Changes to the level of threat, an acquisition, entry into a new territory or a serious security breach, are some of the reasons that prompt an organisation to consider a strategic review of its security measures. Motivation and good intentions are however often thwarted by budgets, a shortage of time, or personnel resources. There may also be cases when there is a short-term need for specific skills and the requirement to move quickly, to put in place systems or procedures required by legislation or already implemented by peers or competitors.

Fixed Term - Fixed Cost Assignments
SSI provides Interim Professionals to undertake fixed term, fixed cost, security assignments. SSI Advisors have backgrounds as diverse as Special Forces, Police, Intelligence Agencies, and Commercial Security. All are motivated, versatile and forward thinking individuals who possess astute cultural and political awareness. This will have been gained from operating in difficult, often complex, remote, or hostile environments. Each understands the needs of the client and recognises that the financial and physical risks facing each organisation are different.

Collective Experience - Collaborative Approach
SSI Advisors draw on the resources and collective experience of the SSI Group and work in close co-operation with the client to provide hands-on assistance and sound practical advice. SSI's strength lies in its cadre of Advisors, database of ‘best practice’ policies and procedures, and in its ability to act quickly to find cost-effective, workable solutions to the problems at hand. Often, there is a need for expertise in the short term, to assist or complement ‘in house’ personnel embarking on a major initiative. By engaging an SSI Advisor, organisations benefit not only from the skills of the individual assigned, but also from the Group as a whole.

Cost-Effectiveness
Whilst there is no ‘universal formula’ that can be applied to any security scenario, the basic tenets of a proven solution are often transferable with some modification. Through continuous access to Group case studies, resources and expertise, SSI Advisors can reduce the time and cost incurred in creating or updating security plans and systems.
