FAQ
What types of security services do you offer?
We provide a comprehensive range of security solutions, including physical penetration testing, manned guarding, security risk assessments, threat analysis, and governance reviews. Every service is tailored to the client’s environment and operational requirements to deliver measurable, effective protection.
How do your manned guarding services work?
Our security officers provide on-site protection to deter crime, prevent unauthorised access, and respond rapidly to incidents. We can supply dedicated teams or flexible cover, and all staff are trained, licensed, and briefed on each client’s specific site requirements and risk profile.
Do you conduct physical penetration testing?
Yes. Our penetration testing services identify real-world vulnerabilities in your physical security controls, such as access points, alarms, and surveillance systems. Each assessment simulates an adversary attempting to breach your defences, followed by a full report and actionable recommendations.
Are your security operations compliant with UK law?
Absolutely. All of our work is carried out in accordance with UK legislation and industry best practice. Our operatives are SIA-licensed, and our risk assessments and reviews are aligned with recognised security and counter-terrorism frameworks.
What does a security assessment include?
A typical assessment covers access control, CCTV placement, perimeter integrity, staff procedures, and emergency response. We evaluate current measures, identify weaknesses, and provide practical, prioritised recommendations to enhance your security posture.
How do you ensure confidentiality and professionalism on site?
Discretion and professionalism are central to our operations. Our personnel are trained to operate unobtrusively, maintain confidentiality, and represent your brand to the highest standard while ensuring safety and compliance.
Can you support existing security teams or policies?
Yes. We often work alongside in-house security and facilities teams, providing independent oversight, gap analysis, or support during audits and incidents. We can also assist in reviewing and updating security policies and procedures.
Do you provide reports or documentation after an assessment?
Every project concludes with a detailed report outlining findings, photographic evidence (where appropriate), and clear, actionable recommendations. This helps clients prioritise mitigation measures and demonstrate compliance to stakeholders.
How long does a typical security project take?
Project duration depends on scope and complexity. A small-site vulnerability review may take 1–2 days, while a full penetration test or governance assessment can take several weeks. We’ll provide an estimated timeline during consultation.
