Security Reviews/Audits
The recommendations outlined in our reports will lower the
security risk factor of facilities/campus’, and enhance
the sense of wellbeing for all legitimate users. Importantly,
it will contribute to legal defence should litigation occur
in relation to violence. A Security Review Report will provide:
- workable, credible and cost effective solutions
- an Action List with recommendations that are prioritised
into areas of criticality and urgency, thereby, offering Management
a tool to plan, prioritise and budget
- a cost estimate of recommended security equipment
- support to operators, with ongoing accreditation and certification
requirements

Security System Design
We have the expertise to provide 'performance based' security
design specifications that meet the specific needs of a facility,
with the capacity of expansion. A security system design specification
will be integrated to ensure door alarms, closed circuit television
(CCTV), staff emergency/duress, 'wanderer protection' and intruder
detection are part of the one system.

Architectural Design
We provide valuable expertise to architects who are at the
design stage of new developments in 'designing out' many inherent
security related problems. Our objective is to use the built
and natural environment in a holistic and cohesive way to reduce
opportunities for crime.
