The Home Security Assessment Report provides an objective evaluation of your existing security measures, identifies areas of security weakness, and provides a list of specific recommendations for security improvements at your home. Recommendations for security improvements are prioritized into three categories:
- Urgent problems that should be corrected immediately;
- Things that would greatly improve security at the home;
- Optional enhancements to security.
