Why This Matters
Most security gaps aren't discovered until after an incident.
Houses of worship and faith communities are among the most openly accessible facilities in any neighborhood. That openness is a strength — and a vulnerability. When something goes wrong, leadership is often asked a hard question: What plan did you have?
A Grey Group site security assessment gives you an honest, structured answer to that question — not after an incident, but before one. Our assessors document what they find, score every vulnerability, and deliver a prioritized roadmap your leadership can act on.
We do not sell equipment. We do not represent any product manufacturer. Our fee is for the assessment, the analysis, and the report — nothing else.
Structured — not improvised
Every assessment follows the same 87-question framework across 7 domains. Every gap is documented with a specific location and a prioritized recommendation.
Deliverable-based — not verbal feedback
You receive a written Assessment Report and a scored Risk Register in Excel — tools your leadership team can hold, share, and act on.
Grant-compatible — when you're ready
Your assessment is the foundation for a federal security grant application. Phase I findings drive Phase II — a complete grant preparation package built on your documented vulnerabilities.
Veteran-led — SDVOSB certified
Grey Group is an SDVOSB-certified firm. Our founder brings 20+ years of operational experience from U.S. Army Special Forces and intelligence operations.
What We Evaluate
Seven Security Domains. One Complete Picture.
Every assessment covers all seven domains — no gaps, no skipped categories. What's found in each domain drives the risk register and the prioritized recommendations.
Domain 01
Perimeter & Access Control
Fencing, gates, vehicle barriers, entry points, and signage. Who can approach and how.
Domain 02
Physical Security & Locking
Door hardware, window protection, interior locks, and facility hardening measures.
Domain 03
Surveillance & Detection
Camera coverage, recording capability, lighting, and monitoring systems and gaps.
Domain 04
Communications & Alerting
Internal comms, public address, mass notification, and staff alerting capability.
Domain 05
Response Planning & Procedures
Active threat protocols, evacuation plans, shelter-in-place procedures, and drills.
Domain 06
Personnel & Training
Safety team composition, credentialed staff, training currency, and role clarity.
Domain 07
Cybersecurity Baseline
Administrative systems, guest networks, donor data, and digital exposure basics.
Result
Prioritized Risk Register
Every gap scored by likelihood and impact. Ranked by urgency. Assigned to a 14-day, 30–90 day, or 90+ day action window.
How It Works
Four Steps from Uncertainty to Clarity
01
Discovery Call
A 15–30 minute conversation to understand your facility, your current posture, and what you want from the assessment. No commitment required at this stage.
02
Engagement Agreement
We confirm scope, fee, and timeline. You complete the pre-assessment intake form. We set your on-site walkthrough date with your facility point of contact.
03
On-Site Walkthrough
A credentialed assessor walks your facility against the 87-question framework. Every gap is documented with a specific location, photographs where appropriate, and priority notes.
04
Report Delivery
Your Assessment Report and scored Risk Register are delivered. We walk your leadership through the findings on a call — what to prioritize now, what can wait, and what belongs in a longer-term plan.
What You Receive
Deliverables Your Leadership Can Use
Every Phase I engagement produces two formal deliverables — a written report and a working risk register — plus a delivery call. These are tools, not binders. They give your leadership team a documented basis for decisions, investments, and, if applicable, grant applications.
Phase I — Site Security Assessment
Faith-based organizations, nonprofits, and community organizations. Travel billed separately beyond standard radius.
📄
Professional Assessment Report
Executive summary, domain-by-domain findings, photographs, and prioritized recommendations. Written for your leadership team — not for security specialists.
📊
Scored Risk Register (.xlsx)
Every identified gap scored by likelihood and impact. Prioritized into three action windows: 0–14 days, 30–90 days, and 90+ days. Includes owner fields and notes columns.
🏗️
Priority Hardening Recommendations
Specific, vendor-neutral recommendations for each identified deficiency. Described in competitively procurable terms — no brand dependencies.
📞
Leadership Delivery Call
We walk your senior leadership through findings, prioritization, and next steps — what to address immediately, what belongs in a 90-day plan, and whether a federal security grant pathway is a fit for your organization.
🔗
Grant-Ready Foundation (Optional Path)
Phase I findings feed directly into Phase II — security grant application preparation. The Phase I report becomes the evidentiary basis for your investment justification. Ask about the Phase I + II Bundle.
The Full Pathway
Assessment First. Funding Next.
The Phase I assessment is a standalone product — but it's also the first step in a complete four-phase engagement model. If your organization is eligible for a federal security grant, Phase I is the required foundation. Many clients begin with Phase I, then engage Phase II after reviewing their findings.
I
Site Security Assessment
Structured 87-question evaluation. Assessment Report and scored Risk Register delivered.
II
Security Grant Application Preparation
Full grant preparation package: gap analysis, capability requirements, investment justification, and supporting deliverables — built directly from Phase I findings.
III
Post-Award Implementation Support
If the grant is awarded, we manage vendor solicitation, procurement compliance, and implementation tracking through the full award period.
∞
Grant Watch Program
Annual grant cycle monitoring — deadlines, program changes, and eligibility updates — so your organization stays ready for the next application window.

Common Questions
What leaders ask before they start
Do we need to have a security incident before this makes sense?
No. Most organizations engage us when a nearby incident makes the risk feel real, when a board member or insurer starts asking hard questions, or when new leadership wants to understand the facility's actual posture. The assessment is most useful before an incident — not after.
We have a volunteer safety team already. Do we still need this?
A safety team is an asset — and this assessment will help them. We document what's working, what gaps exist, and what your team should prioritize. The Risk Register gives them a structured tool to track progress and report to leadership.
Is this a sales pitch for security equipment or systems?
No. Grey Group is an independent consulting firm. We do not sell equipment, represent any product manufacturer, or receive referral compensation from vendors. All recommendations are described in vendor-neutral terms so you can get competitive quotes from any qualified vendor.
How long does the assessment take, and how disruptive is it?
The on-site walkthrough typically takes 2–4 hours depending on facility size. We coordinate around your service schedule and minimize disruption to normal operations. The Report and Risk Register are delivered within 10–14 business days of the walkthrough.
What's the difference between this and a full TVRA?
The Phase I Site Security Assessment focuses on physical security posture across seven domains. The full TVRA adds threat intelligence analysis, cyber baseline evaluation, insider threat assessment, and consequence modeling — a more comprehensive product for organizations with complex risk environments.
Can the assessment be used for a grant application?
Yes — and this is one of the most common paths. The Phase I report is the required evidentiary foundation for a federal security grant application. Many clients begin with Phase I and move to Phase II (grant preparation) after reviewing their findings. Ask about the Phase I + II Bundle.
