An oversight study by Wivenhoe consultants will provide immediate analysis and commentary on the subject based on years of experience in dealing with a myriad of security issues in diverse industries and fields.

Wivenhoe have found from hard fought experience that many security systems do not necessarily operate as intended, have serious “blind” spots, do not meet accepted industry design criteria, or fail to meet requirements in a host of other areas.

Security Commissioning will ensure that security systems and measures are as they should be, meet specifications, operate correctly, and that security staff have been adequately trained on the systems. Wivenhoe Group provide such a service which is also in keeping with the AABC (The Associated Air Balance Council) Commissioning Guidelines.
