Comprehensive Security Risk Assessment for India’s Largest Bearing Manufacturer

Client: India’s leading bearing manufacturing group
Location: Multiple high-value assets across Pune, Bengaluru, and Mysuru
Sector: Industrial Manufacturing (Automotive & Engineering)

The Situation

The client engaged MitKat Advisory to conduct a comprehensive Security Risk Assessment (SRA) across its plant, corporate office, and operational premises. As a high-value manufacturer with global linkages, the client required a full-spectrum evaluation of security vulnerabilities balancing external threats with internal controls.

The scope included

  • Equal emphasis on external and internal security controls
  • Comparative security evaluation of the three largest manufacturing sites
  • Support in building a roadmap for Enterprise-Wide Security Strategy Development

Our Response

MitKat deployed a multi-disciplinary team to execute a Threat Vulnerability Risk Assessment (TVRA), benchmarking practices against best-in-class global and industry standards. The approach involved:

  • On-ground gap assessments across five core security domains:
    1. Governance & Accountability
    2. Policy & Documented Procedures
    3. Security Infrastructure
    4. Security Resources
    5. Security Operations
  • Site vulnerability mapping through visual inspections, document reviews, and stakeholder interactions
  • Comparative benchmarking of risk exposures and control efficiency across plants
  • Roadmap and PERT matrix for recommended improvements

Key Findings

The audit revealed following vulnerabilities:

  • Physical Security Gaps: Sites had uneven fencing, substandard boom barriers, and weak vehicle entry controls. Pedestrian zones lacked surveillance and proper access checks.
  • Screening & Access Control Issues: There were no lady security provisions, baggage checks were inconsistent, and alcohol/drug screening protocols were absent.
  • Governance Weaknesses:Centralized oversight was missing, SOPs were outdated or incomplete, and security infrastructure was unevenly deployed across locations.

The Outcome

The final report provided the client with:

  • A plant-wise security maturity matrix
  • A phased risk mitigation roadmap
  • Clear accountability for implementation
  • Foundational input for their Enterprise-Wide Security Strategy

MitKat’s TVRA-led approach enabled India’s top bearing company to transition from fragmented security practices to an integrated, future-ready framework reducing immediate risks and enhancing long-term resilience.
