Security Plans
The Facility Security Plan is a tool used to document an organization’s strategy to security incident and crime prevention. A Facility Security Plan allows an organization to sustain a consistent and reliable security program over time. According to the American Chemistry Council, consistency and reliability will translate into a more secure workplace and community. Many new and proposed bills contain language that requires Facility Security Plans. A Facility Security Plan is a logical next step after a risk or vulnerability assessment is conducted. BPS consultants will answer the important questions when preparing your master Facility Security Plan:
- How will the security program be organized?
- What security measures are employed on a day to day basis?
- Who will be responsible for these activities?
- How are employees educated to take an active role in the security program?
- What are the security measures to be employed in the event security threat conditions change?
- What are the triggers that warrant activation of your emergency response plan?
- How will we measure the effectiveness of the program?
Plan Preparation – Through an information gathering process or as a direct result in our participation in your vulnerability or risk assessment, the answers to the questions above will lead to the Facility Security Plan. This plan will meet all regulatory requirements, as applicable.
- BPS produces a written Facility Security Plan that contains;

The value of a written Facility Security Plan – A professionally prepared and comprehensive Facility Security Plan is invaluable for incident and crime prevention.
