Security audit

An audit belongs before the purchase, not after. It establishes what genuinely protects your premises, what is useless, and in which order to spend. It can be commissioned on its own, with no obligation to give us the installation.

How the engagement runs

5 stages, from the site survey to handover. Each one is agreed with you before the next begins.

Request a site survey
  1. Framing

    We start from what you want to protect, people, stock, a till, data. An audit with no stated priority produces a shopping list, not a decision.

  2. On-site assessment

    A full walk of the building, main and secondary access points, blind spots, lighting, fencing, reachable windows and actual occupancy hours.

  3. Habits review

    The most common weakness is not technical. A service door left open, a shared code, a lent key, an alarm never armed on Saturdays. We look at what actually happens.

  4. Scenarios

    We work through the plausible methods for your type of premises, then test what the current setup can detect and reconstruct.

  5. Report and costing

    Recommendations ranked by priority, each with a budget order of magnitude. You can carry them out with us or with another contractor.

What you receive

  • Written report delivered within a week
  • Prioritised recommendations, from the free fix to the costliest item
  • Budget order of magnitude for each recommendation
  • A debrief session to decide together

What is not included

  • IT and information security audits
  • Live intrusion testing, which requires a separate written mandate
  • Detection of listening devices, which falls under counter-surveillance

Where we stand

A good share of audit recommendations cost nothing. Moving a display unit that blocks a camera, changing an opening routine, revoking a former employee's access. We put those at the top of the report, ahead of the paid items, because that is where the immediate return is and because it is the only way to show that an audit is not a sales pitch in disguise.

Frequently asked

Does the audit oblige me to buy from you?

No. The report is yours and remains usable by any installer.

How long does an audit take?

The on-site assessment takes half a day to a day depending on floor area. The report follows within a week.

Do you audit an existing installation?

Yes, and that is the most common case. We assess what is already there before proposing anything new.
