SECURITY SURVEYS

We have many years experienced in the field of security surveys / risk assessments, dealing with physical security measures both existing and future installations. Vulnerabilities identified in the survey will be highlighted, and cost-effective solutions will be provided in an easy-to-read illustrated report. Our surveyors are fully accredited by the appropriate bodies under Home Office guidelines and have the necessary security clearance with over 30 years of experience –

PENETRATIONS TESTS

Following a security survey how often do you get your security measures tested, don’t wait for the inevitable to happen! Physical penetration tests are an important way for businesses to identify any weaknesses in the security of their premises (e.g., warehouses and offices) that could be exploited by criminals – 

BUG SWEEPS

We have a dedicated engineer who has over 30 years’ experience, using purpose-built specialist equipment. Working with a backup team we conduct a full electronic sweep of the premises, then use separate handheld wands for near field examinations of the respective rooms / offices, computers, and telephone equipment, finally very importantly a finger-tip search examining power supplies, ceiling tiles, thus when we complete an TSCM (Technical Surveillance Countermeasures Sweep), we can tell you if there is anything there or not. “What you say in private is your business, keeping it that way is ours” 

CRIME / FRAUD INVESTIGATIONS – This is really our bread and butter, we have a dedicated team of highly experienced private investigators who over the years have successfully investigated most crimes, both here in the UK and abroad, for a wide range of clients, whether it be a burglary, robbery, blackmail, theft of valuable items, fraud, assaults, missing persons or indeed a murder, we can assist.
