Services | Security Assessments & Vulnerability Testing

---

PDG offers a full range of assessment services that can be conducted individually or as part of a comprehensive security program evaluation. Each assessment is tailored to your organization's specific environment, risk profile, and operational requirements.

• Vulnerability Assessment — Identifies weaknesses in your physical, procedural, and personnel security posture — mapping each gap to the threat it creates.
• Threat Assessment — Evaluates the specific threats your organization faces based on sector, location, operations, and current intelligence considerations.
• Physical Security Assessment & Inspection — Hands-on evaluation of your facility's physical barriers, access control, surveillance systems, lighting, signage, and perimeter security.
• Physical Security Penetration (PSP) Testing — Controlled, authorized testing of your physical security controls — our assessors attempt to bypass your defenses to expose real exploitable gaps before a bad actor does.
• Security Risk Assessment (SRA) — A structured analysis that weighs threats against vulnerabilities and consequences to produce a prioritized, risk-ranked remediation roadmap.
• Security Environment Considerations — Contextual analysis of external factors — geopolitical climate, neighborhood threat environment, proximity to critical infrastructure, and social/political considerations that affect your security posture.
• Physical Asset Protection (PAP) Program Development — End-to-end development of a documented program to protect your most critical physical assets — personnel, equipment, data infrastructure, and facilities. 

Our assessors evaluate your organization across multiple dimensions. No single factor defines your security risk — effective assessment requires looking at the complete picture.

Your Environment & Facility

• Physical layout, campus design, and perimeter configuration
• Access control systems and entry / exit points
• Surveillance coverage and blind spots
• Lighting, signage, and physical barriers
• Proximity to critical infrastructure or high-risk locations
• Construction, renovation, or expansion factors that affect security

Your Threats & Risk Profile

• Current and emerging threats specific to your industry and location
• Geopolitical and social environment factors
• Appeal of your assets, personnel, or operations to potential threat actors
• History of incidents at your facility or comparable organizations

Your Policies & Procedures

• Existing security policies and whether they are being followed
• Incident response and emergency action plan effectiveness
• Staff awareness, training levels, and compliance culture
• Vendor, visitor, and contractor access management 

At the conclusion of a PDG assessment, your organization receives a clear, actionable deliverable — not a generic report template. Every assessment produces:

• Written Assessment Report — A detailed, professional document summarizing findings, evidence, and context for each identified vulnerability or gap.
• Risk-Ranked Recommendations — Prioritized action items organized by urgency and impact — so you know what to fix first.
• Security Program Roadmap — A sequential improvement plan aligned to your organization's resources, timeline, and goals.
• Executive Briefing (on request) — A summary presentation suitable for leadership, board review, or insurance documentation. 

• A clear, documented understanding of your current security posture
• Confidence that you have exercised due diligence to protect your personnel and property
• A prioritized plan that makes the most of your security budget
• Reduced liability exposure for organizational leadership
• A stronger foundation for insurance, compliance, and regulatory conversations
• Peace of mind — knowing the gaps have been found and addressed
