Security Risk & Threat Assessments
As with any operation, the overall strength of the organization is measured by the weakest link. Very strong security in one area will not compensate for very weak security in another. Given the physical layout, operations and past theft experiences at a business, a Risk Assessment can help you identify all areas that need to be addressed to create an extensive loss prevention program for your business. We have over 20 years experience designing and conducting custom risk assessments to measure potential risks and focuses attention on the right areas of a retail operation. LPG can provide you with common sense solutions while considering your security budget.

Regardless of the number of locations you have, how big or how small, let LPG partner with you to assess your locations potential loss areas as well as their ability to implement and follow your company’s policies and procedures. We will put together a customized Risk Assessment for your company by location and/or operation to use as a measurement tool to check for the location’s compliance. Each Risk Assessment compliance question is weighted to highlight the seriousness of the area being audited.

We can schedule follow-up Risk Assessments on a monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly schedule depending on how closely you would like to manage your locations. We won’t stop there however, we will provide you with the latest most cost effective solutions for those areas which are out of compliance and help is needed.

A spreadsheet of all locations and year-to-date scores on the Risk Assessments will be accompanied by each month’s reports. These reports can be used not only for operational review, but manager bonus potential, yearly employee evaluations, overall region performance, and target high inventory shrink analysis. Of course, all reports can be sent electronically in PDF format.

Areas of Risk Assessments can include, but are not limited to:

  • Safety
  • Employee Awareness
  • Stockroom Security
  • Warehouse Security
  • Merchandise Security Standards
  • Display Alarm Standards (EAS)
