Property security in the educational context is one of the fundamental pillars for ensuring the physical and psychological integrity of students, employees, visitors, and for preserving institutional property. In private educational institutions, where there is a high flow of people and sensitive material assets, the adoption of effective preventive and reactive strategies is imperative. This article presents the results of a case study conducted at Maple Bear Canadian School, located in the city of Porto Velho, Rondônia, aiming to identify structural, procedural, and technological vulnerabilities in the institution's property security system. The study adopts the ABNT (2018) standard as a technical reference, structuring the risk analysis in a systematic manner and in line with international standards, which makes it applicable and replicable in medium and large educational institutions. Based on situational diagnoses and critical analysis of existing protocols, it was possible to identify substantial gaps in the coverage of the video surveillance system, inconsistencies in access control procedures, as well as the absence of a properly structured and tested evacuation plan. The results obtained demonstrate that the integration of technological solutions into security management, combined with the continuous training of internal staff and the adoption of a clear institutional security policy, can promote a more resilient, secure, and prepared school environment to deal with emergencies. We conclude that property security in schools should be treated as an integral part of organizational governance, requiring investments not only in infrastructure but also in strategic planning and an organizational culture focused on prevention.
