Key findings

What this report establishes

  • Perimeter gaps concentrate at secondary access points and corners.
  • Gate schedules without exception logging create after-hours ambiguity.
  • Lighting overlap is a higher ROI than adding more wide-view cameras.
Risk factors

Where loss concentrates

  • Uncontrolled after-hours access
  • Perimeter corners with low lighting and limited sightlines
  • Informal contractor entry procedures during harvest
Recommendations

Controls that reduce ambiguity

  • Adopt a locked gate schedule with exception logs and approvals.
  • Prioritize lighting overlap at corners, gates, and staging zones.
  • Place cameras where they can capture faces/plates at control points.
