Who needs a security consultant?

Firstly we would like to ask a couple of questions....

How many CCTV installation company salesmen will tell you that a camera is an unnecessary purchase because the risk does not justify the expense?

How many fencing contractors would discourage you from installing fencing around the complete perimeter of your facility and recommend you concentrate on target hardening the vulnerable points?

Not many, we think. A salesman's priority is the sale. He can see you have a requirement, he knows he's got a solution and it's not in his or his company's best interests to talk you out of spending money.

On the other hand, the cost of employing a consultant may seem an unnecessary expense, but in the long term we believe the independent expertise and advice you receive will positively contribute to a more effective security strategy, not limited by a particular company product portfolio, competition between installers on a level playing field and lower whole life costs.
