Concepts of Physical and Personal Security: Physical Risk Assessment Evaluation

1. Once again, you are the owner of a security company that has been hired to perform a risk assessment and evaluation based on the following scenario:
2. The client is in a three-building corporate campus that includes a five-story building, which is the headquarters office for a major pharmaceutical company. The campus is located adjacent to a river that flows into the Chesapeake Bay and sits on the ground eight feet above sea level. The building is in a suburban location, sited on approximately five acres adjacent to an interstate highway ramp. Parking is included within the campus boundary, and approximately 750 employees are present daily, plus approximately 50 visitors. The loading docks can be accessed from the parking lot via side roads.
3. In the past, there have been moderate threats made against this company. Nothing too specific, but the employees are worried and executives are somewhat cautious in their daily activities. There have been major protests in and around the facility; however, only a few arrests have been made. Additionally, consider that there have been major storm warnings in recent days, and there is always a potential for a major disaster to occur.
4. Write a 275 word ish paper in which you provide an overview of the risk assessment and evaluation that includes:
5. What elements would you include in providing a layered security system?
6. Identify what you feel are the company's critical assets.
7. What steps do you recommend following to always be prepared if a major disaster were to occur?
8. Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
