Executive Summary
This entrance has three significant vulnerabilities that compound during after-hours use. The most concerning is camera coverage - there is no visible coverage of the approach, meaning an unauthorized visitor can reach the door and attempt entry without any active surveillance. Address the camera gap within 90 days.
Findings (4)
Glass door without shatter-resistant film
The primary door is single-pane glass. An attacker can break the glass and reach through to manipulate the interior lock mechanism. Standard residential-grade glass shatters in approximately 3-5 seconds with a hardened object.
Recommended Action
Apply 8-mil security window film (3M Safety Series or equivalent) to all exterior glass. Cost is roughly $8-12 per square foot installed. Forces an attacker to spend 60+ seconds breaching, which is enough for a lockdown response.
Estimated cost: $800 – $2,400
No camera coverage on this approach
There is no visible camera covering the path from the parking lot to this door. An unauthorized visitor can approach, observe the door, and attempt entry without triggering any review. After-hours, this is the most likely unauthorized-entry vector.
Recommended Action
Install one IP camera with 30-day cloud retention covering the approach (~$400-800 for hardware, ~$15/month for storage). Position to capture both the door and a wide view of the path. Ensure it streams to a monitored DVR or a phone alert system.
Estimated cost: $600 – $1,200
Landscaping creates a visual blind spot
The shrubs adjacent to the door grow to roughly 5 feet tall and extend within 4 feet of the entrance. This creates concealment for someone waiting to push through behind an authorized entrant (tailgating) or a defender's reduced ability to observe approach.
Recommended Action
Trim the shrubs to a maximum height of 30 inches. Maintain a 6-foot setback from the door. This is a CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) baseline. Cost is one landscaping visit (~$200-400).
Estimated cost: $200 – $400
Door signage missing visible room number
If a 911 call is made from inside the building, responding officers need to identify which door to enter. This door has no large, externally-visible identifier.
Recommended Action
Install reflective 6-inch numerals visible from 50 feet. Best practice is to match the numbering scheme that PD has on file for your campus. Cost: under $50.
Estimated cost: $30 – $80

The honest version
PRAESIDIUM is a preliminary analysis tool. It catches what is visible in a photo. It cannot replace an on-site walkthrough where two officers physically test doors, observe operational flow, and interview staff.
Treat PRAESIDIUM output as the starting list. The full SHIELD Assessment validates findings, surfaces what photos miss (procedure gaps, communication trees, drill cadence), and produces the document insurers and FEMA actually require.
