Many of our clients do not understand the role or the benefits of Security Consultants (also referred to as Security Risk Management Consultants & or Security Advisors) when they first come to us. Some clients are often unsure how a security Consultant can help them. When we think of Security many people’s minds quickly turn to High fences, Uniformed Guards, and Guard Dogs. But the topic of security covers far more than this. Modern security considerations include how you protect yourself from threats within your organisation, how the culture of the organisation creates vulnerabilities and how to maximise the safety of people in the varied spaces they routinely inhabit, be this at home, in the office or in transit.

Hence a security consultant is a professional security advisor who helps steer you in the right direction to maximise your safety yet often minimise expenses at the same time. Their job is to gain an understanding of any security issue or concern and provide you with solutions for that problem. This seems like a narrow field, but it is far wider than many would have you believe. Security consultants may consider the risks you face that need to be mitigated and then offer a prioritized assessment of solutions. They may review the security practices in your organisation or of a security contractor and ensure they are providing effective and efficient services. Other days they may assist victims of stalking with effective security measures at their home and offer tactics and techniques to ensure their personal safety.
