In today’s risk-conscious world, businesses, councils, and property managers are expected to do more than just install CCTV or hire guards. They’re expected to take a structured, strategic approach to security—one that protects people, property, and operations, while demonstrating compliance, planning, and accountability. That’s where a security consulting business like Smartsec Security Solutions can help.
We’re not here to sell you equipment or installation services. As an independent security consulting business based in Western Australia, we focus solely on helping you understand your risks, identify vulnerabilities, and build fit-for-purpose solutions that work for your environment, your operations, and your budget.
What Does a Security Consulting Business Do?
A security consulting business provides expert, impartial advice on how to assess, manage, and improve physical security. This includes evaluating current systems, identifying gaps, recommending upgrades, and helping you plan better for the future.
At Smartsec Security Solutions, we work across a range of areas including:
- Security risk assessments
- Access control and CCTV planning
- SOP development and emergency readiness
- CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) reviews
- Lighting and perimeter evaluations
- Control room audits and compliance
- Security tender and scope development
- Incident response frameworks and debriefs
Our job is to offer advice that’s practical, strategic, and independent—so you can make confident decisions without sales pressure or technical guesswork.
Why Work with an Independent Security Consultant?
Many security providers also sell and install systems. This creates a conflict of interest, as recommendations are often shaped around what they want to supply—not what you actually need.
As an independent security consulting business, Smartsec Security Solutions:
- Has no ties to security product vendors or installers
- Offers advice tailored to your unique risk profile and site conditions
- Helps you avoid over-engineered or unnecessary system upgrades
- Supports better long-term planning, budgeting, and decision-making
- Provides clarity before you engage installers, so you’re in control
This means you get honest, fit-for-purpose advice that’s shaped by your needs—not someone else’s sales targets.
How We Help Your Organisation
Every organisation faces a different set of risks, depending on its size, location, public access, asset value, and regulatory environment. We tailor our services accordingly—whether you’re managing a council facility, a corporate building, a school, a shopping precinct, or an industrial site.
Here’s how our security consulting business typically supports clients:
Security Risk Assessments
We identify threats and vulnerabilities across your site and provide a prioritised plan to address them. This helps you understand where your highest risks lie and how to control them cost-effectively.
System Planning (CCTV, Access Control, Alarms)
If you’re upgrading or installing a new system, we help you define exactly what’s needed—so you can avoid being oversold, and make sure coverage, control, and usability are all considered.
SOPs and Security Procedures
We help you develop or refine your security standard operating procedures, access control protocols, emergency response plans, and incident escalation processes—ensuring your people know what to do when it matters.
Tender Support and Vendor Evaluation
If you’re going out to market, we help you prepare a clear, technically sound scope of works. We can also review vendor proposals and make sure they align with your needs and compliance obligations.
CPTED and Environmental Reviews
We assess how the physical layout of your space influences safety, access, and passive surveillance. These reviews are ideal for public spaces, development approvals, and proactive community safety planning.
Control Room and Monitoring Reviews
For organisations managing alarm systems or camera networks internally, we offer control room reviews aligned with AS 2201.2 and operational best practices.
Benefits of Engaging a Security Consulting Business
Working with a security consultant brings significant advantages:
Clearer Understanding of Risk
We translate complex threats and vulnerabilities into clear, actionable insights—so you know exactly where to focus your attention and resources.
Cost-Effective Planning
We help you prioritise actions that offer the highest impact and prevent you from wasting money on ineffective or unnecessary solutions.
Stronger Compliance and Reporting
Our reports are aligned with ISO 31000, AS 3745, AS/NZS 1158, and other relevant standards. They can be used for internal audits, insurance, WHS planning, and board-level reporting.
Improved Safety and Accountability
A strong, well-documented security approach builds trust—with staff, clients, visitors, and regulators. It also creates better internal systems for tracking performance and responding to incidents.
Confidence in Future Decision-Making
We help you move from reactive problem-solving to proactive planning. This means fewer surprises, fewer emergencies, and more confidence in your long-term strategy.
