They continue to face security issues or become victims of crime despite investing sizeable sums, sometimes millions, as salespeople advise.

- The sixth type of client that approaches us is typically the client who has never experienced crime before and suddenly finds themselves being targeted. When the security provider cannot answer questions, they call us in to conduct an assessment.
- The seventh type of client we handle is the victim’s friends or family seeking answers about an incident’s cause. They ask for a Security Risk Assessment to pinpoint responsibility for security failures and consider preventive measures.
- The eight type of clients want to understand when security stops and safety starts.
- The ninth type of client and also the most common type of client we deal with do not like to spend money on a security risk assessment, but in the end, it costs them 4 times more compared to what the original assessment would have cost when they try to secure their property their own way. When all else fails, they ask us to fix the mess.
- The tenth type of client is the client who is seen as time wasters, the clients who never intend to use you for there specific needs. These clients would continuously submit RFQs and never do anything upon receival. Therefore, we are wasting resources.
- The last type of clients that want to make the security portfolio court-ready. When the defending party requests proof of the incident, it must be available, and the source must be reliable. The necessary paperwork that supports the story and the information must be researchable/traceable.
Clients are from all walks of life. We deal with farmers, CEOs, businessmen, estates, warehouses, residential homes, schools, universities, gated communities, shopping centers, and so on.
In short, the above describes the types of clients and why they would utilize a Security Risk Assessor.
We recently conducted an independent security risk assessment for a community sports center in Durban, identifying vulnerabilities often overlooked by standard assessments. Our independent approach enabled us to recommend practical measures to enhance the safety of visitors, staff, and facilities.
