Security Risk Assessment and Physical Security Measures
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
This lesson is about seeing risk before it becomes harm. You will learn how a site's risks are found, judged, and ranked, and how physical security measures — barriers, locks, lighting, alarms, and entry systems — are chosen to deal with them. As a supervisor, you lead the risk walk, you report weak points with a clear reason, and you help your guards patrol with purpose, not by habit.
Focus: learn to spot weak points on your site, decide how each risk should be treated, and understand why each security measure is there.
