Consultancy services

An effective security policy for your organisation provides a steadfast platform; it reinforces the commitment of the management and helps to integrate the role into the corporate culture. Stakeholders feel reassured that measures are being taken to protect them, which helps outline what is expected.

Alliance also provides security policy development services, which formalise the goals, principles, processes, and techniques used by an organisation for the achievement of effective security. It can also help to determine what can or should be done in-house and what needs to be carried out by outsourced providers. We can act as your outsourced security department and provide contracted security services or an in-house Security Manager, should this meet your requirements.

Alliance offers a comprehensive security consultancy service that will overhaul and nurture the entire structure of your organisation. We will assess your current security setup and identify potential business threats. Our experienced consultants will then highlight any areas of concern and draw up a list of recommendations to prevent the likelihood of a breach of security. All aspects of safety are analysed, such as…

• Access control systems – identification of personnel, recording of visitors, restrictions for employees out of working hours, deliveries, etc…
• Alarm systems and surveillance operations
• Recruitment procedures
• Protection of information, raw materials, and finished goods
• Disposal of rubbish and confidential information
• Other necessary security measures to ensure a safe working environment.

We will then design and implement the most appropriate solution. Regular reviews and updates should also be carried out to achieve effective security measures.

Life has a way of throwing things up that can have an impact on our everyday lives, and for businesses, these types of incidents can, unfortunately, have profound implications:
– 80% of businesses that encounter a major incident close within 18 months.
– 90% of businesses that lose data from a disaster are forced to shut down within two years.

A ‘Business Continuity Program’ clearly demonstrates to employees, clients, suppliers, and other stakeholders that their interests are being looked after; it can also protect less tangible assets such as brand, reputation and client confidence. A BCP is necessary when attempting to identify the impact of potential losses; it also helps to formulate and implement viable recovery strategies and to develop recovery plans. In an emergency, incident, or crisis, it helps maintain continuity and deliver a comprehensive training, testing and maintenance program. Our business continuity team at Alliance will work with your organisation to establish a robust framework and plan that your business can then use to demonstrate how it will be delivered, key roles and responsibilities and how business continuity management will be governed and reported upon. Successful testing and review of the plan also means that it will remain operational in the future.

Security training may be something that employees need to engage in, and this can range from general security awareness training for many staff, to more specialised training for specific team members and how to deal with certain challenging situations.

The logical extension of specific training in security matters is to undertake a change program within an organisation, whereby all employees are imbued with a different perspective on security. This aims to integrate it into the employment role so that it becomes a natural responsibility of all employees.

Implementing this type of program requires a clear role for security within an organisation and direct support from senior management. Effective communication, teamed with involvement strategy and outlined responsibility areas, is also imperative. This approach will maximise security due to team involvement and simply becoming the everyday norm. The benefits are clearly understood and appreciated, which will enhance employee participation, commitment, and success.
