Service Description – Facility Security Oversight & Response
The Advisory Bureau now offers Facility Security Oversight & Response as a premium service for clients who require reliable, consistent, and professional eyes on their site. This service goes beyond a standard audit—our consultants act as ongoing partners in identifying vulnerabilities, monitoring corrective actions, and ensuring compliance with safety and operational standards.
With each visit, a trained security consultant provides a structured evaluation of physical security measures, staff readiness, and facility operations. The consultant also offers real-time recommendations, immediate reporting of high-risk findings, and rapid escalation protocols if urgent issues are identified.
This service is designed to give clients peace of mind by ensuring their sites remain safe, compliant, and resilient—whether during normal business operations, special events, or unexpected crises. It also establishes a continuous security loop, where clients are always aware of their current risk profile and the actions needed to close gaps.
Agent Visit Checklist
Each time a consultant visits a facility, they will complete the following tasks and document findings in the standardized inspection report:

Note any suspicious vehicles or loitering activity near the property.
2. Entrances & Access Control
Test access control systems (keycards, biometrics, visitor logs).
Ensure security personnel or reception staff are following access procedures.
Review visitor management logs for accuracy and completeness.
Verify emergency exits are clear, unlocked (as required), and alarmed.
