With increasing certainty, corporate and government auditors are implementing requirements or expecting organizations, including banks, other financial institutions, universities and hospitals to conduct security risk assessments on a regular basis. However, many organizations that do perform what they perceive as 'risk assessments' currently utilize an outdated list of physical security threats stored within an Excel spreadsheet that is managed and analyzed manually.

This traditional, time consuming approach is only a vulnerability assessment, and not a true risk assessment, which includes the specific controls and safeguards needed to eliminate security threats, while providing a cost benefit analysis of the associated financial data and a projected Return on Investment (ROI) based on implementation of the selected security controls.

If your department or staff is responsible for satisfying regulators, providing value added physical security data internally and ultimately protecting EVERYONE at a physical location from harm and security threats, then automated risk assessment is the tool of choice.

Gordon Security Solutions (GSS) offers a comprehensive risk assessment, through affordable and easy- to-use software tools, that automate the surveying, data collection, analysis and reporting for physical security threat assessments and the management of these security risks.

A risk assessment is a process used to identify what controls are needed to protect your critical or sensitive assets adequately as well as cost effectively. Our risk assessment software determines and quantifies risk by analyzing the relationships between: assets value, potential threats to these assets, the vulnerabilities that would allow the threats to occur, the types of losses that the threats could cause, and then most critically, safeguards that would reduce loss or eliminate threats.

The true value of an automated risk assessment is that our automated tool cuts down your organization's risk analysis time commitment by 70% when compared with a manual, spreadsheet-driven analysis. Additionally, users of our risk assessment products have the flexibility to conduct risk analysis within an organization in a variety of ways: vulnerability assessment only, risk assessment only, vulnerability and risk assessment combined, with or without financial data, and with or without ROI data.

The Risk Assessment is a critical part of any business. Without a complete understanding of the current vulnerabilities, both quantitative and qualitative you are only guessing when you put together your security plan.

The cost benefit of purchasing GSS risk assessment software becomes startlingly clear when confronted with the proposition of a manual risk analysis using in-house employees and simple spreadsheets. While the manual risk assessment can take from 10 to 15 weeks to complete and cost many thousands of dollars in lost productivity man hours, our automated risk assessment tool should only require about two weeks, resulting in tremendous man hour cost savings.

Beyond cost effectiveness, a critical feature of our automated risk assessment tool is the ability to quantify your organization's risks. Our tools provide a ROI metrics based on the control cost mitigating the vulnerability to the associated loss and asset value which best mitigates the risk.
Through the risk assessment reporting tool, you will be able to generate easy-to-understand graphs to include in your assessment reports.
