Protective Security Consulting
A protective security consultant helps safeguard people, assets, people, and operations by implementing strategic controls across physical, personnel, and information security. They conduct risk management to identify vulnerabilities and deploy threat mitigation to reduce your organisation’s exposure. Poor preparation can lead to costly disruptions and damage to reputation. Agilient is your protective security specialist, protecting environments against these kinds of threats and creating wide-ranging strategies to manage them.
What is a Protective Security Consultant
A protective security consultant specialises in designing and implementing strategies to safeguard people, physical assets, and sensitive information. We assess risks, identify vulnerabilities, and develop tailored solutions to manage security breaches, threats, or other disruptions to normal operations. Agilient’s experience in high-end security environments (including our work in defence, government, and critical infrastructure) informs the design of governance frameworks that integrate into your enterprise risk management system for organisations that are genuinely secure, compliant, and resilient.
Agilient applies the same protective security disciplines in regulated and high-security sectors, including pharmaceutical and medicinal cannabis operations and healthcare and hospitals.

The Importance of Protective Security Services
Without a protective security consultant, organisations risk theft, data breaches, reputational damage, and financial loss. Agilient takes a proactive approach—identifying threats, reducing vulnerabilities, and implementing best-practice protective security measures to safeguard your people, assets, and operations. Agilient delivers specialised knowledge of ISO security frameworks, compliance measures, and best-practice business resilience processes to combat disruption wherever it may occur.
For Australian Government entities, protective security is governed by the Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF), administered by the Department of Home Affairs. The framework spans the protective security domains of governance, risk, information, technology, personnel and physical security, supported by self-assessed maturity and annual reporting. Agilient helps entities and their suppliers interpret these obligations, set a target maturity, and build the governance, personnel and physical controls to reach it. Effective protective security rests on a current security risk assessment, which establishes the threats and priorities the controls must address.
For a practical walkthrough, see Agilient’s guide on how to run a PSPF maturity assessment.
Agilient is appointed to multiple Australian Government procurement panels, including the Department of Home Affairs Security Services Panel, the DFAT Security Services Panel, and the Defence Support Services Standing Panel, so government clients can engage Agilient directly.
