Physical Security Officer

Consistent protection of people and infrastructure on a mandate basis

Physical security in your business is – quite literally – vital to its survival. Fire safety is a key issue in this context, but by no means the only thing you need to be mindful of

In many organisations, physical security has developed over time – but is not managed effectively:

  • Responsibilities are not clearly defined
  • Security measures are in place but not coordinated
  • Risks and vulnerabilities are not fully transparent
  • Issues such as fire safety, access control and evacuation are considered in isolation

At the same time, requirements are increasing – organisational, regulatory and operational.

We take on the role of Physical Security Officer on your behalf and ensure that your physical security is managed and developed in a structured manner.

In doing so, we act as the central point of contact, coordinate the relevant issues and ensure that measures are effectively implemented and reviewed.

Our services within the mandate

As an external Physical Security Officer, our responsibilities include:

  • Coordination and management of physical security
    Central point of contact and coordination of all relevant matters
  • Monitoring and further development of security measures
    Regular review, adaptation and optimisation of existing solutions
  • Conducting assessments and risk evaluations

  • Support for emergency, evacuation and fire safety matters
    Including planning, drills and collaboration with the [Fire Safety Officer]
