Security Site Review & Risk Improvement Report
Strengthen Your Site. Protect Your People.
Every property tells a story, through its lighting, layout, signage, and daily activity. A Cogent Security Site Review translates that story into insight, giving you a clear picture of how well your environment supports safety and control.
Our process is straightforward and results-driven: an experienced security specialist spends time on-site documenting strengths, vulnerabilities, and environmental factors that influence how people move, observe, and access your property. The outcome is a photo-rich, plain-language report that identifies what’s working, what could be improved, and how to implement practical, cost-effective security practices to increase safety and reduce liability.

Why It Matters
Good security isn’t only about technology or hardware: it’s about how your site is perceived, accessed, and maintained. Small improvements in lighting, visibility, or signage can dramatically reduce risk, improve user confidence, and demonstrate responsible property management.
Whether you oversee a single retail unit or a multi-building complex, a Security Site Review provides an independent, unbiased perspective designed to help you make informed decisions and show due diligence to tenants, insurers, and regulators.
Our Services
1
Standard Site Review
Starting from the perimeter, the Site Security Review documents the conditions of the site which may lead to additional risk and slow response. The fixed price review offers actionable options to consider for improving visibility, deterrents, and detection. Review is recommended every three years. Pricing starts at $395 for small retail and up to $995 for multi tenant, single building commercial. Custom quoted for large, multi-building complexes.
2
Onsite System Audit
Beyond an assessment report of deficiencies, the Security Audit reviews all security features and provides a documented audit of what is onsite such as gate controls, access control, cameras, and intrusion alarm systems. Maps are provided showing the location and fields of view. Options to consider for maximizing the value of the systems in place and situation specific suggestions to improve functionality. Audits are custom quoted based on complexity of systems being reviewed.
3
Implementation Support
Time to upgrade, expand, or replace your security measures? Implementation Support develops a concise scope document specific to your application, allowing you to clearly and consistently communicate your expectations to the quoting vendors to ensure apple to apple comparisons. Depending on scope of engagement, Cogent can summarize proposal comparisons against the scope and then validate the completed installation against the expectations to ensure satisfaction.
Trusted, Independent Insight
Cogent Security Advisors brings decades of operational and integration experience to each site visit, bridging the gap between design intent and practical application. Our reviews are advisory, not sales-driven, ensuring the recommendations are focused solely on what’s right for your property and your people.
