We would love to showcase
Security risk assessment confidentiality – The companies we have assessed, due to their prominence and success, would undoubtedly impress potential clients. However, we cannot showcase these companies due to confidentiality agreements and our ethical commitment not to exploit our clients’ vulnerabilities for self-promotion. Many of these organizations face complex and significant security challenges that require long-term solutions. Simply mentioning that we have assessed a particular company would confirm that it has security risks, which we cannot disclose.
We recently conducted an independent security risk assessment for a corporate office in Harrismith, assessing responsibility and maintaining strict confidentiality while identifying risks that standard assessments often overlook. This approach allows us to recommend practical measures that improve the overall safety and security of the property.
If you would like to learn more about our assessments or have specific topics you would like us to cover, please email your suggestions to andre@alwinco.co.za. We will create and publish articles tailored to your interests on our website.
In a recent interview,
An informant revealed that criminals are highly skilled at using the internet to gather information. If a criminal discovers that a specific location has undergone a Security Risk Assessment, they can quickly infer the existence of existing weaknesses., a criminal could easily deduce that there are existing weaknesses. This knowledge could then be used to identify opportunities for planning and committing a crime at that location.
We often receive requests for quotes from individuals asking for a list of companies, buildings, or homes we have previously assessed.
In many cases, people make this request not out of genuine interest in conducting a Risk Assessment but to identify potential targets for criminal activity.
Given the nature of our work, we take this matter extremely seriously. We refuse to use our clients’ vulnerabilities to advertise our services or attract more business. It’s important to understand that if an assessor offers you a list of previous companies they’ve worked with,. Your company’s name could be added to that list once your assessment is complete, potentially exposing you to similar risks. The core principle of our business as Risk Assessors is that all information must remain confidential at all times.
