Building Security Consultants for Risk Mitigation and Compliance
Agilient is the leading provider of building security solutions covering your infrastructure, assets and people. By focusing on all three elements of security, our tailored risk-based strategies minimise security risks and ensure your physical and human assets are fully protected against intruders, as well as compliant with frameworks for secure environments.
What is Building Security Consulting?
Agilient’s building security consulting service helps identify and proactively manage physical threats and vulnerabilities that may affect your building’s security.
Our service includes specialised security techniques and features to create multiple layers of defence against threats for your infrastructure, assets, property and people. Our physical security consultant will conduct a thorough review and assessment to protect your building against unauthorised access, sabotage, theft, and natural hazards.
Agilient’s building security assessment consultants will review your current security systems, procedures and infrastructure to provide recommendations that enhance your site’s safety and meet compliance obligations (e.g., PSPF, ISO 31000, HB188, HB167).
Organisations typically commission a building security assessment at a defined trigger point: a new build or major refurbishment, a change of tenancy or building use, a lease or insurance requirement, a relocation, or a rise in the assessed threat to staff and assets. Agilient applies a layered, defence-in-depth approach and crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) principles, and where the building forms part of a regulated estate the assessment is aligned to the relevant obligations. The findings feed a prioritised program of works and, where required, a formal security audit.

frequently Asked questions
Any high-risk and high-security sites concerned about their physical security and need to ensure every risk has been identified and managed will benefit from a physical security assessment. Our team also conducts security reviews of new construction and developments, from the concept stage through to construction and commissioning.
A building security audit encompasses three primary elements: the outer perimeter, the inner perimeter, and the interior of the building. Our team will assess the effectiveness of these elements and provide tailored recommendations to enhance the building’s security.
A full physical security assessment should be conducted at least once a year, especially around new builds, refurbishments, or when assets are relocated from one workplace to another.
Agilient bases building security assessments on established physical security principles, in particular defence in depth (layered security) and crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED), set against the organisation’s own risk context. For Australian Government facilities the assessment is aligned to the physical security requirements of the Protective Security Policy Framework, and for critical infrastructure to the operator’s all-hazards obligations. The aim is a building whose design, access control and procedures match the level of risk it actually faces. See our physical and facility security overview for more detail.
Building security is the whole-of-site discipline that protects a facility through its design, perimeter, access control and procedures. Electronic security, such as CCTV, electronic access control and intruder alarms, is one layer within that wider system. A building security assessment determines which electronic measures are warranted and how they should work together, rather than treating technology as a standalone fix. Agilient also provides dedicated electronic security consulting where a deeper technical review is needed.
