Multi-threat Vulnerability Assessments
Effective risk-reduction programs require a clear understanding of current vulnerabilities. At Stone Security Engineering, we assist our government and commercial clients in quantifying these vulnerabilities through Multi-Threat Vulnerability Assessments. These assessments cover a wide range of potential attack modes, including Explosions (whether from VBIED or MBIEDs), Vehicle Ramming, Ballistics, and Mob Attacks.
By conducting Multi-Threat Vulnerability Assessments, we provide clients with valuable insights into their security posture. These assessments help identify areas of weakness and highlight potential risks that need to be addressed. Our goal is to assist clients in developing comprehensive risk-reduction strategies tailored to their specific needs and circumstances.
Our team of experts works closely with clients throughout the assessment process. We gather relevant information about the facility or organization, assess potential threats, and evaluate existing security measures. Through careful analysis and consideration, we provide clients with actionable recommendations to enhance their security and protect against a range of potential threats.
We understand the importance of addressing vulnerabilities proactively. By identifying and quantifying risks early on, clients can implement measures to mitigate these risks and improve overall security. Our Multi-Threat Vulnerability Assessments serve as a valuable tool in this process, helping clients create safer and more secure environments for their personnel and assets.
Industrial Risk Assessments
Stone Security Engineering offers comprehensive risk assessments tailored to our industrial clients. These assessments focus on evaluating the potential consequences of intentional or accidental releases of blast, fire, or toxic hazards. By conducting consequence-based or quantitative risk assessments, we help clients understand the potential impacts of these events and develop strategies to mitigate their effects.
Collaboration is key to our approach. We work closely with our clients to identify critical assets, potential attack modes, and scenarios involving accidental releases. By understanding their unique operational challenges and vulnerabilities, we can develop targeted solutions to enhance safety and security. Through this collaborative process, we aim to identify and address single points of failure that could compromise the integrity of their facilities.
Once the parameters are established, our team conducts thorough analyses of existing buildings and facility components. We assess the current conditions and identify areas where improvements are needed to reduce risk and enhance safety. Our assessments include recommendations for cost-effective measures that prioritize safety, security, and protection. By providing actionable insights, we empower our clients to make informed decisions and implement effective risk mitigation strategies.
Criteria and Standards Development
At Stone, we understand that every situation is unique, and there are no one-size-fits-all solutions when it comes to protecting people and property from terrorist attacks or accidental releases of hazardous materials. What works in one location may not be suitable for another. For example, security standards appropriate for the Financial District in New York City may not be relevant for a building in a downtown area in the Midwest. Similarly, standards developed for buildings on military bases in the United States may not meet the needs of a compound in Kabul.
When it comes to designing facilities and buildings exposed to terrorist attacks or hazardous materials, specific criteria and standards are necessary. These criteria would differ based on the nature of the facility and its location. For instance, the design criteria for a building in an industrial or petrochemical plant would vary significantly from those for a commercial office building. Drawing on our extensive experience working with various types of buildings and facilities, Stone collaborates with clients to develop customized criteria and standards. These tailored solutions address the unique risk reduction, safety, security, resilience, and protection needs of their organizations.
By working closely with our clients, we ensure that the criteria and standards we develop align with their specific requirements and objectives. Our goal is to provide comprehensive and effective solutions that enhance the safety and security of their facilities while minimizing risks and vulnerabilities. With our expertise and tailored approach, we empower organizations to mitigate threats effectively and protect their assets and personnel.
A holistic approach between design and security can yield both aesthetically pleasing structures and spaces while still protecting the people and missions within.

Security RFP and Solicitation Document Development
Translating well-developed criteria and standards documents into effective Requests for Proposal (RFP) and project solicitation documents can be challenging, even for clients and owners who have a good understanding of their requirements. This process is often complex because many counter-terrorism and physical security standards are either written by security personnel or are written in a general manner to apply to various project types.
At Stone Security Engineering, we recognize the difficulties clients may face in this regard. That’s why we offer assistance to clients in integrating general security documents into project-specific RFPs and project solicitation documents. By leveraging our expertise in security engineering and project management, we help clients tailor their RFPs and project solicitation documents to meet their specific needs and objectives.
Post-Event Evaluation
Stone Security Engineering offers comprehensive expertise and analysis in post-event scenarios, aimed at enhancing site safety, security, and overall protection for future endeavors. Leveraging our years of experience and knowledge, we conduct thorough assessments to identify vulnerabilities, evaluate the effectiveness of existing security measures, and recommend improvements to fortify defenses against potential threats.
By analyzing past events and their impacts, we provide valuable insights and tailored solutions to mitigate risks, enhance emergency response protocols, and ensure the resilience of sites and structures against various hazards. Through our proactive approach and commitment to excellence, we empower clients to strengthen their security posture and safeguard their assets effectively.
