RISK ASSESSMENTS

Risk assessments in the workplace are a crucial element of safety practices and policies. Workplaces can be vulnerable to threats that originate internally such as from theft or disgruntled employees or clients, as well as external threats, such as vandalism, sabotage or terrorism. Knowing where your vulnerabilities lie is the first step to mitigating the risk of these threats.

MacLellan Security engages collaboratively with your organization to identify vulnerabilities and ensure that you are minimizing the risks that can result in harm to staff and clients, decreased productivity, reputational damage and financial repercussions.

We will work with your organization to:

identify the main security risks facing your organization including ones that are associated with your managerial and operational processes

assess the likelihood of those risks occurring and their potential impact

create a plan with your organization to mitigate those risks

review your existing security features and work with your organization to strengthen them
