Physical Security Assessment for Manufacturing Facilities in Chicagoland
Manufacturing facilities are complex environments. Large floor plans, multiple entry points, shift-based workforces, high-value equipment, and a constant flow of vendors and contractors create security challenges that most generic security programs were never built to handle.
Recent data shows 68% of manufacturing companies have experienced a security breach involving physical assets.
JG Good Corp comes to your facility, identifies every vulnerability, and gives you a clear, prioritized plan to fix them before they become incidents.
We serve manufacturing facilities across Schaumburg, Glenview, Lake Forest, and greater Chicagoland.

What a Physical Security Assessment Covers
JG Good Corp conducts a thorough, on-site evaluation of your manufacturing facility. Every assessment is specific to your building, your operations, and your workforce. We do not apply a generic checklist. We look at your facility the way a threat looks at it — from the outside in.
Perimeter Security
We evaluate fencing, gates, lighting, vehicle barriers, and external access points. We identify blind spots in your perimeter coverage and assess whether your current setup deters, delays, or does nothing to stop unauthorized access.
Access Control Systems
We assess your current access control infrastructure — key card systems, visitor management, credential management, and how consistently policies are enforced across shifts and departments. We identify where access is granted that should not be and where controls are not functioning as intended.
Surveillance Coverage
We review your camera placement, coverage areas, recording quality, and monitoring protocols. Most manufacturing facilities we assess have surveillance gaps that would prevent them from identifying what happened during an incident, let alone who was responsible.
Lighting Assessment
Inadequate lighting is one of the most common and most correctable security vulnerabilities in manufacturing environments. We assess exterior and interior lighting across your facility and identify areas where poor visibility creates risk.
Visitor and Contractor Management
We evaluate how vendors, contractors, and visitors are signed in, credentialed, escorted, and monitored during their time in your facility. We identify gaps in your third-party access protocols that create liability and security risk.
Employee Security Awareness
We assess whether your workforce understands your security policies, knows how to report suspicious activity, and has received any training relevant to the security risks specific to your facility and industry.
Emergency Response Preparedness
We review your emergency response plans, evaluate whether they are practical for your specific facility layout, and identify gaps in your procedures for active threat situations, medical emergencies, and other critical incidents.
Written Assessment Report
Every assessment concludes with a written report that documents our findings, identifies vulnerabilities by risk level, and provides specific, prioritized recommendations. This report is your roadmap for building a stronger security posture and your documentation that you took reasonable steps to assess and address security risks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a manufacturing facility security assessment take?
It depends on the size and complexity of your facility. A single-building assessment typically takes a few hours on-site. Larger facilities with multiple buildings, multiple shifts, or complex access control systems take longer. We scope every assessment based on your specific situation. Contact us and we will give you an honest timeline.
What do we receive at the end of the assessment?
You receive a written report documenting our findings, the vulnerabilities identified, and specific, prioritized recommendations. This report is yours to keep, share with your leadership team, and use as documentation that you conducted a professional security assessment.
Do you recommend specific vendors or equipment?
No. JG Good Corp is an independent security consulting firm. We do not sell equipment, surveillance systems, or guard services. Our recommendations are objective and based entirely on what your facility needs.
We have never had a security assessment. Where do we start?
Start by calling us. We will ask you a few questions about your facility, your workforce, and your current security posture, and give you a clear picture of what an assessment involves and what it will reveal.
Do you serve manufacturing facilities outside Schaumburg and Glenview?
Yes. We serve manufacturing facilities throughout Chicagoland and Northern Illinois. Call us at (224) 763-0843 to confirm availability for your location.
How often should a manufacturing facility conduct a security assessment?
Security professionals generally recommend a physical security assessment whenever there is a significant change to your facility, workforce, or operations — and at minimum every two to three years. If you have never had an independent assessment, now is the right time.
Schedule Your Manufacturing Facility Security Assessment
Your facility represents a significant investment. Your employees show up every day expecting to work in a safe environment. Your organization carries real liability if a preventable security incident occurs and you cannot demonstrate you took reasonable steps to prevent it.
