Security consultancy helps businesses target their budgets more effectively

Security Consultancy. Working with security consultants before you put security arrangements in place has multiple business benefits. It can ensure that your budget is spent where it will most effectively mitigate the risks to the business.

Our security consultants can carry out a review of your current arrangements and score them against the risks that your business faces. It may be that there are gaps, where risks are not controlled or mitigated, and where you need to make provision to manage the risk. But it can also often be the case that money is being wasted, for example on ineffective control systems, or where the risk is low. Risks change every day, some increasing, others decreasing. It’s hard for businesses to monitor risk intelligence daily and respond appropriately to changes in the risk profile. The nature of risks also changes, often in response to specific actions by bodies such as the security services and police. Therefore, the most appropriate way to respond to the risk also changes.

When a business engages security consultants, they’re drawing on professional expertise that is constantly refreshed and kept up to date. No business can hope to do this alone. It has become a highly specialised field, and some information is only available to those with a professional security status. The consultants have a broad view of the corporate security landscape and are able to benchmark your business against others, to see how you are performing compared to your peers.

Having an accurate and up-to-the-minute view of the real risks helps businesses target their security spending in the places where it will be most effective. They can then draw on the consultants’ market intelligence, to commission those security services that are going to be of most value in controlling and mitigating the risk. This is especially important when a business is opening new operations in unfamiliar territories, where the risks may be quite different from those in the existing sites. A security firm which can advise on locality-specific risks is invaluable in keeping staff, assets and the business safe.
