Review Location security audit The security of your facilities is essential to your operational success. Threats could come from a variety of sources - an oil or mining installation might be at risk from terrorist attack, an office may be targeted by a special interest group or criminal organisation, or an aid agency's operational base may be remote and unprotected. AKE's location security audit will assess your security position and objectives, and design and implement a comprehensive plan to mitigate the risks. Audits are carried out by our security risk specialists, who have outstanding and wide-ranging international experience in the Special Forces and private sector. The process includes: A full location threat assessment and analysis. We address the local security and political situation, including terrorist or criminal groups, conflict, sabotage, disease, and the environment, and will indicate the likely targets. We examine the vulnerability of personnel and facilities. Probability. The likelihood and nature of a potential incident. Criticality. The ramifications and effects of an incident on the operation or personnel. Planning. We factor in and include the necessary location security measures, staffing, contingency plans, systems, security providers, constraints, emergency and evacuation procedures, insurance, and budget. Implementation of the plan, with an outline of priorities and timescales. Periodic review of the threats and security requirements Personal security review Your executives, staff and their families may be vulnerable in their location - and if so, then their security, peace of mind and effectiveness, as well as your operations are compromised. Risks vary - criminal elements may target an executive or their family for kidnap, or unknown elements may threaten a journalist because of a certain story. Whatever the risk, you want to take every step to reduce it. AKE's personal security review will assess the threats posed to individuals and their families at work, at home, and as they travel. Schools, homes, household staff, telephone and mail systems, family activities, vehicles and travel routes are all carefully reviewed for potential exposure to risk. A detailed personal security plan is designed and implemented, and then reviewed as the need arises. All recommendations are relevant to the local threat which is assessed and monitored by AKE's specialised intelligence arm.
