The birth of independent security risk assessment:
Independent security risk consultant André Mundell has over 40 years of experience in security and investigations, including 21 years with the SAPD and 20 years conducting independent security risk assessments for a wide range of clients. His expertise spans schools, residential and corporate estates, state-owned enterprises, and countless residential properties, farms, shopping malls, warehouses, hospitals, and mines, among others.
André’s deep understanding of crime dynamics and his commitment to preventing criminal activities led him to develop the concept of reverse crime engineering. By analyzing past incidents and identifying the underlying opportunities that facilitated them, he pioneered the independent security risk assessment methodology. This innovative approach aims to proactively assess security vulnerabilities, providing businesses with comprehensive insights to enhance their security measures.
We recently conducted an independent security risk assessment for a clinic in Potchefstroom, identifying vulnerabilities often overlooked by standard assessments. Our independent approach enabled us to recommend practical measures to enhance the safety of patients, staff, and the facility.
