Why a Security Risk Assessment could save your business time, money and reputation

Security threats are no longer just a concern for large corporates or critical infrastructure. From commercial properties to logistics sites, schools, retail, and office spaces – vulnerabilities exist everywhere. And in many cases, business owners or facilities teams aren’t fully aware of the risks they’re carrying until it’s too late.

That’s where an independent, expert-led security risk assessment comes in.

Our physical and cyber security review

At Lexnis Risk and Cyber Security, we offer a focused 3-day physical and cyber security review, developed by our director, Craig Mason who has over 20 years’ experience in physical security and risk management. The aim? To give business leaders clarity, control, and confidence in their current security posture — and the steps needed to strengthen it.

“Security is everyone’s responsibility – but that only works when people know what to look out for”

“We created this review because many organisations have never had a proper joined-up security assessment. They’re relying on inherited systems, siloed teams, or outdated procedures. Our process brings fresh eyes and experience to highlight what’s working, what isn’t, and what to do next.” – Craig Mason, Director, Lexnis Risk and Cyber Security.

What is a security risk assessment?

A security risk assessment is a structured review of your organisation’s ability to prevent, detect, and respond to potential threats.

That includes reviewing:

  • Physical access control and perimeter security
  • Alarm and CCTV coverage
  • Internal procedures and documentation
  • Personnel risks, lone working, and shift-based access
  • Cyber security basics: network setup, endpoint protection, staff awareness
  • Emergency planning, incident response, and reporting

This is not a surface-level check. The Lexnis approach is practical, honest, and focused on identifying real risks in real environments.

What we cover in our 3-day review

We’ve designed the process to be efficient, thorough, and respectful of live operations.

Day 1: Site Engagement and Observation

We carry out a walkthrough of your site(s), meet key stakeholders, review policies, and observe operations to understand how your business functions and where the risks may sit.

Day 2: Threat Analysis and Evaluation

Using frameworks developed in-house, we assess the risks based on impact and likelihood, identifying vulnerabilities and blind spots across both physical and digital spaces.

Day 3: Reporting and Recommendation

We deliver a clear, written report with practical next steps, including:

  • Identified risks categorised by severity
  • Recommendations (both quick wins and long-term fixes)
  • Optional briefing session with your senior team or key stakeholders
