Security Consultancy Services

Expert Security Consultancy for High-Risk Buildings and Infrastructure

At Premier Security Ballistic & Blast Ltd, we understand that true protection goes far beyond installing a high-security door or window system. Effective security starts long before any equipment is manufactured or deployed. It begins with informed planning, risk awareness and
a clear understanding of the threats facing your site.

To support this, Premier now offers a comprehensive Security Consultancy Service, delivered in partnership with a fully insured and independently operated specialist consultancy recognised for decades of expertise in crime reduction, terrorism mitigation, transport security and large-scale infrastructure protection.

This collaboration allows us to provide a holistic, high-level advisory service, combining Premier’s engineering and manufacturing capability with advanced security strategy, threat modelling and risk assessment.

Whether you are developing a new site, upgrading an existing building, or responding to a recent security incident, our consultancy service ensures your decisions are informed, proportionate and aligned with best practice.

Complete Security Expertise for Any Project or Sector

Our consultancy team includes professionals with more than 100 years of combined experience across national infrastructure, commercial premises, retail environments, education, residential properties and public sector organisations. Their background includes counter-terrorism, transport security, urban design, hostile vehicle mitigation and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED).

This expertise enables us to support a wide range of projects, including:

Transport hubs and stations
Corporate buildings and office complexes
Large-scale retail and high-value sites
Sports, leisure and entertainment venues
Residential estates and private properties
National infrastructure and public realm developments

Every engagement begins with understanding your objectives, risks, usage requirements and operational constraints. Our security consultants work closely with architects, engineers, planners, lawyers and asset owners to ensure that protective measures are practical, proportionate and effective.

Threat, Vulnerability and Risk Assessments (TVRA)

A core part of our consultancy service is the delivery of structured Threat, Vulnerability and Risk Assessments.

This process examines:

The threats relevant to your site (crime, terrorism, vandalism, vehicle-borne threats, insider risk)
Existing vulnerabilities in design, layout, access, glazing, doors, façades and entry points
The potential impact of an incident on people, operations, assets and reputation

This assessment provides a clear picture of where you are now and what you need to improve, enabling confident decision-making and helping you meet regulatory, operational and insurance requirements.

Security in Design, Integrating Safety from the Start

Premier strongly believes that the earlier security is considered in a project, the more effective and discreet it becomes. For new builds, refurbishments or concept-stage developments, our consultancy service provides Security in Design expertise.

We help ensure that security measures are:

– Embedded into architectural layouts

– Aligned with structural and engineering constraints

– Proportionate to risk

– Aesthetically appropriate

– Cost-effective and future-proof

This approach reduces costs, long-term operational issues and prevents the need for redesign and intrusive retrofitting later in the project.

Our consulting partner has extensive experience supporting major projects worldwide, including Crossrail, Sydney Metro stations, UK transport hubs and many high-profile hostile vehicle mitigation schemes and urban realm designs. This level of knowledge, combined with Premier’s manufacturing capability, provides an unparalleled end-to-end solution.

Security Review Service

If you have received advice or recommendations from another consultant or contractor, we can provide an independent review. This ensures that:

Measures are proportionate

We start by confirming if all proposed measures are proportionate to the site and project requirements

Product specifications are appropriate

A thorough check through all product specifications by our experts with advisories where needed

Recommendations match threat level

Should security ratings on suggested product specs need increasing our team will adjust where required

Costs and complexity are justified

Ensuring all security features are required & have not been unnecessarily over complicated

This is especially valuable for local authorities, architects, asset owners and organisations reviewing tender submissions or planning upgrades.

Expert Witness and Post-Incident Analysis

In the unfortunate event of crime, terrorism or antisocial behaviour occurring at a site, our consultancy partner offers a fully insured Expert Witness Service.

This includes:

A detailed on-site assessment
Analysis of physical security measures that were in place
Identification of vulnerabilities and residual risk
A professional report suitable for legal or insurance purposes

All assessments are carried out by Suitably Qualified and Experienced Persons (SQEP), ensuring accuracy, independence and accountability.

Security Audits and Commissioning Support

Following installation of Premier products or third-party equipment, our consultants can undertake a complete post-installation security audit, confirming that:

The system meets its intended performance
Operational requirements have been met
All protective measures work as designed
Staff understand the operation of the security environment

This ensures compliance, peace of mind and long-term reassurance.

Policies, Procedures and Staff Guidance

We can also support your organisation with:

Security policy development
Operational procedures
Staff training frameworks
Access control strategies
Threat awareness guidance

This ensures that physical security is matched by operational effectiveness.
