Questions

Before you get in touch.

Is this a security audit?

No. It is advisory guidance to help you think through priorities and routines. It is not a formal audit, certification or compliance review.

Do you install cameras or alarms?

No. Equipment, installation and monitoring are provided by specialist companies. This service can help you clarify what to ask them.

What if something urgent happens?

This is not an emergency service. In an emergency, contact local emergency services.

How is it priced?

Each engagement is individually scoped, with a written quote agreed before any work begins.
