Why Conduct a School Security Audit?

A school safety and security audit is a foundational step in building a proactive safety and emergency response strategy. From entry-point security to communication protocols, every layer of your school environment must function with both efficiency and preparedness. But without a clear understanding of current vulnerabilities, schools risk being reactive rather than preventative.

Navigate360’s school safety audit process provides administrators and district leaders with an actionable snapshot of their campus safety posture. By identifying overlooked risks, outdated systems, or inconsistent policies, our audits support long-term planning, funding justification, and peace of mind for your staff and community.
