• Conduct targeted security audits that simulate "adversary" tactics to identify 
weaknesses in perimeter fencing, entrance gates, and high-value storage 
areas.
• Refine contingency plans for security breaches (e.g., unauthorized access or 
data exfiltration) to include formal "Post-Incident Reviews" (PIRs) that drive 
policy changes.
