Threat analysis according to the methodology MV ČR a ČSN 73 4400 it will show how the building and staff are prepared for a crisis situation. For schools, hospitals, culture, sports grounds, offices and companies.
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.
Object
entrances, routes, zones and points of first contact
Documentation
crisis plan, GDPR, camera mode and responsibilities
Risk
probability, impact, priority and budget of measures
Map of weak points
First, we will go through the places where the risk arises. Only then do we write recommendations.

Frequently asked questions
What is a soft target?
A soft target is a publicly accessible, predictably frequented location with a high concentration of people and a low level of security, such as a school, hospital, theater, office, or sports field. It cannot be fully protected by technical means, and therefore its safety depends on people, procedures and early detection. The audit of soft targets according to the MV ČR methodology evaluates the danger of the object, assesses the readiness of the personnel and proposes specific measures.
Who is the soft targets audit intended for?
For founders and operators of buildings with a high concentration of people: schools and their founders (municipalities and cities), hospitals and medical facilities, social services, authorities, cultural and sports institutions and companies. The audit will give the director or security manager a basis for decision-making and for negotiations with the founder.
According to what standards does the audit take place?
We are based on the methodology of the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic for the protection of soft targets, on the technical standard ČSN 73 4400 and, for schools, on the Minimum Safety Standard MŠMT 2024. We also take into account industry regulations, for example for medical facilities.

There is no blanket legal obligation yet. For schools, however, the Minimum Safety Standard MŠMT 2024 and for other buildings the methodology MV ČR actually determine what care for safety can be expected from the operator.
How long does the audit take and what is the output?
Depending on the size of the object, the on-site visit usually takes 1-2 days, processing another 5-10 working days. The output is a structured security plan with recommendations sorted by priority, a schedule and a cost estimate. You will use it when dealing with management and the founder.
