Consultancy - Security Reviews

A security review involves a detailed examination of the cost-effectiveness and adequacy of all aspects of your security. The start-point for each review is a realistic assessment of the threats that your Company may face, taking into account your location and products/services, as well as the latest assessments of terrorist and activist threats. This assessment forms the basis for the remainder of the security review, focusing on those threats that you need to be most concerned about. If a particular type of threat does not apply to your Company, we will not waste your time and money recommending measures that you simply do not need to consider.

You will be provided with a detailed report that explains any weaknesses in your security arrangements, together with recommendations for improving security in the most cost-effective way. Recommendations will be pragmatic and will be prioritised to assist you in formulating a security improvements programme in a structured manner. Whenever possible, a range of options will be suggested so that you can achieve the optimum balance between the ideal situation and standards that are adequate and are affordable within your budget.

The review will include:

• Physical security and crime prevention measures.
• Security systems (CCTV, access control, intruder alarms, duress alarms, etc) and associated policies, procedures and, where appropriate, legislative matters.
• Security guarding, including vetting, recruitment and training standards, assignment instructions and operational procedures.
• Security of employees and visitors, including emergency procedures, safety of executives, security measures for business travellers and, where appropriate, the security of overseas expatriate residential accommodation.
• Information security.
• Security of other high-value assets, such as specialist stores, art collections, etc.
• Security of vital utilities.
