OUR METHODOLOGY & APPROACH Our security methodology always commences with analysis of the risk & threat to any particular business, facility, organization or location. Safeguarding your organization is only possible once we fully understand the types and levels of risk your business faces. All organizations face some degree of security risk. Failing to recognize and manage these risks could seriously jeopardize even the most successful business, leaving it vulnerable to costly interruption of operations or even more serious hazards. We employ several methods to audit the security health of an organization such as Security Surveys and Penetration Testing. Once the threats & lacunae have been clearly identified only then a security strategy can be put together to effectively counter them. The security strategy clearly defines 12 how a site is to be protected in the broadest possible terms. The Security design is then formulated with intricate detail taking in to account the exact requirement of equipment, manpower, surveillance, and site control that will actually achieve the security objectives. A periodic security audit ensures that the systems installed, and the manpower deputed continue functioning as per desired levels. The audit also determines the requirement to upgrade the controls should the necessity be so felt. A. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY: We implement a method to evaluate a suitable security program, regardless of the services' complexity. Our approach considers the most cost-effective security solutions that meet the needs and requirements: 1) Risk analysis and evaluation 2) Post orders development 3) Identification of personnel resources 4) Adequate training of human capital 5) Assignment of supervisory level personnel to the account 6) Quality Control Following the aforementioned methodology, Cornerstone is able to assess the dynamic security needs of the client and recommend the most effective security solution. As a measuring tool our Compliance Division keeps abreast of our performance by conducting evaluations on a quarterly basis. In addition, all customers are assigned a CSR (Customer Service Representative) to ascertain that security services are rendered as designed. 13 B.

We also present situations the candidate may encounter on the job to gauge how they are likely to react in typical scenarios – particularly stressful ones. Reference checks: We speak to managers, subordinates, and co-workers in their references to get a well-rounded view of a candidate’s skills, experience, and personality. Background checks: Our checks include a criminal background check, reference check, and drug screen. Psychological assessment: Any guards who will be issued with firearms undergo an additional level of psychological testing. Firearms are secured at the end of every shift. They may not be taken off-property. Training: Our comprehensive and ongoing training includes first aid & CPR, crisis management, and communication skills.
