Physical Security Consulting

Physical Security Consulting in Perth and Western Australia

If you manage a business, facility, or public-facing site, physical security is not a checkbox. It’s what protects your people, reduces incidents, and keeps operations running—especially after-hours.

Smartsec Security Solutions provides vendor-neutral physical security consulting across Perth and Western Australia. We help you make clear, defensible decisions about CCTV, access control, lighting, perimeter protection, procedures, and monitoring—without product bias or sales agendas.

Whether you’re responding to incidents, planning an upgrade, or trying to improve security governance across a site, we’ll help you tighten the basics and prioritise improvements that actually reduce risk.

 

When organisations typically engage us

Clients usually call when they’re dealing with one or more of the following:

  • recurring theft, break-ins, trespass, vandalism or antisocial behaviour

  • CCTV blind spots or footage that isn’t usable when incidents occur

  • access control permissions that have drifted over time (staff turnover, contractors, shared credentials)

  • after-hours risks in car parks, rear/service corridors, or loading areas

  • poor lighting creating fear points, concealment, and weaker CCTV outcomes

  • alarms and monitoring that haven’t been tested (slow call response, unclear escalation)

  • a planned upgrade and you want an independent scope before requesting quotes

 

What you get from Smartsec

Our role is to give you clarity and confidence—so you can brief vendors properly, reduce wasted spend, and improve safety outcomes.

Depending on your needs, deliverables may include:

  • a clear summary of key risks and what is driving incidents

  • prioritised recommendations (quick wins + staged uplift plan)

  • vendor-neutral guidance to support fair quoting and procurement

  • practical improvements across environment, technology and procedures

  • recommendations aligned with ISO 31000 risk principles and relevant standards

 

Our approach (simple and practical)

Most engagements follow a straightforward process:

  1. Scoping call to confirm objectives, site context and constraints

  2. Site review and stakeholder input (what’s happening, where, and when)

  3. Assessment of controls (CCTV, access control, alarms/monitoring, lighting, perimeter, procedures)

  4. Clear recommendations and priorities, focused on achievable uplift

  5. Optional support to brief vendors, review proposals, or validate implementation

 

Independent advice with no sales agenda

We do not sell equipment and we are not aligned with manufacturers or installers. You receive impartial, transparent advice based on what your site actually needs—so you can make decisions that are compliant, practical, and defensible.

 

Physical security consulting services we provide

Smartsec supports a wide range of physical security consulting needs, including:

 

Security risk assessments

A structured assessment to identify vulnerabilities and prioritise treatment actions across your site. If you need a formal risk register and treatment plan, this is often the best starting point.

 

CPTED and public space safety input

Where design, sightlines, and movement patterns are driving risk, CPTED-focused advice can help reduce concealment, improve natural surveillance, and strengthen safety through layout and activation.

 

Lighting, visibility and after-hours safety

Lighting is often one of the fastest ways to improve both real and perceived safety. Where visibility is a key driver, a dedicated lighting audit can provide a clear upgrade pathway.

 

CCTV, access control and system optimisation

If you already have CCTV, alarms, or access control, we can help you validate coverage intent, reduce blind spots, improve outcomes, and ensure systems support response—not just recording.

 

Ongoing reviews and uplift planning

Security drifts over time. We provide periodic reviews and advisory support to help you maintain standards, adapt to changes, and keep your controls effective.

 

Benefits of vendor-neutral consulting

Independent consulting helps you:

 

Make confident decisions

Understand what matters most and why—so your investment is targeted and defensible.

 

Improve outcomes without overspend

Focus on the controls that reduce risk fastest, and avoid unnecessary upgrades.

 

Strengthen compliance and duty of care

Ensure your approach is aligned with current obligations, safer operations, and good governance.

 

Support business continuity

Reduce disruption from incidents and improve after-hours resilience.
