"Online Risk Tool Assesses Real Estate Risks" April 5, 2004

 

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.— Protective Countermeasures & Consulting Inc., a security company specializing in threat and vulnerability assessment services, has launched an online risk evaluation tool for the commercial real-estate industry.

The online program, Security Management by Assessing Risks and Threats, can be used to determine the risks of a particular property. SMART is designed to help risk managers and real-estate professionals assess property vulnerabilities by providing corrective suggestions to avoid a range of exposures such as criminal, terrorist, biological and natural disasters.

To access the online risk management evaluation, the customer is provided with a secure Web site along with a password and user name. The assessment includes about 850 yes-or-no questions and can take up to two hours to complete. Once all the questions have been answered, White Plains, N.Y.-based Protective Countermeasures & Consulting Inc. analyzes the results and provides consultation. The company also provides a detailed report that outlines the property's critical assets, threats and vulnerabilities, infrastructure and includes corrective suggestions.

More information on SMART can be found by telephoning Alexandra Posadas, director of operations, at 914-697-4777, or by visiting the company's Web site at www.protectivecountermeasures.com.
