Consulting involves a complete analysis and inspection of a facility intended to uncover security flaws and assess facility security procedures and equipment.  A security-consulting program should include the following principle objectives.

The survey should include internal as well as external areas as well as current operating policies and procedures at the facility.  The evaluation would also review the facility culture as well as type and nature of the business conducted in the facility or by divisions or clients.

The threat analysis would determine probabilities as well as possibilities.  It should be noted that the assessment of threat is an ongoing and changing dynamic.
