Security Risk Consultancy
Security risk consultancy starts with a face- to- face or virtual meeting to gather information regarding the nature of security needs, including gaining knowledge of client business activities, facilities and operational norms. Thereafter, we will apply tools such as risk surveys, probability/impact assessments inter alia, in order to analyse you specific needs and determine best suited mitigation measures.
Our Security risk consultancy services are designed to ensure that clients are provided with a clear standing of their security posture. Our recommendations may lead to proposed upgrades or even downgrades of security measures where ineffective and redundant security systems are depleting clients’ budgets without any positive returns.
How we do it
Risk Assessment
Comprises of the identification, evaluation, and estimation of the levels of risks involved in a situation. But also their comparison against benchmarks or standards, and determination of an acceptable level of risk. Furthermore, risk factors are determined by the relationship between the probability of a loss in event and the potential impact such could have on the organisation.
Security Surveys
A Security Survey is a thorough physical examination of a facility and its operations with respect to personnel and company assets. We examine the risks these assets are exposed to, and review the measures that are in place. We measure those against industry best-practices to protect them and identify shortcomings. Finally, the ultimate the goal is to mitigate liability.
Propose Security Solutions
Security solutions are tailor made based on particular risks identified in previous steps which could negatively impact your business and result in monetary or physical losses. We ensure that our proposed solutions are cost effective & are aligned with your existing company processes & operations to not compromise or hinder any productivity.
What we do
Initial/Basic Security Assessments
A face-value security assessment of risks which may bring harm to your business with limited main recommendations to reduce risk.
Security Integrity Assessment/Survey
A security survey/physical security assessment or audit of the state of security in order to identify weaknesses in the security system. The assessment will provide a rating of how effective each security measure is in protecting predetermined threats. The report will also highlight any excessive security measures as this also is construed as loss to the Client. Recommendations are made to improve security in weak areas identified.
Security Risk & Vulnerability Assessments
Identifying key assets and processes to your organization that needs protection. Extensive study of the security risks that could potentially impact your business and prioritize risks in terms of severity. Intensive research is conducted on historic data pertaining to losses in the organization as well as in the geographic environment and even similar organizations to identify the frequency of incidents and use the data to predict future incidents. Vulnerability is calculated by measuring the risk to assets given their levels of protection thus resulting in a degree of risk exposure also known as vulnerability.
