Security Audits & Risk Reviews

If you manage a business, facility, or public-facing site, it’s not enough to have “security in place.” The real question is whether your controls are effective, current, and defensible—and whether they match how your site actually operates after hours.

Smartsec Security Solutions provides physical security audits and security risk reviews across Perth and Western Australia. Our advice is vendor-neutral and practical, designed to help you identify control gaps, prioritise improvements, and brief upgrades clearly—without guesswork or sales agendas.

What’s the difference between a security audit and a risk review?

A physical security audit focuses on the controls you already have and how they’re performing. It answers:
What’s working? What’s not? Where are the gaps?

A security risk review applies a structured risk lens (aligned with ISO 31000) to help you prioritise. It answers:
Which risks matter most, what’s the exposure, and what should we treat first?

Many organisations start with an audit, then step into a risk review when they need a more formal, prioritised plan for leadership, governance, or procurement.

Physical Security Audits

Our physical security audits assess the effectiveness of your current security controls and identify practical improvements across:

Access control and key security (where applicable)
CCTV coverage, blind spots, image outcomes and retrieval process
Perimeter integrity and site access points
Lighting and after-hours visibility (where this drives risk)
Intrusion alarms and monitoring response pathways (where applicable)
Procedures, escalation, and incident response consistency

How our physical security audits work

Initial consultation
We clarify your objectives, incident profile, and constraints (budget, staffing, operating hours).

On-site assessment
We conduct a structured site walkthrough focusing on real risk zones—entries, car parks, rear/service areas, transitions, and after-hours edges.

Control gap findings
We document where controls are failing or drifting over time (including quick wins that can be fixed with minimal cost).

Clear report and priorities
You receive a practical report with prioritised recommendations, including what to address now vs later.

Optional implementation support
If needed, we can help you brief vendors, review proposals, or validate that upgrades align with the intent of the audit.

Risk Reviews aligned with ISO 31000:2018

Where a more formal approach is required, our risk reviews follow ISO 31000:2018 principles to identify, analyse, and treat physical security risks in a consistent and defensible way.

This is often useful when you need a structured approach for:
Leadership reporting and governance
Council or government environments
Multi-site or portfolio decision-making
Funding and business case justification
Procurement and tender-ready scopes

How our risk reviews work

Context establishment
We define scope, objectives, site usage, and risk tolerance.

Risk identification and analysis
We identify credible risk scenarios and assess likelihood, consequence, and current controls.

Risk treatment planning
We develop practical risk treatments that balance effectiveness, feasibility, and cost—prioritised for implementation.

Monitoring and review guidance
We outline how to keep the approach current, including review cadence and responsibilities.

What you receive

Depending on scope, you can expect:
A clear summary of key risks and control gaps
Prioritised recommendations (quick wins + staged uplift plan)
Vendor-neutral guidance to support fair quoting and procurement
Optional risk register and treatment plan structure (where required)
Recommendations grounded in good practice and relevant standards
