Navigate360 School Risk Assessment is a comprehensive, on-site evaluation service designed to help K-12 schools and districts identify immediate and long-term security risks. Credentialed assessors use best-in-class standards and federal guidelines (FEMA, DHS, NIMS, CPTED) to analyze current safety practices, physical infrastructure, and vulnerability to human threats. The process includes a gap analysis, physical and intruder vulnerability assessments, and a final report with prioritized, vendor-neutral recommendations. The assessment covers over 400 security-related questions and 1,500 rating levels, providing clear visibility into risk levels and actionable steps for improvement. The service is intended to guide strategic investment, support compliance, and integrate with broader school safety initiatives.
