Threat Risk and Vulnerability Analysis
Conducting a comprehensive threat risk and vulnerability analysis is fundamental to the health and success of your Security Program.
Security Through Safe Design can perform a threat risk and vulnerability analysis for your organization inclusive of an examination of the premises and inspection of operational systems and procedures. The goal is to determine the existing state of building security, identify weaknesses, and assess current methods used for the protection of assets.
Analyzing potential threats associated with vulnerabilities is one of the first steps to developing solid security procedures, and protocols to mitigate problems before they can happen. Through the examination of possible threats related to these vulnerabilities, potential security risks can then be mitigated.
Steps to Conducting a Threat Risk and Vulnerability Analysis are:
- Identification of assets
- Identification of threats specific to these assets
- Risk assessment
- Vulnerability assessment
- Identification of mitigations to reduce risk to a reasonable level
- Residual risk assessment

Threats and hazards are identified, quantified and prioritized, leading to effective security measures that reduce your exposure to threats and risks.
Assessing flaws or weaknesses in design, procedures, implementation or internal controls that are exposed can help to prevent these flaws from being accidentally triggered or exploited intentionally.
Using techniques that can be employed in a variety of situations and at varying levels of detail, security risks can be assessed, and a threat profile can be developed, taking into account the motivations and capabilities of adversaries.
After determining what needs to be protected, the implications of damage or loss and identifying threats and vulnerabilities, Security Through Safe Design can work with you to develop a plan and provide recommendations to minimize exposure to losses and damages.
