“Toro’s team conducted a comprehensive physical security and systems review of the vast site and helped ensure a secure and effective staged transition to the Riverlinx Consortium. Toro provided detailed threat reporting to inform TfL risk management across the site. Toro’s timely updates allowed TfL to rapidly mitigate emerging threats on at least two occasions. We were impressed by Toro and would recommend them to others.”

Physical Security Review FAQs

What is the difference between a Physical Security Review and a Physical Security Audit?

Toro can either conduct a physical security audit or a physical security review depending on your requirements, level of understanding, and inhouse capability.

Physical Security Audit – Based on a set of pre-defined questions made applicable to your business and sector and usefully defined to achieve a certain regulation or standard that will lead you on a pathway that provides structure and guidance to the process.

Physical Security Review – A bespoke process that is specific to the particular area or areas of concern and can support an existing capability to improve.

When should I conduct a Physical Security Review?

- prior to a facility construction, refurbishment, or re-fit to guide security design planning,
- following a security incident to identify where security needs to be improved,
- periodically or following a change in the threat environment to attest security effectiveness,
- in a new operating environment to assess security risk exposure and guide the application of effective security solutions.

What is a Physical Security Review, and why does my business need one?

It's an in-depth evaluation of a company’s security measures aimed at identifying potential risks and improving safety. This review is essential for businesses to protect assets, ensure the safety of employees and customers, and meet regulatory requirements. A comprehensive review highlights vulnerabilities and provides actionable insights to strengthen security.

How long does a Physical Security Review take, and what is involved in the process?

The length depends on the size and complexity of the premises. A review might take from a few days to several weeks. During the Review, experts assess elements such as access control, CCTV coverage, security policies, staff training, and emergency response protocols to develop a thorough safety profile.

What areas are typically covered in a Physical Security Review?

Toro examines key security aspects, including:

Access control systems (keycard and lock systems)
CCTV and surveillance coverage
Alarm systems and intrusion detection
Perimeter security (fences, gates, barriers)
Lighting and visibility in critical areas
Emergency response planning
Visitor and employee security procedures
Cyber-physical security integration
Company security policies and procedures

What are common vulnerabilities identified in a Physical Security Review?

During a review, we often find vulnerabilities such as:

Weak access control systems
Blind spots in surveillance coverage
Insufficient lighting in high-risk areas
Insecure entry points, like loading docks or emergency exits
Limited staff security training
Inadequate perimeter security

Addressing these vulnerabilities helps create a stronger, more resilient security framework.

How does a Physical Security Review enhance safety for employees and visitors?

A review identifies weaknesses in your existing security and suggests targeted improvements. By addressing these areas, your business can reduce risks of unauthorised access, theft, and workplace incidents, promoting a safer environment for both employees and visitors.

What does a Physical Security Review cost, and are there different types?

The cost varies according to an organisation’s size, location, and security needs.

Will a Physical Security Review disrupt daily operations?

We work to minimise disruptions. Most evaluations, like policy reviews and perimeter checks, are carried out without interrupting regular business activities. Where tests—such as alarm system checks—may cause brief interruptions, we collaborate with you to schedule these in advance.

What recommendations will I receive after a Physical Security Review?

Upon completing your review, you’ll receive a detailed report highlighting identified risks and vulnerabilities, along with practical recommendations. These may include:

Upgrades to security systems (e.g., cameras, locks)
Updated policies and procedures
Enhanced employee training to raise security awareness

What post-review support do you offer?

We provide ongoing support, including:

Assistance with implementing recommended security improvements
Follow-up assessments to gauge effectiveness
Employee training to increase preparedness and awareness.
