SCG was engaged to undertake an Enterprise Wide Security Risk Assessment for Christadelphian Aged Care, who operate over 10 aged care and assisted living facilities throughout NSW and Queensland.

Due to recent acquisitions and changes in their operating model, Christadelphian initially identified the need to consolidate the existing security systems to common platform(s) by leveraging off current IT trends and standards (i.e. cloud based infrastructure) and as a consequence implement a security standard to all current and future facilities.

SCG subsequently recommended that a Security Risk Assessment was required to further understand the actual risks associated with the Christadelphian’s property portfolio and in turn better inform the requirements for any subsequent site/systems reviews or design works, with the key aims to:

• Identify and assess the security risks to which Christadelphian is exposed,
• Evaluate the efficacy of the current security systems,
• Advise on any improvements of the security arrangements due to the current threat profile.

The outcomes of the SRA would inform Christadelphian of their current security risk profile, as well as providing the strategic basis for future security standardisation and systems replacement or consolidation.

SCG was engaged to undertake a review of current Central Queensland University (CQU) security practices, systems and equipment in order provide a baseline understanding of the current performance. SCG then provided a Security Management Plan complete with recommendations for future improvements to enable CQU to meet the needs of its staff and students given the current and perceived future security threats.

SCG was engaged by Lendlease, on behalf of Queensland Health to provide security advice in relation to the current performance of the installed Security Management System (SMS) and Video Management System (VMS) and provided a strategy regarding their replacement.

SCEC team members undertook the SCEC security design consultant role for the upgrade of existing buildings to provide secured office and communications rooms spaces at Duckhole Hill located at RAAF Williamtown.

The new facilities included physical hardening of existing buildings to meet the requirements of the PSPF for Zone 2 areas as well as extension of the existing site-wide Electronic Access Control System (EACS) to the buildings as well as to the security vehicular gate located at the entrance to Duckhole Hill.

SCG team members provided advice in relation to the physical security hardening to the architectural team and documentation and testing of the electronic security works.
