In today’s rapidly evolving threat environment, Perth businesses need more than just basic security — they need trusted protective security consulting in Perth. At Smartsec Security Solutions, we offer independent, strategic advice to help safeguard people, property, and operations across Western Australia.
As an experienced and independent security consultant in Perth, we specialise in protective security consulting that helps businesses across industries reduce risk, comply with Australian standards, and operate with confidence.
What Is Protective Security Consulting in Perth?
Protective security consulting is the process of identifying and addressing vulnerabilities in your physical environment, operational procedures, and security infrastructure. It goes beyond traditional security services to provide:
- Strategic planning and risk mitigation
- Security policy development
- Physical infrastructure and access control reviews
- Technology integration guidance (e.g. CCTV, alarms, access systems)
- Compliance support with relevant Australian standards and frameworks
Unlike providers who sell and install products, we focus purely on delivering impartial, strategic advice tailored to your site, budget, and regulatory requirements.
Our protective security consulting Perth services address every layer of your security environment.:
- Threat and vulnerability analysis
- Security architecture and facility design
- Security resourcing and staffing
- Emergency and incident response planning
- Integration of protective security into operational continuity plans
Why Invest in Protective Security Consulting Perth Services?

Our Protective Security Consulting Services
Security Risk Assessments
We evaluate your entire physical environment to identify:
- Entry/exit vulnerabilities
- Blind spots in CCTV coverage
- Access control effectiveness
- Perimeter barriers and lighting
- Staff procedures and visitor management
We use ISO 31000-aligned methodologies to produce clear, prioritised risk reports.
Security Strategy Development
After your risk assessment, we help you:
- Define security priorities
- Allocate resources appropriately
- Choose systems that match your needs
- Develop short- and long-term mitigation strategies
Our strategies are tailored to your business, not repurposed templates.
Technology Planning & Vendor-Neutral Advice
We help you plan or upgrade:
- CCTV and VMS systems
- Electronic access control
- Alarms and monitoring infrastructure
Because we don’t install or sell hardware, our advice is 100% independent.
We also help clients build vendor scopes for tender submissions, clarify technical requirements, and assess equipment against standards such as AS 2201.1 or ISO 22343 for HVM where relevant.
Procedure and Policy Reviews
We review and recommend improvements to:
- Security SOPs and incident reporting
- Emergency response frameworks
- Access and visitor control procedures
- Staff training and awareness programs
We also help clients create or revise security management plans and standard operating procedures aligned with PSPF and WA Government protective security policies.
CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design)
We apply CPTED principles to enhance natural surveillance, define boundaries, and reduce opportunities for crime through design.
Common CPTED upgrades include:
- Improving lines of sight
- Reconfiguring public access routes
- Redesigning poorly lit or concealed spaces
We also conduct formal CPTED audits for councils and developers as part of planning approval processes or redevelopment projects.
Sector-Specific Security Advice
We provide targeted advice for:
- Mining and industrial sites: Equipment protection, access zoning, remote surveillance, compliance with Dangerous Goods legislation
- Healthcare facilities: Staff and patient safety, restricted areas, visitor screening, and compliance with ACSQHC standards
- Retail and commercial: Anti-theft measures, after-hours protection, alarm integration, back-of-house controls
- Education and government: Public space safety, CPTED design, student protection, policy alignment with DETWA guidelines
We understand that each sector comes with different regulatory, reputational, and operational risks. Our consulting reflects that.

Real-World Application: Retail Centre Case Example
Smartsec recently worked with a Perth-based retail centre facing repeat after-hours break-ins and vandalism.
We conducted a full site inspection, reviewed past incident reports, and identified three key issues:
- Blind spots in the external camera layout
- Poorly lit loading bay
- Lax delivery gate access procedures
Our recommendations included camera repositioning, access control upgrades, and revised delivery protocols. The result: a 70% drop in incidents within three months.
We’ve also worked with:
- A regional airport developing a layered access strategy to meet aviation regulations
- A government agency reviewing physical security across multiple civic sites
- A construction contractor requiring pre-opening security planning for a water infrastructure project
