Perimeter & boundary
The outer edge — wall, gate and approach.
Entry points
Doors and windows — where most break-ins happen.
Lighting & visibility
Light and sightlines deter and expose.
Detection & surveillance
Knowing something is happening, in time.
Alarm & response
Turning detection into action.
Habits & access
The human layer — often the weakest.
Major gaps across layers. Start with the high-impact fixes below.
