How does it work?
The VSAT™ assessment targets five fundamental security-related categories:
-
- Risk management and emergency procedures
- Physical security
- Personnel security
- Good housekeeping
- IT infrastructure and information security
VSAT™’s unique range of multiple choice questions uses algorithmic technology to process information. Automatic analysis of your answers enables VSAT™ to pinpoint a range of business-critical vulnerabilities and determine your risk score against best-practice, as advised by the UK Government, its agencies, recognised standards and security professionals.

Client testimonies
“VSAT™ (Vulnerability Self-Assessment tool) was a worthy exercise to undertake for Next, by bringing together data from a number of sites we were able to look at the core areas of the business. The output of this is that it has highlighted to the team areas we are good and areas we need to improve upon.
The ongoing work will ultimately improve our risk management across the business, it is one of those rarities in risk management in that the return on the investment is incredibly high.”
NEXT PLC
“VSAT™ has been an invaluable tool for assessing the portfolio of one of our largest landlord clients. As a direct result of using VSAT™, our client was able to gain a thorough understanding of the current maturity of their terrorism risk management and successfully secure a discount off their terrorism premium. The tool is easy to use, secure and signposts users to a wealth of UK best practice guidance which not only helps to mitigate the threat of terrorism but also against other criminal activities that threaten properties in the UK.
We would highly recommend VSAT™ to any company looking to help their clients understand their terrorism and security risk management vulnerabilities, which, in turn, can help prioritise and better allocate finite resources and identify ways to strengthen the resilience across their portfolios.”
