Example Self-Storage Facility
Scored across seven industry-standard domains. Higher is safer — this property has solid fundamentals with specific, fixable gaps.
Domain Risk Profile
Each spoke reflects one scoring standard. Shorter reach toward center = higher exposure in that domain.
Annotated findings from the site walk
Each assessment includes marked-up photos from your property, tying every finding to exactly where it was observed. Illustrated below for the sample property.
Main gate — manual override
Both panels found propped open outside scheduled hours, bypassing the keypad entirely.
Gap between Buildings 3 & 4
Illumination drops below 0.5 fc in this corridor — well under the IESNA-recommended level.
North perimeter fence line
Existing camera's field of view ends ~40 ft short of the fence corner.
Where to focus first
Ranked by risk reduction per dollar — the fixes at the top address the largest exposure with the least effort.
Perimeter gate left in manual-override mode overnight
Staff have been propping the gate open after hours for delivery convenience, removing the primary access barrier. Recommendation: reprogram the gate controller to enforce scheduled auto-locking, and audit override logs weekly.
Illumination gap between Buildings 3 and 4 creates a concealment zone
Measured light levels fall below 0.5 footcandles in this corridor, well under the IESNA-recommended threshold for storage aisles. Recommendation: add two pole lights to bring average illumination to 1.0 fc or higher.
~40 ft blind spot along the north perimeter fence line
Current camera placement leaves the northeast corner unmonitored, the most common entry point for perimeter breaches in similar facilities. Recommendation: reposition the existing PTZ camera or add one fixed camera to close the gap.
Visitor parking area unmonitored after office hours
The lot sits outside current camera range and office-hour staff oversight. Recommendation: extend camera coverage to the visitor lot and add signage to support natural surveillance per CPTED principles.
Missing security-camera and no-trespassing signage at two entrances
Posted signage strengthens deterrence and supports your liability position if an incident occurs. Recommendation: install signage at the north and east entrances.
