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 targeted, accessed, or disrupted—and what steps can be taken to reduce those risks.
 

Organizations operating in dense, high-visibility, or sensitive environments require a clear understanding of how physical security performs under real-world conditions. EPS provides structured, professional evaluations that support informed security decisions and risk mitigation planning.

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 disrupted by potential threats.
 

Rather than relying solely on compliance checklists, a vulnerability evaluation examines how security measures function in practice. This includes reviewing the interaction between physical infrastructure, human behavior, and operational procedures.
 

The purpose of a physical site vulnerability evaluation is to identify gaps, weaknesses, or inefficiencies that could increase the likelihood or impact of security incidents.

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 within the facility.

• Security Measures and Controls
  Evaluation of surveillance systems, alarms, barriers, and other 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 operational use.
   

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

Physical site vulnerability evaluations are valuable for organizations responsible for safeguarding people, assets, or sensitive operations. 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 physical security risk can benefit from a professional site evaluation.
