For Facilities & Operations

Facilities & Operations Security

Minimise operational friction while maintaining physical security compliance. We work with your building management systems, not against them.

The Problem

Why facilities managers struggle with physical security.

You manage the building. But when auditors arrive or an incident happens, physical security gaps land on your desk.

Compliance Audits Keep Failing

ISO 27001 and SOC 2 auditors flag physical controls you thought were covered. Access logs have gaps, visitor procedures are inconsistent, and nobody can prove that restricted zones are actually restricted. You end up scrambling to fix issues that should have been caught months ago.

Smart Building OT Exposure

Your BMS controls HVAC, lighting, and access. But those systems sit on networks that were never designed for security scrutiny. OT exposure through building automation creates attack surfaces that your IT security team does not own and your facilities team does not monitor.

Tailgating and Clean Desk Failures

People hold doors open. Confidential documents sit on desks overnight. Screens face corridors. These are the physical security basics that get ignored because nobody owns them operationally and nobody measures them consistently.

Our Approach

How we solve it for facilities teams.

We do not replace your systems. We assess what you have, score every zone, and give your team a clear path to compliance.

On-Site Assessments That Integrate

Our assessors walk your facility and work with your existing BMS, access control hardware, and CCTV infrastructure. We document what is already in place before identifying what is missing. No rip-and-replace recommendations.

Zone-Based Scoring

Every area of your facility gets a risk score. These scores map directly to ISO 27001 Annex A.7 and A.11 physical controls and SOC 2 physical safeguards. Your compliance team gets audit-ready evidence without extra work.

Remediation Routed to Your Team

We do not hand you a 200-page report and walk away. Each finding comes with a task assignment your internal maintenance or operations team can act on directly. Fix priorities are ranked by risk severity and cost, so you know what to do first.

Deliverables

What you get.

Four deliverables designed for facilities teams who need to act, not just read.

Facility Risk Scorecard

A single-page summary of your facility's physical security posture. Overall score, zone-by-zone breakdown, and trend tracking if you run repeat assessments. Designed for executive briefings and board-level reporting.

Zone Classification Map

A visual floor plan showing every zone in your facility colour-coded by risk level. Maps access control boundaries, CCTV blind spots, and tailgating hotspots so your team can see exactly where the problems are.

Compliance Evidence Logs

Photographic and narrative evidence mapped to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 physical control requirements. Hand these directly to your auditor. No reformatting, no translation from security jargon to compliance language.

Remediation Task Assignments

Every finding becomes a task with an owner, a priority level, and a clear description of what needs to change. Route these to your maintenance team, your building management company, or your internal security coordinator.

Hard Questions

The objections we hear. The answers we give.

How do you enforce strict physical security tiers without causing operational friction or annoying employees?

We do not deploy blanket restrictions. We use a phased Proximity Risk Zoning model. Out of the box, we provide baseline rules for open collaborative spaces versus secure data rooms. We then sit down with your operations team to map your specific traffic workflows, tuning our enforcement triggers so they protect high-value assets without disrupting daily employee productivity.

How do your hardware or smart building audits avoid voiding OEM vendor warranties (Honeywell, Siemens, etc.)?

We do not modify or alter proprietary physical infrastructure or third-party code. Our audits are strictly passive and non-invasive. We evaluate systemic vulnerabilities from the outside. When an edge-device or OT risk is discovered, we deliver the remediation playbooks directly to your existing certified vendors to execute, ensuring your operational warranties remain completely intact.

Our offices are highly agile with hot-desking and constant layout changes. How can your framework keep up?

Our Proximity Threat Management model is dynamic, not static. It protects the endpoint devices and users, not just the walls. We provide standard security blueprints for open-office layouts. However, our framework scales by integrating directly with your space-management or badge systems, adapting in real time to shifting desk arrangements and hybrid schedules.
