• {{concerns}}: Any specific concerns or areas of focus (e.g., server room, entry points).

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
2. Analyze the current physical security measures, identifying potential vulnerabilities and gaps.
3. Assess the effectiveness of these measures against common threats (e.g., unauthorized access, theft, sabotage).
4. Recommend enhancements, prioritizing based on risk and cost-effectiveness.

• Flag any assumptions about the facility or threat model.
• Stay within physical security scope; do not delve into cybersecurity unless explicitly asked.

Example Facility: Data center; Current measures: badge access, CCTV, security guards; Concerns: server room access.
