Physical Security Audit

Physical asset protection programs should not only be written; they need to be tested and audited for compliance and documented. Policies, standard operating procedures (SOPs), security posts, patrols, access control, incident reporting, key control, training, and emergency response arrangements must be reviewed by security management to confirm they are being followed by all stakeholders.
