Ideally, financial institutions are places where money is not only the core business transaction, but where money is supposed to be safe, especially if so deposited by clients and investors. Unfortunately, to think of any financial institution as a ‘safe haven’ for money is to ignore the fact that they have been amongst the most robbed, heisted and attacked buildings and businesses in human history. Heists and robberies have been the stuff of media headlines and Hollywood sub-genre sensation for years and have been a part of America’s reality since the 1800s. Technology has made banks even more vulnerable, including the 2015 cyber theft of nearly $1-billion by hackers that hit over 100 banks in 30 countries, including banks in the U.S.

More than ever, a financial institution today cannot afford to have any gaps in their security management system. Assessments, surveys and needs analyses should be undertaken in order to better ensure the safety and security of all personnel, customers and visitors to
