Warehouse and Supply Chain
Security Assessments and Investigations
LPT Security Consulting is an independent security
consulting firm that is not affiliated with any
service
provider or vendor that may provide physical security hardware or
services.
We conduct security assessments for warehouses and
distribution centers and their
supply chains.
Warehouses present a very unique set of hurdles
whether there is just one or a disparate number of
large complexes. Here, size does not matter,
only the approach to the environment matters.
We ensure you have the "best for
business" approach to satisfy your needs. We will provide actionable,
cost effective recommendations and can follow the process through from the
creation of an RFP to monitoring installation of equipment.

process for a security assessment click here.
Aspects of your security program that
should be regularly reviewed:
- How are you preventing or deterring
employee theft?
- Lighting: Do you have the
recommended lumens?
- Does your alarm have a cellular back
up?
- Perimeter physical security: What
considerations are there for fencing and outer doors/windows?
- Access control and policies: Who
manages your access control? How often is it reviewed for
accuracy?
- Employee Parking: How close do
they park to docks and dumpster?
- Review of security related equipment:
How old is that VCR (If it is a VCR it's time to go digital)? Planning on going digital?
- Review of periodic auditing efforts:
Do you have a self audit program?
- Review of physical layout of internal warehouse to
include distribution of CCTV, protection of sensitive cargo, and cross
docking methods: When was the last time the layout was reviewed to
ensure protection needs have not changed?
- Protection of cargo in transit:
Are you using RFID, GPS, special seals?
- Employee Theft Policies.

Warehouses and Distribution Centers are often
the target of organized crime. These are
highly sophisticated teams that operate with
military-level intelligence and precision.
We provide security expert
witness services related to alarm failures
due to the compromise of land-line and cellular
alarm systems.
