Threat Vulnerabilty & Risk Assessment (TVRA)
Our Approach: The TVRA Process
In an evolving threat landscape, proactive risk assessment and preparedness are crucial to ensuring the safety and resilience of your organization. Our Threat, Vulnerability, and Risk Assessment (TVRA) Program provides expert-driven security evaluations tailored to your unique operational environment. Whether you are a school, religious institution, or business, our program delivers data-driven security insights, risk mitigation strategies, and implementation support to protect people, assets, and infrastructure.
With experience consulting for local organizations and Fortune Global 500 companies, our subject matter experts (SMEs) offer best-in-class security planning, active threat mitigation, and response preparedness.
🔹 Pre-Assessment & Risk Analysis
Our process begins with an in-depth review of your existing security posture, policies, and potential vulnerabilities. This phase provides a foundational understanding of your current risks and compliance gaps.
- Pre-Assessment Questionnaire – Understanding your organization’s structure, security concerns, and operational environment.
- Review of Existing Policies & Emergency Plans – Evaluation of your internal and external active threat response plans and continuity of operations (COOP) procedures.
- Compliance Review – Ensuring alignment with industry standards, regulatory frameworks, and risk management protocols.
- Local Threat & Crime Analysis – A review of crime patterns, known threats, and emergency response capabilities in your area.
- Assessment of First Responder Readiness – Evaluating the preparedness and coordination capabilities of local police, fire, EMS, and emergency operations centers (EOCs).
🔹 On-Site Threat & Vulnerability Assessment
During the on-site phase, our security experts conduct a detailed audit of your facility and security operations to identify weaknesses, gaps, and potential vulnerabilities.
- Physical Security Audit – Assessment of entry points, access control measures, surveillance systems, and emergency exits.
- Interviews with Key Personnel – Gathering insights from leadership, security teams, and staff members to assess preparedness and concerns.
- Evaluation of Response Capabilities – Stress-testing existing protocols for active threats, intrusion response, and emergency evacuations.
- Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) – Review of lighting, barriers, natural surveillance, and defensive architecture to deter threats.
- Cyber-Physical Security Integration – Identifying vulnerabilities at networked security points (e.g., security cameras, access control systems, and alarms).
🔹 Post-Assessment & TVRA Report
Our team compiles a detailed risk assessment report, offering strategic recommendations based on the CARVER methodology, a military-grade risk evaluation tool.
- Criticality – How essential is the asset or location to operations?
- Accessibility – How easily can an attacker reach the target?
- Recoverability – How long would it take to restore the asset after an incident?
- Vulnerability – How exposed is the target to potential threats?
- Effect – What are the consequences of an attack?
- Recognizability – How likely is it that an adversary would identify the asset as a target?
📌 What’s Included in the Report?
- Comprehensive security findings detailing vulnerabilities and threat exposure. Risk prioritization matrix outlining high-risk areas that require immediate attention.
- Best-practice security recommendations aligned with industry standards and regulatory compliance.
- Custom action plan for mitigation, tailored to your budget and organizational needs.
- Policy recommendations for organizations operating under ISO 9001 or other regulatory environments.
🔹 Implementation & Training Support
Our commitment doesn’t end with the report—we help implement risk mitigation strategies through hands-on training, security enhancements, and executive briefings.
- Active Threat & Security Awareness Training – Seminars designed for executives, security personnel, and general staff to enhance awareness and preparedness.
- Scenario-Based Force-on-Force Training – Live, controlled threat response exercises for armed security teams and first responders.
- Active Shooter & Workplace Violence Drills – Customized drills that simulate real-world crisis scenarios and stress-test your emergency plans.
- Policy Development Assistance – Helping organizations integrate effective security procedures and operational standards.
- Integration with Law Enforcement & Emergency Services – Ensuring your security response aligns with first responder protocols for seamless coordination.
🔹 Implementation Review & Annual Security Audits
Security is not a one-time fix—it requires ongoing evaluation and adaptation.
- Follow-Up Assessments – We conduct post-implementation reviews to measure improvements and address lingering vulnerabilities.
- Ongoing Security Audits – Our team can return quarterly or annually to audit security controls, conduct live threat drills, and recommend updates.
- Active Threat Drill Evaluations – Running unannounced security drills to measure staff and security team response effectiveness.
