In today’s complex risk environment, protecting people, property, and operations requires more than basic security measures. From workplace safety to access control and incident readiness, organisations are expected to have clear, strategic processes in place to reduce risk and respond effectively when incidents occur.
That’s where a corporate security consultant comes in.
But not all consultants are equal. At Smartsec Security Solutions, we offer independent, vendor-neutral security consulting—helping businesses across Perth and Western Australia make smart, unbiased decisions about their security strategies.
We don’t sell products, install systems, or take commissions from vendors. That independence means you get clear, trusted advice based solely on what your organisation actually needs—not what someone’s trying to sell you.
What Does a Corporate Security Consultant Do?
A corporate security consultant is a specialist advisor who helps organisations identify, assess, and manage physical security risks. This includes analysing current systems and controls, identifying gaps, recommending improvements, and supporting the implementation of better security infrastructure, procedures, and governance.
We assist with:
- Security risk assessments
- CCTV and access control design
- Security SOP and policy development
- CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) reviews
- Lighting audits and site activation strategies
- Staff and visitor access planning
- Control room audits and compliance
- Tender evaluation and technical scoping
- Incident and emergency response planning
These services are tailored to each client’s industry, facility type, operational complexity, and regulatory environment.
Why Independence Matters in Corporate Security Consulting
Many consultants in the security space are also vendors or installers. That creates a clear conflict of interest—because their advice is often shaped around the products they sell or the systems they want to install.
As a completely independent security consultancy, Smartsec Security Solutions:
- Has no commercial ties to any brand, installer, or service provider
- Offers genuine, unbiased advice
- Helps you avoid unnecessary costs or over-engineered systems
- Focuses on what’s practical, compliant, and fit-for-purpose
- Aligns our work with your risk exposure, budget, and growth plans
You get recommendations that serve your business—not a sales pipeline.
How We Help Your Business
We work with corporate clients across multiple sectors—including commercial property, education, retail, health, local government, and logistics. Our role is to support you in understanding and improving your current security posture, then providing a clear plan to strengthen it.
Here’s how we typically support corporate clients:
Security Risk Reviews
We conduct site-based assessments to identify threats, vulnerabilities, and gaps in your current systems and processes. These reviews are aligned with ISO 31000:2018 Risk Management, providing a solid framework for prioritising improvements.
System Design and Procurement Support
Planning to upgrade your CCTV, access control, or duress alarms? We help you scope what’s needed, prepare technical briefs for tender, and assess vendor proposals—so you’re buying the right system, not just the most expensive.
Governance and SOP Development
Strong security depends on clear roles and procedures. We help you build, review, or improve your Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), incident escalation plans, and emergency protocols—so your staff know exactly what to do when it matters most.
CPTED and Environmental Assessments
We apply Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design principles to review how your space is structured—from car parks and lobbies to laneways and shared zones. These reviews support grant applications, planning approvals, and site activation strategies.
Compliance and Readiness Audits
We assess whether your current controls meet legal, insurance, and industry obligations—particularly around lone worker safety, after-hours access, control room practices, and lighting.
Benefits of Engaging a Corporate Security Consultant
Bringing in an independent corporate security consultant provides several tangible benefits:
Strategic Clarity
You get a clear understanding of where your current risks lie, and what to focus on first. We provide short-, medium-, and long-term recommendations—so you can plan improvements without being overwhelmed.
Cost Efficiency
By working with an independent consultant, you avoid being sold products you don’t need. Many clients find they can repurpose existing systems or make incremental changes to improve security without large capital outlay.
Improved Safety and Staff Confidence
A strong, visible, and well-communicated security strategy builds trust—internally and externally. It can improve staff morale, reduce anxiety, and demonstrate clear duty of care to regulators and clients.
Support for Business Growth
As your business expands, so do your risks. Our advice ensures your security systems and procedures scale alongside your operations—without creating friction or exposure.
Professional Presentation to Stakeholders
Our reports are designed to support board-level discussions, internal planning, insurance reviews, or external funding submissions. We structure our documentation to align with your organisation’s workflow and decision-making process.
