Security Consultancy
Last Updated:
Service Overview
FGH Consult provides senior-level security consultancy that delivers practical, proportionate solutions to complex operational challenges. We work closely with clients as trusted partners, offering independent, evidence-based advice that strengthens resilience, mitigates risk, and improves operational effectiveness.
Security Threat Assessments
Our Security Threat Assessments take a holistic view of potential vulnerabilities, considering a full range of threats from criminals, organised crime, insider risks, and the public. We analyse factors such as target attractiveness, historical incidents, crime patterns, and contentious organisational issues to produce a comprehensive picture of likely threats. This enables clients to prioritise mitigation strategies and make informed decisions about protective measures.
Security Reviews
Security Reviews evaluate existing control measures against identified threats to determine fitness for purpose. We identify opportunities to improve efficiency and effectiveness, including best-practice approaches, operational enhancements, or technology integration. Where applicable, we highlight cost-saving opportunities without compromising security. FGH Consult does not sell security products, but we can recommend solutions from other FGH Group businesses or reputable, unaffiliated suppliers, ensuring objective advice and value for money.
Methodology
Our work is guided by ISO 31000 risk management principles and incorporates advanced strategies, including problem-oriented policing, situational crime prevention, crime pattern analysis, and routine activities theory. This combination of structured frameworks and practical insight allows us to provide actionable, evidence-based recommendations that are proportionate, scalable, and aligned with organisational goals.
For senior leaders seeking robust, independent advice, FGH Consult delivers solutions that are both strategic and operationally grounded. Visit our Case Studies page to see how we’ve applied these principles in practice.
FAQs
What is security consultancy?
Security consultancy provides independent advice to identify risks, assess vulnerabilities, and design proportionate measures to protect people, assets, and operations across venues, events, and organisations.
Who needs security consultancy services?
Security consultancy is relevant to organisations responsible for publicly accessible locations, events, estates, or critical operations where safety, security, or compliance risks need to be understood and managed.
What does a security consultancy assessment typically cover?
Assessments commonly review threat context, site vulnerabilities, operational practices, physical security measures, procedures, and response capability, resulting in practical, risk-based recommendations.
How is security consultancy different from security provision?
Security consultancy is advisory and independent. It focuses on planning, risk assessment, and design rather than providing day-to-day guarding or operational delivery.
Can security consultancy support legal and regulatory compliance?
Yes. Security consultancy can help organisations understand and prepare for regulatory expectations, including health and safety duties and emerging requirements such as those under Martyn’s Law where applicable.
Is security consultancy only for high-risk environments?
No. Consultancy should be proportionate. Many organisations use it to identify low-cost improvements, demonstrate due diligence, and strengthen resilience before issues escalate.
