Safety & security audits
The Importance of Safety & Security
​
“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.”
— Helen Keller​
At Guardian 6 Consulting, we recognize that safety and security are not things that simply exist on their own—they must be intentionally built, protected, and sustained. This truth drives our mission: to help schools, organizations, municipalities, and businesses create environments where people can learn, work, and thrive with confidence. Through comprehensive audits, CPTED-based assessments, and actionable safety planning, we provide leaders with the clarity and tools needed to move from uncertainty to preparedness.
Schools & Districts
We partner with educational leaders to conduct comprehensive Safety and Security Audits that move beyond compliance checklists to provide actionable, mission-driven insights. Our veteran-owned team draws on decades of combined expertise in military intelligence, school leadership, law enforcement, and emergency preparedness to deliver a complete evaluation of your school’s current safety measures.
Each audit is grounded in CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles, ensuring that physical spaces are designed to maximize visibility, natural access control, and positive school culture. We also incorporate the National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities (NCEF) indicators into our process, culminating in a one-page heat map that visually represents how your facility measures across 75 nationally recognized standards. This tool, along with our confidential, detailed report, provides leaders with a clear snapshot of strengths and vulnerabilities, supported by photos, mapping, and recommendations.
For administrators, the result is a clear, data-driven roadmap to enhance student and staff safety while reinforcing community trust and meeting state and federal expectations.

Municipalities & Towns
​
We support municipalities and towns by conducting comprehensive safety and security audits that incorporate CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) best practices. Our team evaluates public buildings, parks, event spaces, and municipal facilities to identify vulnerabilities and recommend design strategies that naturally deter crime and enhance community safety. This includes reviewing sightlines, lighting, landscaping, and access points to ensure spaces are welcoming, secure, and functional for daily use as well as large gatherings.
In addition, we apply the National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities (NCEF) indicators as a framework, creating a heat map report that visually represents community strengths and areas for improvement. This powerful tool, combined with our detailed, confidential recommendations, provides town leaders with clear, actionable steps to strengthen public safety, increase efficiency, and reinforce community trust.
Businesses & Nonprofits
We help businesses and non-profits strengthen safety, security, and operational resilience through customized safety and security audits rooted in CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) strategies. Our team reviews office spaces, storefronts, service centers, and community facilities to ensure environments are designed to maximize visibility, control access, and foster a safe and welcoming atmosphere. We evaluate entrances, parking areas, lighting, signage, and emergency procedures to identify vulnerabilities and recommend cost-effective solutions that balance safety with efficiency.
Using the National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities (NCEF) indicators as a guiding framework, we provide a heat map report that visually highlights areas of strength and opportunity. For organizational leaders, this process delivers a clear, actionable roadmap to protect staff, clients, and assets while supporting long-term sustainability and community trust.
