What is Security Consulting & Engineering?

Our experience and position across physical and cyber security, information technology and the construction industries uniquely qualifies us to offer services uncommon to traditional security and technology consultants.

Our clients can benefit from bespoke strategies, followed by engineered solutions that holistically consider risk, operational requirements, the business case for cyber security and technology investment, and the wider architectural vision. By engaging in leading research and development, we navigate and influence industry and the regulatory and statutory landscape.

We consider a project’s key threats and critical dependencies from the outset, allowing us to design in ‘real world’ mitigation strategies that remain flexible to an evolving and increasingly complex threat landscape, whilst maintaining a project’s aesthetic and aspirations. We develop strategies that provide the right mitigation without placing obtrusive and unfriendly measures that could detract from the look of a building.
