What to Expect During a Security Risk Assessment

If you’re serious about protecting your Miami property, employees, or clients, a professional security risk assessment is the first step. This process identifies potential threats, vulnerabilities, and gaps in your current system. Whether you’re running a corporate office, retail store, residential complex, or industrial facility, a security risk assessment ensures you’re prepared for today’s real-world threats.

In this guide, Maverick Security Inc. walks you through what to expect during a security risk assessment—and how it can help you reduce risks, lower liability, and improve peace of mind.

1. Initial Consultation and Planning

The first phase of a security risk assessment begins with a consultation. A security expert from our Miami-based team will schedule a meeting—either virtually or on-site—to understand your specific concerns.

✔️ During this phase, we will:

• Review your business type and daily operations
• Identify your priorities (e.g., theft prevention, access control, emergency readiness)
• Set goals for the assessment (compliance, insurance, cost savings)

2. On-Site Walkthrough and Physical Evaluation

Next, our team performs a physical walkthrough of your property. This is one of the most important steps in the security risk assessment, as it uncovers vulnerabilities that may not be obvious to untrained eyes.

✔️ We evaluate:

• Building entry/exit points
• Window security and visibility
• Access control systems
• Camera placement and coverage
• Lighting conditions (day and night)
• Fencing, gates, and parking lots
• Lobby, elevator, and loading dock procedures

We may also conduct walkthroughs at different times of day to assess overnight security and crowd flow.

3. Review of Existing Security Policies and Technology

A complete security risk assessment also looks at your internal processes and current technologies. Our goal is to assess not only your equipment but also how your team uses it.

✔️ We analyze:

• Alarm systems, panic buttons, and sensors
• Surveillance systems and storage
• Keycard/fob access systems
• Staff training and incident response procedures
• Visitor management and sign-in protocols
• Cybersecurity controls, if relevant

4. Threat Identification and Risk Categorization

Once we gather all physical and procedural data, our experts identify possible threats and classify them by likelihood and severity.

✔️ Examples of threats:

• Break-ins and vandalism
• Internal theft
• Unauthorized access
• Emergency response delays
• Parking lot crime
• Violence in the workplace

We use a risk matrix to prioritize these vulnerabilities and recommend solutions accordingly.

5. Custom Security Recommendations

After identifying threats, Maverick Security develops a set of actionable recommendations. These are tailored to your industry, location, and budget.

✔️ Common recommendations may include:

• Adding access control to sensitive areas
• Repositioning or upgrading cameras
• Hiring onsite or mobile guards
• Improving lighting around perimeter
• Installing better entry point controls (e.g., badge readers or intercoms)
• Training staff for active shooter or medical emergencies

We’ll present these recommendations in a clear, written report for your review.

6. Implementation Plan and Timelines

Once you approve the proposed recommendations, we help prioritize and implement changes efficiently. Our team outlines a step-by-step plan with realistic timelines, so your business experiences minimal disruption.

✔️ Our team can:

• Install new systems
• Provide on-site guard staffing
• Coordinate with building managers or IT teams
• Train your employees in new protocols

Whether you’re upgrading overnight security or preparing for hurricane season, we ensure your security system evolves with your needs.

7. Ongoing Evaluation and Support

Security isn’t a one-time fix—it’s an ongoing effort. Maverick Security Inc. offers follow-up assessments and periodic reviews to adapt to new threats or changes in your environment.

✔️ Our support includes:

• Routine patrol audits
