What You’ll Get

A CAP Index Guard Allocation model can help you:

  • Optimize security budgets and resource allocation
  • Justify the removal of guards where they’re no longer needed
  • Address evolving risks before they become problems
  • Demonstrate security ROI to leadership
  • Better protect your middle-risk locations

What’s a middle-risk location?

A significant portion of a business’s locations are neither high risk nor low risk, meaning it’s less clear what security measures are needed. Avoid wasted budget at these sites by relying on objective data to guide your allocation decisions instead of subjective impressions.

Our property selectors are not discouraged from a site just because it receives a high score. What we do is issue every store – all of them – a security classification. The classification determines how we allocate our security resources to that store.

CAP Index's online platform, CRIMECAST, is great. It is easy to use and quick!

Ken Wieczorek,

In industries where there is high public contact and a customer is coming to our location (such as retail), why would you leave it to chance when planning security when there is an easy, affordable tool? When investing a million dollars on a location, what is this small charge compared to what it may cost you when you get sued?

Jay Beighley,
Nationwide Insurance

CAP Index assessments are a must for anyone engaged in asset protection. The new website is much improved and as important, easy to navigate.

We have been using CAP Index for a few years and include it in our security vulnerability assessments. Highly recommend it.
