Security Assessments
Creating safer facilities through threat, risk, and vulnerability evaluation
Fentress helps organizations identify security vulnerabilities and plan practical improvements to protect people and facilities. Our CPTED-certified team brings more than 30 years of experience evaluating physical security, electronic systems, and security policies across schools, public safety facilities, government offices, and corporate campuses. For courthouses, we apply deep knowledge of court operations and security requirements to protect users while supporting the delivery of justice.
Our proprietary assessment tool provides a consistent, data-driven basis for identifying security gaps and comparing priorities. From individual buildings to entire portfolios, we help clients prioritize improvements, guide investments, and reduce risk.
Our Approach to Security Assessments
We combine on-site evaluation with objective analysis to identify vulnerabilities and prioritize practical improvements tailored to each facility.
Review facility data, security policies, and existing plans to understand current conditions and practices.
Evaluate physical security, electronic systems, and operational procedures to identify vulnerabilities.
Apply our proprietary SAFE tool to score facility security from 0–100 across key assessment categories.
Compare findings with security standards and best practices to identify deficiencies and prioritize improvements.
Develop practical security improvements with preliminary cost estimates and clear next steps.
How We Deliver Results
Security Assessment and Facility Evaluation (SAFE)
SAFE evaluates more than 200 factors across physical, operational, and electronic security and security policies. Tailored to specific building types, it produces a 0–100 score that provides a consistent basis for comparing facilities, identifying vulnerabilities, and prioritizing improvements.
Security Portfolio Dashboard
Our dashboards bring SAFE scores and assessment findings together to compare security needs across facilities. They help clients identify common deficiencies, prioritize improvements, and direct funding where it can provide the greatest benefit.
