For all faiths across Europe
Places of worship are by design open to all, but this can also make them vulnerable to attacks.
EFI carries out risk assessments of places of worship to identify threats and areas that need to be strengthened from a security perspective, and makes recommendations on how to do so.

Our Service
Places of worship are intended to be open and welcoming to all – they serve local faith communities and have to be readily accessible. However, this very trait also makes them vulnerable to attack, posing risks for faith leaders, staff and worshippers. Sadly, the record of incidents of damage, vandalism, desecration, theft, etc. directed against places of worship in Europe and elsewhere all too clearly illustrates the security threat faced by places of worship.
It is important to strengthen security of places of worship while retaining their open nature, and ensuring worshippers and others can still readily avail their services. EFI supports this by conducting on-site risk assessments of places of worship, identifying vulnerabilities and making recommendations/providing guidance on how to address these.
Outcomes
The EFI risk assessment of places of worship has the following outcomes:
- Identification of areas of concern from a security perspective
- Strategies to mitigate risks and improve security
- Awareness-raising among all stakeholders of risks, actions needed and who is responsible for these
- Formulation of emergency responses
- Checklist of all recommendations, which can be ticked off as they are implemented.
