Institution and office security audit - GBH Academy

An audit should end with a decision, not a document in a drawer

First, we show the management where the risk arises, what would have the biggest impact and what makes sense to pay first.

The audit looks at the object, people, documentation and crisis mode at once. The director, mayor, company management and operations manager then work with the output.

entrances, routes, zones and points of first contact

Documentation

crisis plan, GDPR, camera mode and responsibilities
