sales@tncg.com CONSULTING MADE PERSONAL PAGE 26 OF 57 Physical Measures are most commonly referred to as a means to accomplish security goals. We believe this is a very important part of the security process. Using a layered approach to security and accomplishing the client's goals through this approach is very important. Access control, gates, fencing, landscaping, and cameras are many different physical items that we see used to help accomplish these goals. The final and most often overlooked layer of security is the Human Factor. We believe that the best asset is people. They are not only the most valuable asset to protect but also a key in recognizing or understanding potential problem areas and behavioral threats. We assess security risk based on threat, consequences of loss/negative impact to most critical assets, and identified vulnerabilities in all three domains of security (technology, physical measures/design/layout, and human factor/operations/protocol/training and procedures). Our recommendations are prioritized by their ability to reduce the most critical risk across the entire organization. We have developed our proprietary, multi-phased methodology for information gathering, risk analysis, and reporting to provide clients with the best possible end product. Scope of Work True North understands the critical importance of conducting a comprehensive security assessment for the City of Everett’s Transit facilities. Our team recognizes that such an assessment involves not only evaluating physical elements like keyless entry systems, cameras, and alarms but also delving into operational aspects such as staffing protocols, emergency preparedness measures, and threat notification procedures. We are committed to thoroughly researching and analyzing the City's existing security measures to identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.
