Site security evaluations

Site security evaluations are critical assessments conducted to determine the effectiveness of security measures in protecting physical locations and sensitive data. These evaluations encompass a wide range of factors, from access control and surveillance systems to emergency response procedures and employee training. For organizations handling sensitive information or operating in high-risk environments, a thorough site security evaluation is not just a best practice, but a necessity.   

Various schemes and certification bodies require a security evaluation of a development and/or production site of the product. This is often arranged as part of an evaluation. Brightsight can also perform site security evaluations independent of product evaluations. The result can be reused in multiple product evaluations. This is possible for Common Criteria (STAR report) or EMVCo, for example. 

Why is this important? In today's landscape of evolving threats, organizations face increasing challenges in maintaining robust site security. Cyberattacks, physical intrusions, and insider threats can all compromise valuable assets and disrupt operations. The challenge lies in understanding the complex interplay of security measures and identifying vulnerabilities before they are exploited.  

Brightsight, as a leading security evaluation lab, offers comprehensive site security evaluation services. We meticulously assess your existing security infrastructure against industry best practices and regulatory requirements. Our evaluations provide a detailed analysis of potential weaknesses, and this report is sent to the relevant scheme or certification body for certification.

The duration of a site security evaluation varies depending on the size and complexity of the site, as well as the specific scope of the assessment. Factors to consider include the availability of documentation, the cooperation of personnel, and the need for on-site testing. Conditions that must be met include access to relevant areas, provision of security system data, and participation in interviews. It's crucial to schedule evaluations well in advance, considering operational schedules and potential disruptions. 

Brightsight helps by providing independent, objective assessments. We deliver detailed reports that highlight vulnerabilities and provide clear guidance on remediation. 

• If you have a site independently evaluated, you will receive a certificate valid for two years. 
• We also offer Site Assessment Reports as a service for customers looking to understand the security of their sites or obtain evidence of their security capabilities.
