Can CSG conduct crime risk assessments for banks and financial institutions?

Yes. CSG offers both full risk assessment services and advisory support for institutions that prefer to develop their own process. Assessments are tailored to each institution's risk appetite and can cover branches, retail locations, administrative facilities, data centers, and currency handling areas.

A CSG crime risk assessment begins with a structured evaluation of each location's physical environment, historical incident data, and security infrastructure. CSG's team reviews camera placement and coverage, access control configuration, alarm system effectiveness, ATM and ITM anchoring, and the surrounding crime environment using data from sources like CAP Index and local law enforcement records. The output is a prioritized list of findings with specific, actionable recommendations — not a generic checklist.

For institutions that prefer to build internal risk assessment capability, CSG also provides advisory support: helping develop assessment frameworks, training security officers on evaluation methodology, and reviewing completed assessments to identify gaps. Either way, CSG's goal is to leave the institution better equipped to identify and address physical security vulnerabilities on an ongoing basis.
