Paper Vulnerability and Compliance Reports Are Killing Your Business

As a security consultant, you deliver an important service to your clients. You’re assessing their sites’ risk, and using your experience in the physical security industry to inform your recommendations. They are looking to you to help keep their assets safe.?

But if you walk onto their site with nothing more than a clipboard, a paper checklist, and a pen, will they continue to take you seriously??

The physical industry is changing; a recent report found that organizations are embracing technology as part of their security operations. It’s time for security assessments to change as well — in fact, your clients probably expect it.

What’s wrong with paper vulnerability reports??

If your security consulting business is still using paper-based vulnerability and compliance assessments, you’re not delivering what your clients really need. Paper reports are usually little more than a standards guide—which your clients could find online within a couple of minutes. They don’t provide detailed vulnerability analysis, and they don’t give your clients corrective actions to take.

But to provide a detailed assessment would be impossible, because you simply can’t take the time to write up every issue you discover. Your reports would be unreadable, and you’d lose money spending countless hours drafting it.

Your clients don’t want to read clunky, paper-based vulnerability reports. They want comprehensive, easy-to-use digital reports. While other industries are abandoning paper and handwritten methods, your clients are wondering why you haven’t made the transition yet.

Go digital or go home

Digital technology isn’t just nice to have, it’s a necessity. As competition heats up in the physical vulnerability assessment field, consultants who use digital technology will win and sustain more clients.

Digital technology makes it possible to provide vulnerability and compliance assessments that are more than just a standards guide, and in far less time than it takes to write a paper report. Using dashboards and visualizations, you can present detailed assessments that aren’t clunky or overwhelming, and are easy to understand. And you can enter all the report data as you perform your assessment on-site.
