Risk Consultancy

Overview

Expert analysis, before problems become incidents

We provide expert analysis and strategic advice to identify and mitigate potential security threats, drawing on industry and sector profiling to understand the specific risks each client faces rather than applying a generic checklist. The result is a security strategy built on evidence, not assumption.

Our consultancy team is led by an executive group with a distinguished British Special Forces background and extensive public and private sector experience, giving clients access to a genuinely operational level of risk expertise rather than a purely theoretical one.

With the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 (Martyn’s Law) now placing statutory duties on qualifying premises, we also help organisations build proportionate, compliant protective security plans that stand up to scrutiny and evolve with the threat landscape.

Why Octaga

Intelligence-led, not one-size-fits-all

Every recommendation we make is grounded in a genuine understanding of the site, the sector and the current threat picture, not a standard template applied across every client.

Case Study

UK and Overseas

Octaga Security Services has extensive expertise in security risk assessment, consultancy and operational management, supporting film and television studios, corporate organisations and High Net Worth (HNW) clients. Our specialist knowledge enables us to identify vulnerabilities, assess security risks and develop practical, proportionate security strategies tailored to each client’s individual circumstances and requirements.

Our consultancy services support clients across a wide range of environments, from complex film and television studios and corporate facilities to high-value residential estates and HNW properties. We provide independent, practical advice designed to strengthen security infrastructure, improve operational resilience and ensure security measures are aligned with the specific risks and operational requirements of each client.

Recently, Octaga provided specialist security consultancy to two international film and television studios, one in Australia and the other in Spain. These engagements demonstrated our ability to provide expert guidance across different regulatory and operational environments, aligning our recommendations with applicable Australian and Spanish standards while addressing the specific requirements of each studio.

As part of these consultancy engagements, Octaga conducted detailed assessments of the studio environments to identify potential security risks, vulnerabilities and opportunities for improvement. We provided recommendations covering industry best practice, risk mitigation, security processes and operational procedures, helping each studio establish a more structured and effective approach to security management.

Octaga also provides specialist guidance on the design and planning of security environments, ensuring security considerations are incorporated at an early stage. This can include recommendations relating to site layouts, car parks, access points, perimeter security, CCTV, access control and the wider integration of security measures with operational requirements.

For corporate and HNW clients, our risk consultancy can include comprehensive security assessments of premises, personnel, access arrangements, physical security measures, technology and operational procedures. We identify vulnerabilities and provide practical recommendations to strengthen protection, reduce risk and improve overall security resilience.

To support ongoing security operations, Octaga can also develop bespoke Assignment Instructions, security procedures and operational frameworks. These provide security personnel with a clear and structured understanding of their responsibilities, procedures, operational expectations and escalation requirements, helping to ensure consistency, accountability and effective security delivery.

Our consultancy approach combines extensive operational experience with specialist security expertise, enabling Octaga to provide practical and proportionate recommendations for studios, corporate organisations and HNW clients. We work closely with each client to understand their specific risks and objectives, providing solutions that enhance security while remaining aligned with their operational, commercial and personal requirements.
