Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a security audit and a security risk assessment?

A security audit verifies you’re meeting your stated commitments – essentially checking that you’re doing what you said you’d do. A security risk assessment goes deeper, analyzing threats, consequences, and vulnerabilities to determine if you’re doing the right things to protect your people, assets, and information. Most organizations need an assessment first to establish what should be in place, then periodic audits to confirm compliance. Learn more in our blog on Security Audits vs. Assessments.

How long does a typical security assessment take?

A comprehensive facility security risk assessment typically takes 6-8 weeks from kickoff to final report delivery. This includes site visits, stakeholder interviews, threat analysis, and development of prioritized recommendations. We can also provide rapid assessments for specific concerns or urgent situations.

What makes BPS different from other security consultants?

We’re completely independent – we don’t sell products or systems, so our recommendations are based solely on your needs, not our bottom line. With 35 years in business and a 99% referral rate, we focus on evidence-based solutions tailored to your specific risk profile and industry requirements.

Do you work with our industry?

We’ve worked with organizations across healthcare, education, manufacturing, oil and gas, food and beverage, government, and more. Each industry has unique security challenges, and our consultants bring sector-specific expertise to every engagement.

Do you work with clients outside the U.S.?

Yes. While we’re based in North Carolina, we work with clients nationally and internationally. Our consultants have experience securing facilities across multiple countries and understand the regulatory and operational considerations that come with global operations.

Do you help implement recommendations, or just provide a report?

We provide vendor-neutral support throughout implementation. This includes reviewing designs, helping select appropriate vendors or technologies, and project-managing security improvements – all without ties to specific suppliers. We help turn recommendations into results.

Do I need to have a security incident to engage you?

Not at all. Many of our clients come to us proactively – to improve their current security posture, meet new compliance standards, or plan future facilities. Whether you’re responding to an incident or building smarter defenses from the start, we’re here to help.

Can you help us comply with OSHA or other regulations?

Absolutely. We help organizations navigate OSHA General Duty Clause requirements, industry-specific regulations, and standards like ISO 31000. Compliance is often a component of our assessments, and we can structure recommendations to address specific regulatory obligations.

Hallmark of integrity
I was most impressed by your initial stance of not being able to believe or endorse a product before seeing it first yourself. We shipped you a Gen1 sensor which you set up and tested. I believe that is one of your hallmark traits of integrity.
Gary Green Director of Sales, SightLogix, Inc.

Remarkable field knowledge in security
When trying to find the right directions or products for our organization, they provided that knowledge, yet were flexible to research further options based on our unique needs and feedback.
Tiffany McCants Risk Control Manager
