What is a Security Measures Survey?

At CPTED Executive Services, our survey is an exhaustive "boots-on-the-ground" inspection. We move beyond theoretical risks to test the actual performance of your security infrastructure. We look for hardware failures, technological gaps, and "workarounds" that employees or intruders might use to bypass your systems.

Key Areas of Evaluation

• Physical Barriers: Testing the integrity of perimeter fencing, gates, high-security locks, and reinforced entry points.

• Electronic Surveillance: Auditing CCTV camera placement, resolution, storage capacity, and "blind spots."

• Access Control Systems: Reviewing badge readers, biometric scanners, and the protocols for issuing or revoking credentials.

• Lighting Systems: Measuring lumen levels to ensure high-traffic areas meet CPTED standards for natural surveillance.

• Alarm & Intrusion Detection: Verifying the functionality of motion sensors, glass-break detectors, and emergency notification systems.

Why Conduct a Survey?

1. Identify Hidden Failures: Security hardware degrades over time. We find the broken latch or the "ghosting" camera before a criminal does.

2. Optimize ROI: We help you determine if your current technology is outdated or if you are overspending on systems that don't address your actual needs.

3. Liability Reduction: In Florida, demonstrating that you have regularly audited your security measures can be a critical component of a premises liability defense.
