Securing Local Government
ICARAS Consultants recently completed a comprehensive physical security review for a major local government organisation. This project evaluated their existing security measures, pinpointed risks and opportunities, and delivered actionable recommendations to ensure a robust level of safety and security across their operations.
Our approach was anchored in the New Zealand Government's Protective Security Requirements (PSR) framework—a best-practice standard for protective security. We collaborated closely with the organisation’s managers and stakeholders to tailor our insights to their unique needs and strategic objectives.
Key Actions and Deliverables
PSR Compliance Audit and Gap Analysis: Assessed the current security maturity state against desired benchmarks.
Capability Maturity Model (CMM) Workshop: Engaged stakeholders to align on future security goals using PSR’s proven methodology.
Documentation Review: Conducted a deep dive into governance, policies, procedures, and personnel security.
Targeted Security Audits: Inspected key buildings and operations, supported by stakeholder interviews.
Security Implementation Roadmap: Provided a clear, prioritised plan for immediate and long-term improvements.
Organisational Overview Report: Delivered strategic recommendations, risk insights, and a cost-benefit analysis.
The Security Implementation Roadmap gave the organisation a practical, step-by-step strategy to elevate their security posture, blending short-term wins with long-term goals.
Impact and Expertise
This project equipped the organisation with a deeper understanding of their physical security needs and a clear path forward. It underscores ICARAS’s expertise in protective security and our dedication to helping organisations tackle complex security challenges effectively.
