Prepare for a DFW Security Assessment | PGC

How to prepare for a security assessment or site walk

A useful security assessment starts with the problems you want to solve. Powerhouse Guardians can review your property, existing equipment, and operational needs before proposing a practical system scope.

Define your priorities

Choose the areas that matter most: entrances, parking lots, gates, package rooms, loading docks, restricted rooms, or after-hours activity. Explain what you need to see, document, or control in each area.

Gather available information

  • Property type, city, number of locations, and authorized site contact.
  • Existing camera, recorder, access control, and alarm brands or models.
  • Approximate camera and door counts, current software, and known service subscriptions.
  • Coverage gaps, recurring issues, and the required recording or alert outcomes.
  • Available floor plans or a simple site sketch, with sensitive details shared through an agreed channel.
  • Desired timeline, approximate budget range, and any scheduled construction or tenant changes.

Plan site access

Arrange access to the relevant entrances, equipment rooms, and viewing areas. Have an authorized facilities or IT contact available when possible. Do not email passwords or alarm codes; system access can be coordinated separately if needed.

What the review helps determine

The assessment informs camera placement, equipment reuse, cabling and power needs, network dependencies, access-control requirements, and support expectations. Recommendations and pricing depend on the verified scope and site conditions.

Next step

Request a security assessment through the PGC website or call (469) 927-6524. Include your property type, city, and the main issue you want to improve.
