What is a safety assessment?

A safety assessment has two components: Risk and Vulnerability. Risk assessment is a process that identifies potential hazards and analyzes their possible consequences. Vulnerability assessment is a systematic process that identifies, evaluates, and prioritizes security weaknesses in an organization's systems, networks, and physical location.

Currently, professional Assessors review physical locations and procedural risk factors and share their findings with law enforcement agencies. These Safety assessments allowed for the creation of strategies and recommendations to increase safety. Moreover, assessment reporting is a vital first step in the process of allocating resources effectively and ensuring adherence to legal and regulatory standards.

So why are so few of them getting completed?

Schools are at risk

Prior to the introduction of MyClass, safety assessments suffered from delayed completion due to resource loading coupled with an old-fashioned and outdated paperwork logjam. In today's educational landscape, inadequate security assessment can have fatal consequences that extend beyond the school campus and into the lives of an entire community. In the absence of a certified safety plan, faculty and students are at a disadvantage during any emergency, be it fire, weather, an active shooter, or unauthorized access by intruders.

Safety assessments are the only way to establish a tight-loop communication channel between school campuses, law enforcement, and public safety.

Benefits of MyClass

Timely Assessments

For the first time, schools can collect and submit crucial campus information needed to complete safety assessments. Historically, the data collection phase has been the most time-consuming

Cost-Effective

By leveraging technology, schools can avoid the high costs associated with third-party vendors, coordinating travel by state employees, and the long paperwork review meetings with public safety officials

Compliant

Designed to be fully compliant with state regulations, MyClass captures the data needed to keep your school as current as possible with safety requirements

Empowerment

Schools have control over their safety assessments, fostering a proactive approach to school campus safety

School Data, Student Privacy, Campus Security

Nowhere is data security more important than in our K-12 school systems.

However, the fact remains that to assess risk and vulnerability, you need to collect data that describes these campuses. MyClass is based on Twiin's closed and secure networked communication system, safeguarding data from unauthorized users, data breaches, and virus programs access to all digital communication.

This benefits both first responders and schools, providing them with accurate, up-to-date information that remains uncontaminated and time-relevant.
