### Why Risk Assessments Need to Be Conducted by Professionals

To eliminate organizational and personal bias from a risk assessment, your schools should never self-assess. When it comes to hiring a professional to conduct your risk assessment, the benefits far exceed the costs.  
 

- Integrating equipment, people and procedures is a skill  
  Certification and qualifications are weighted heavily in any liability proceedings involving risk management.  
   
- Professional certification is a rigorous process   
  ASIS International board certification is the leading physical security designation in the private sector.  
   
- Thorough risk assessments look outside/in and inside/out  
  Traditional surveys typically look only at the security measures that attempt to slow an approaching threat and provide time for response. An inside/out-outside/in survey looks at your training, infrastructure and evacuation routes for internal critical events.
