Security planning is a science that requires best practice planning methodology including a proper risk and vulnerability analysis followed by a holistic security plan specifically designed to mitigate defined risks.

Our planning methodology has been developed alongside 45 years’ experience in the industry.  This enables ISC to add value to your planning stages, work side by side with appointed architects and designers and enabling you to protect your commercial assets, employees and clientele.

Knowledge of criminal strategy and modus operandi are the driving force in the effective design and implementation of the security plan.

Our experience, investigations and research of criminal modus operandi and methods of breaching security is invaluable as the biggest mistake one can make is to underestimate the criminal and overestimate security systems.

ISC independently evaluates and conducts tests of all new technology, (cameras, video analytics software, perimeter and access control systems), hardware (fences, barriers, gates), protection services (armed response, guarding) and procedures to identify shortcomings determine resistance to defeat by the criminal. Shortcomings are rectified and alternative systems, designs or solutions sought.

It is vital to select reputable integrators and established suppliers. Due to the sophistication of the latest technology it is important to select accredited and experienced integrators and suppliers with a proven track record. We have the experience to nominate the best.

Off-site monitoring by independent companies has become an essential part of the security plan.  We have assessed the reputable control centres and are able to advise on the most appropriate.

ISC offers a project specific and security project oversight function with continuous applied quality assurance throughout to ensure handover and signoff. Once implemented and adopted, with policies, processes and procedures updated and aligned, the new security standard is maintained through ongoing Risk Management.

Outsourced Security Risk Management

ISC proposes an ongoing Risk Management function where an international standard is rolled out to all developments. This ensures that once these standards are implemented a quality assurance function is maintained.

Our consultants are totally independent, highly qualified and experienced in the full spectrum of security planning. A risk analyst will assess the threat, likely modus operandi and risks/vulnerabilities, their significance and their combined impact on the project or facility.

Our risk analysis formula and holistic integrated security planning process will be utilised to bring developments up to an international standard, thereafter risk management, including the management of all the disciplines of security, service providers, security assets and standard operational procedures will be managed by ISC on behalf the client.
