Risk and vulnerability assessments are the key components to developing the right mitigation plan. The elements that make up the risk and vulnerability assessment:

• the threat
• examination of policy & procedure 
• physical security

Experience has taught our security specialists that some of the most common problems encountered are:

• Failure to test generator and fuel levels
• Fire suppression system not recharged
• Equipment not properly anchored
• Logical equipment configuration diagrams and schematics out of date
• Lack of preventative maintenance on HVAC systems
• Infrequent testing of UPS system
• Access to critical areas by non-authorized personnel
• Physical wiring diagrams out of date
• Critical cabling cut by outside contractors
• Lack of effective training to appropriate personnel
