Home and Small Business Security Audits

A security audit is a structured evaluation of how people, procedures, and physical systems work together to reduce risk.

The goal is not to eliminate all risk, which is impossible. The goal is to identify vulnerabilities and recommend practical, cost-effective improvements.

What a Security Audit Evaluates


  • Access control: doors, locks, keys, credentials
  • Perimeter security: lighting, fencing, sightlines
  • Surveillance and alarm systems
  • Opening and closing procedures
  • Emergency response timing and reliability
Findings are prioritized based on probability and impact. Recommendations focus on improving deterrence, detection, and response while maintaining normal daily function.
