What Is a Physical Security Risk Assessment (PSRA)?
A Physical Security Risk Assessment is a systematic evaluation of the security measures protecting your premises, personnel, and assets. It identifies potential threats and vulnerabilities, evaluates the effectiveness of existing controls, and recommends improvements to reduce risk to acceptable levels.
A well-conducted PSRA is essential for businesses handling sensitive data, critical infrastructure, or high-value assets. It forms the foundation of an effective security management programme.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a PSRA take?
A standard commercial premises assessment typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the site. Larger facilities or multi-site assessments may require additional time.
What deliverables will I receive?
You will receive a comprehensive report including a threat assessment, vulnerability analysis, risk matrix, and prioritised recommendations with cost-benefit analysis for each improvement.
How often should a PSRA be conducted?
We recommend conducting a PSRA annually, or whenever there are significant changes to your premises, operations, or threat landscape. Regular reviews ensure your security measures remain effective.
Can PSRA be combined with other assessments?
Yes — we often combine Physical Security Risk Assessments with Workplace Safety and Health risk assessments and IT security assessments for a holistic view of your organisation’s risk profile.
Is a PSRA required by law in Singapore?
While not universally mandated, the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) requires organisations to protect personal data with reasonable security arrangements, which includes physical security. Certain industries and government contracts also have specific physical security requirements.
