Security Assessments & Risk Advisory

The definitive answer to “where do we actually stand?” — for an operating facility, a site under consideration, or an asset you’re about to buy.

What we examine

An Orbital Federal assessment is a structured, standards-referenced review — not a walkthrough with a clipboard. We build a design-basis threat for your facility, then test everything against it.

  • Site & perimeter — approaches, standoff, barriers, lighting, vehicle mitigation, and the line where your control actually begins
  • Access control & screening — people, vehicles, and material; credentialing, visitor flow, and the exceptions that become the vulnerability
  • Detection & surveillance — sensor coverage, camera geometry, monitoring posture, and response integration
  • Insider & personnel risk — vetting, escorting, contractor churn, and termination practice
  • Response — guard force posture, law-enforcement interface, and whether the plan survives a stopwatch
  • Standards gap — where the facility stands against the criteria that apply to it: NIST PE controls, TIA-942, NERC CIP-014, UFC, ICD 705 where relevant

When Owners Call Us

Typical starting points

  • Pre-acquisition — security due diligence before a facility or site changes hands
  • Pre-design — a threat and requirements baseline before architects start drawing
  • Post-incident — an independent review after a breach, intrusion, or near miss
  • Customer or insurer pressure — a hyperscale tenant, federal customer, or underwriter asked hard questions
  • Honest doubt — the security program grew by accretion and nobody can say what it defends against
