Minimal resources are the sign of the times in the world of “Retail Loss Prevention”

That was the major theme at the National Retail Federation’s (NRFs) Loss Prevention Conference & Exposition this past June 14th-16th. Every Loss Prevention or Asset Protection Executive I spoke with said the same thing “We need to do more with less!” With reduced budgets in today’s economy, many organizations may not be able to afford a designated security individual who has the time or expertise to manage a physical security program. There are many regulatory agencies that require safe working environments for employees or anyone else on your property. You also have an obligation to protect your company assets. In addition to the initial process of our Physical Security Survey and project management, the requirement of a security management plan enters into the factor. A security management plan can be described as how you manage all projects related to security issues whether it is technology, policies and procedures or general interactions with people under normal and emergency situations or an unplanned security incident.

The primary purpose of all of our assessments is vulnerability identification or threat (exposure) determination and to make the task of analysis of the existing risk more manageable by establishing a base from which to proceed. We believe in the premise that vulnerability threats that occur, whether the source is fraud based, physical security, logical security or a general liability issue, are not random occurrences, they occur when the conditions are right for them to occur. Our assessments attack the root causes and enablers of these vulnerabilities.

Our thesis is that improving organizational policies and procedures to eliminate threats, improve awareness that protect assets, minimize exposure and reduce losses is the single best defense. Then we follow up with the latest technological countermeasures that reinforce your policies and procedures to act as an overwhelming deterrence and insure compliance and evolve as changes require over time.

We will manage your physical security plan to keep you abreast of all the latest changes in technology, regulations and review your policies and procedures relevant to security. We will also work with you to maintain necessary training or equipment inspection documentation. To learn more just email me at James.McDonald@PST-Mail.com or call me at (877) 214-2900.
