Security Risk Assessment Services in BC
Trans World Security Services Ltd. provides security risk assessment services that help organisations identify vulnerabilities, review existing measures and plan practical improvements. Assessments are based on the site, operation, history and the concerns raised by the client. Licensed under the Security Services Act, licence B4204.
Service Overview
Security Assessment and Security Consulting Services Across BC
A security risk assessment is a structured review of how a site is accessed, monitored, lit and staffed, and where those arrangements leave gaps. Trans World Security Services Ltd. provides security risk assessment services across BC under Security Business Licence B4204, issued by the Security Programs Division.
The result is a clear picture of current exposure and a set of recommendations that can be acted on in order of priority. Our recommendations are written to be practical — we consider budget, operational impact and what can realistically be implemented rather than presenting an ideal that will never be used. Security consulting is one of the categories we deliver in-house, so risk assessment services can be followed by guard, patrol or concierge coverage from the same licensed provider.

F.A.Q
Risk Assessment Questions
Find answers to common questions about security risk assessment, scope, reports and pricing.
A security risk assessment is a structured review of a site's access, monitoring, procedures and vulnerabilities, resulting in written recommendations ranked in order of priority.
It depends on the size and complexity of the site. A single retail unit takes far less time than a multi-building industrial operation. We confirm the expected scope and timing before any work begins.
Yes. Every security risk assessment results in a written report setting out vulnerabilities identified and practical recommendations, prioritised so you can act on the most important items first.
No. The report is yours to act on however you choose. We can supply guarding, patrol or concierge coverage if you want it, but the assessment is not conditional on hiring us for anything further.
Before opening a new site, after an incident, when renewing security arrangements, or when insurance or compliance requirements call for a review.
Assessment pricing depends on the size of the site, the number of locations, and the depth of review required. Because scope varies so widely between a single unit and a multi-building operation, we agree what the assessment will cover and confirm the fee before any work begins — call 778 855 3065 to discuss your site.
