A comprehensive security threat and risk assessment across 29 clinics — including 7 audited sites and specific analysis of lone-worker risk at 24/7 hospital locations — for a major South Australian radiology group with 800+ staff.

THE CHALLENGE

South Australia’s largest private radiology group, operating 29 clinics and employing more than 800 staff, faced an increasingly complex security environment — including after-hours lone-worker risk at 24/7 hospital-embedded sites, inconsistent access controls and duress alarm coverage across the portfolio, and a growing need to demonstrate systematic duty-of-care governance. No enterprise-wide security risk assessment had previously been conducted, leaving leadership without a clear picture of security performance or a defensible basis for investment decisions.

OUR APPROACH

Agilient conducted a Security Threat and Risk Assessment (STRA) for the entire group, applying ISO 31000, HB 167, and AS 4485. Physical security audits were conducted at seven priority clinic sites, assessing access controls, CCTV systems, duress alarm placement and response, external lighting, and lone-worker arrangements at 24/7 hospital locations. Risk findings were consolidated into an executive-ready Security Review Report, supported by individual clinic-level spreadsheets capturing site-specific findings and treatment recommendations. An executive presentation was prepared to brief group leadership on priority risks and the recommended investment roadmap.

THE OUTCOME

  • Delivered a comprehensive STRA covering 29 clinics, with physical audits at 7 priority sites and individual clinic-level risk documentation
  • Identified and quantified lone-worker and after-hours risk at 24/7 hospital-embedded sites, with specific treatment recommendations
  • Produced an executive Security Review Report and presentation providing leadership with a clear, prioritised investment roadmap
