Situational Awareness

The Situational Awareness module helps you build a complete threat profile of any facility. Document entry points, cameras, barriers, and security personnel to create actionable intelligence.

Use This Data For

Penetration Testing — Reverse-plan entry attempts based on documented vulnerabilities
Security Policy — Guide policy decisions with real-world observations
Facility Design — Assist with new facility build-outs and renovations
Risk Assessment — Quantify security posture and identify gaps
Client Reporting — Export comprehensive threat profiles for stakeholders
