanding and manipulating the
environment we can positively influence behavior and
improve performance and security. Our consultants work
closely with our clients to develop effective strategies
that create a place that is productive, comfortable, and
safe.
WHAT IS AN ASSESSMENT
A safety, security and
emergency response assessment uses a combination of
quantitative and qualitative techniques to evaluate the
vulnerability of the facility’s assets to certain threats
and how those threats and vulnerabilities put the mission
of the organization and facility at risk. In an
assessment:
· assets to be
protected are identified and prioritized
· the intent,
motivation, and possible tactics of perpetrators of a
threat are evaluated
· vulnerabilities to
the identified threats are identified. |

Using the
findings from the asset, threat, and vulnerability
analysis, appropriate countermeasures can be
selected, evaluated, and recommended. |

Asset
Analysis
What are you trying to protect?
Surprisingly this basic question often goes
unanswered, yet it is fundamental to any
successful security and emergency response
plan. Our consultants guide our clients
through the process of identifying and
prioritize your key assets. Assets are those
things important to the process used to
accomplish the mission of your organization.
Your people, information, property, and how
you combine them into a process, are all
assets that require protection. Generally
assets are prioritized on how their loss would
affect the survival and ongoing operation of
the organization or facility. |

Threat
Analysis
A threat is any action with the
potential to cause harm to an organization’s
people, operations, information, and / or
property. Our consultants will define the
level of threat (either intended, accidental,
or natural) an organization or facility faces
by analyzing what circumstances might cause a
problem and how those circumstances occur. The
process involves the collection of
quantitative data (crime statistics, past
incidents, etc.) and a qualitative assessment
of the conditions that might invite
undesirable behaviors, accidents or natural
disasters. The qualitative assessment includes
such considerations as; what motivation an
attacker might have, is there a high threat of
an accident or a natural disaster? Our
consultants will consider these and many other
factors in developing the type and level of
threat likely to be faced. |

Vulnerability
Analysis
Vulnerabilities are those
things that leave a facility or organization
open to attack or damage by a perpetrator, a
natural, or an accidental event. STANDING
STONE will provide an in depth analysis of how
specific vulnerabilities may invite or permit
a threat to occur. Vulnerabilities take many
forms, they can be in a facility’s location,
design and construction, or they may be in an
organization’s policies and procedures.
Because our consultants have the in depth,
first hand experience of dealing with
incidents of all kinds, from intended to
accidental, we can help our clients understand
and prioritize their vulnerabilities. |

THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSESSMENT
Once the above
three analyses are completed they are combined
together into a Risk Analysis. A Risk Analysis is an
examination of the consequences to an organization
or facility of any occurrence that may interfere
with their mission. The Risk Analysis is the basis
of a sound and successful security and emergency
response plan.
A major benefit
of having
STANDING STONE on your security and emergency response planning
team is that we bring an unparalleled breadth and
depth of experience to each Project. As a
STANDING STONE client
you will receive input from a team of experts from
varying security and emergency response specialties,
assuring you the best possible solutions to your
security and emergency response needs. |
