Security Review
A Security Review is a service where a security professional comes into your site or place of work to perform a security review assessment to look for vulnerabilities in order to keep your workplace safe and secure for you, your staff and your customers.
Why do a Security Review?
Robust security is all about systems, process and most importantly people. People are the enablers of the technology, systems and process that builds a culture around safety, security and awareness. It’s all part of building resilience and well-being into your organisation.
Conducting a Security Review helps keep compliance programs up to date, focused and relevant, but more importantly it’s an opportunity in time to shift your culture to one that’s more appropriate. It’s about ingraining a positive culture around risk and security awareness, and empowering your people to take ownership and be part of the solution.
A best in class Security Review focuses with a lens of people, safety and security. If your organisation "site", being a building, office space, shop (standalone or mall) , construction site, rural property, compound or needs to mitigate risk from:
Criminal offending - burglary or robbery
Angry or confrontational customers

Which Security Review provider should I use?
Look for a Security Review provider that you can Trust.
A good provider will listen to your current circumstances and understand your needs before making recommendations on what and where the specific security improvements should be made.
Look for a provider that has the trust and experience to provide independent and pragmatic advice. Your security review should be unique to your organisation, as you will have unique circumstances that present different risks.
An initial discussion around approach with the provider should allow you to understand their experience and get a good feel for Trust.
