Operational Security
A security operation can be made up of many components, both in-house as well as contracted or outsourced. For security to be truly effective it requires that all elements work together in a holistic way and according to a clearly communicated plan or strategy. Within our consulting team, we have Operational Security specialists covering all aspects including security management, guarding, the Security Operations Centre and the supply chain.
We have consultants who have worked on the client side and others who have delivered operational security services as service provider. It is this proven experience and solutions know-how that equips us when dealing with the broadest range of issues, and in formulating our strategic advice, mitigation planning and audit services.
