Our Services

Risk & Vulnerability Assessments

Do you know the risk index at your institution? Our risk management specialists can provide you with a roadmap of how you can improve the safety and security of your artwork and other valuable assets.

Training Programs

Cultural institutions have unique security needs which must be addressed in guard force and visitor services training programs. Our customized video training modules can address your training needs.

Security Management Support

Cultural Risk Associates can provide support to non-security personnel who have been given responsibility for your security program, provide support to keep your program functioning during a time of transition, or support and mentor a new security leader until they are ready to operate independently.

Access Control Solutions

Technology continues to evolve, offering new answers to access control challenges. Our cultural protection specialists maintain their expertise in state-of-the-art technology solutions that can better protect your institution and its assets.

Access control systems are integral to maintaining the security and integrity of cultural institutions, serving as a crucial component in safeguarding invaluable cultural artifacts. The importance of the integrity of these systems cannot be understated in that they offer a range of benefits that contribute to the overall protection of museum collections and the safety of visitors.

Our specialists can conduct a comprehensive system assessment and gap analysis and with their knowledge and design savvy offer state-of-the-art technology solutions to you and your institution.

Alarm Monitoring Systems

Are you sure your monitoring systems are operating the way that was intended? What are the notification protocols in place when an alarm is activated? Intruder alerts? Fire alerts? Sensor Alerts? Supervisory Alerts? Do you know how, and if, each alert is properly routed to be acted upon quickly and efficiently?

Our cultural protection specialists can assess and ensure your systems are configured properly to ensure that your cultural assets are safe.

Security Officer Training

Content development and deployment type in a cultural property training program must be carefully considered and curated. Cultural institutions have unique security needs which need to be included in guard force and visitor services training programs.

Our team will design and develop video training modules customized for your institution. These training modules are designed to be short in duration (20-30 minutes) and can be an effective strategy for enhancing employee engagement, consistency, scalability, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness regarding a security oriented training initiative.

Video Management

Camera systems play an invaluable role in safeguarding the priceless treasures housed within museums. Beyond mere surveillance, these systems serve as vigilant guardians, tirelessly monitoring galleries, exhibition spaces, and storage facilities.

Is your Video Management System (VMS) programmed properly. Are cameras recording as needed? Is your storage capability sufficient?

We can answer these, and other questions, with a comprehensive assessment of your video management system.

Vulnerability Risk Assessments

Many institutions don't know where to start when it comes to knowing just how secure their assets are. Do you know the level of risk that your treasured artifacts face? Do you know where within your institution are your assets most vulnerable?

Our risk management specialists will conduct a qualitative risk assessment and provide you with a roadmap of how you can improve your risk index and reduce the chances of your assets being damaged or stolen.

Development of Operating Guidelines

Has your security department developed Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)? Many security programs either don't have an SOP or have one that hasn't been updated in years.

Many on our team of security specialists have experience as Security Directors or Heads of Security leading and developing security departments. Our team can guide you in the design and development of a comprehensive SOP, unique to your particular institution.
