A physical site vulnerability evaluation identifies weaknesses in a facility’s security that could expose people, assets, or operations to risk. Eight Point Solutions (EPS) conducts physical site vulnerability evaluations in Washington, DC to help organizations understand how their locations may be observed, accessed, or exploited—and what steps can be taken to address physical security weaknesses.

​

Organizations operating in dense, high-visibility, or sensitive environments require a clear understanding of how physical security performs at the site level. EPS provides structured, professional evaluations that support facility-specific security decisions and improvement planning through professional security consulting.

A physical site vulnerability evaluation is a systematic review of a location’s physical security posture. The evaluation focuses on how a site can be accessed, observed, exploited, or physically disrupted by potential threats.

​

Rather than relying solely on compliance checklists, a vulnerability evaluation examines how security measures function within the physical environment. This includes reviewing the interaction between physical infrastructure, human behavior, and site-based procedures.

​

The purpose of a physical site vulnerability evaluation is to identify gaps, weaknesses, or inefficiencies that could increase exposure at a specific location.

A physical site vulnerability evaluation typically includes several key components:
 

• Perimeter and Access Review
  Assessment of entrances, exits, fencing, lighting, and access control measures.

• Building and Interior Layout Assessment
  Review of internal movement paths, restricted areas, and visibility lines within the facility.

• Security Measures and Controls
  Evaluation of surveillance systems, alarms, barriers, and other installed protective measures.

• Operational and Procedural Review
  Examination of site-specific security procedures, visitor management, and staff practices.

• Threat and Risk Considerations
  Analysis of how the site may be exposed based on location, visibility, and facility use.
   

EPS delivers findings in a clear, structured manner, allowing organizations to prioritize improvements based on physical risk and site impact.

Physical site vulnerability evaluations are valuable for organizations responsible for safeguarding people, assets, or physical locations. Common use cases include:

​

• Corporate offices and commercial facilities

• Government and municipal buildings

• Nonprofits and NGOs

• Facilities with public access or high visibility

• Organizations operating in urban or regulated environments
   

Any organization seeking to better understand and manage facility-level security risk can benefit from a professional site evaluation.
