Security design review and technical assistance
Security design review and technical assurance
Independent, vendor-neutral review of somebody else's design, specification or installation. We do not sell the products we review, and we take no commission from anyone who does.
We hold no manufacturer or installer relationships, so a review can conclude that a proposal is sound, or that it is not, without either answer costing us anything.
Two reasons this gets commissioned.
Either somebody suspects the specification is wrong, or somebody needs to demonstrate that it is right before signing for it. Both are legitimate, and both are cheaper to answer before the order is placed.
The common failure is a specification written by the party who will supply it. That is not necessarily dishonest, but it produces a document only one product can satisfy, and it removes any basis for comparing tenders.
The other failure is a design that is technically correct and operationally impossible: a system nobody has the staff to monitor, or a door that gets propped open every morning to get the deliveries in.
Four stages.
Named deliverables, not outcomes language
Operational requirement, written or reviewed, in testable terms
Design review report with findings graded by consequence
Product-neutral performance specification suitable for tender
Tender return assessment scored against the specification
Commissioning witness and snagging schedule
Written independent opinion for a client, funder or insurer
A specification only one product can satisfy is not a specification.
Who is this for?
Clients about to sign for a security installation, funders and insurers who need an independent opinion, and design teams who would rather have their proposals tested before they go out to tender than after.
