Circadian Risk and RAD Launch SARA Assess for Continuous Physical Security Monitoring

Circadian Risk and Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD) have partnered to launch SARA Assess, an agentic AI tool designed to provide continuous verification of physical security controls. The collaboration aims to eliminate the security gaps inherent in traditional manual audits by automating the detection of facility deficiencies.

SARA Assess operates as an agentic AI assessor that monitors connected physical security controls in real time. Rather than relying on periodic inspections, the system identifies deficiencies as they occur and integrates with physical risk intelligence to update facility risk scores immediately. This automation allows the system to initiate corrective actions the moment a failure is detected. RAD, the developer of the SARA platform, operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (AITX).

The Shift from Static Audits

For years, enterprise physical security has relied on "point-in-time" assessments. These are essentially snapshots of a facility's security posture at a single moment, leaving organizations vulnerable to risks that emerge between scheduled audits. If a security control fails shortly after an inspection, the deficiency may remain unnoticed until the next cycle.

Circadian Risk provides the physical risk intelligence platform, while RAD contributes the agentic AI capabilities. This partnership allows SARA's AI to operate beyond RAD's own hardware ecosystem, creating a broader layer of intelligence that can oversee various connected security devices across an enterprise.

Implications for Risk Management

This shift moves physical risk management from a reactive, manual process to a continuous intelligence cycle. By closing the window between the detection of a security failure and the initiation of a work order, organizations can maintain a more accurate security posture across multiple facilities simultaneously.

"Physical risk does not stand still between assessments, and now the assessment process does not have to either," said Michael Martin, CEO of Circadian Risk. Steve Reinharz, CEO of RAD, added that SARA Assess "connects artificial intelligence with action in the physical security environment."

Future Outlook

As enterprises integrate more IoT-connected security hardware, the demand for automated oversight is expected to grow. The industry is moving toward a model where security is a live data stream rather than a checklist. Future developments will likely focus on how these agentic systems can further automate the remediation process without human intervention, though the current focus remains on the immediate identification and scoring of physical risks.
