Security is the cornerstone of a thriving built environment, requiring a cohesive, integrated approach to enable smart, digital buildings. At Avexus Group, our multidisciplinary collaboration drives innovation, ensuring seamless and secure user experiences in smart buildings.
We create environments where people feel safe and empowered. By partnering with design teams and applying Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles, we shape spaces that enhance safety through thoughtful environmental design.
Digital transformation must never compromise security. Our independent product evaluations ensure technologies meet your aspirations while minimising network vulnerabilities. Through detailed security risk assessments, we propose mitigations tailored to your building’s risk profile, optimising costs while addressing threats effectively.
Security is often overlooked in the design process. Avexus Group engages early to integrate risk-based, cross-disciplinary security designs, identifying architectural features that enhance safety without compromising functionality.
Sustainability is vital for the future, and Avexus Group is dedicated to supporting your environmental goals. We assist with BREEAM compliance and conduct independent re-use studies to promote sustainable building practices.
Our experienced security team provides comprehensive risk management, design, and delivery across all project stages, from RIBA Stages 0–7 to operational building reviews.
Our Suitably Qualified Security Specialists deliver Security Needs Assessments (SNA) and SABRE Assessments in line with HEA 06 requirements, supporting your BREEAM and sustainability objectives. We collaborate with project teams to ensure SNA recommendations are practical and align with Secure by Design (SbD) principles, incorporating stakeholder consultations as needed.
Our Security Risk Assessments, grounded in ISO 31000 Risk Management principles, provide a structured approach to identifying, analysing, evaluating, treating, and continuously reviewing risks. This process ensures physical security measures reduce risks to as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP), forming a foundation for informed decision-making.
Physical security is increasingly critical in planning applications, evaluated by planners and local law enforcement. Avexus Group supports your project with Crime Impact Assessments that meet local and national security requirements, delivering a clear security strategy aligned with stakeholders and initiatives like Secure by Design (SbD).
We deliver risk-based physical and electronic security designs that align with your technological and operational goals. Our defense-in-depth strategies integrate with smart building, network, and AV disciplines to leverage cutting-edge technology, enhancing user experiences and operational efficiency. By coordinating with design teams, we prevent conflicts and capture interdisciplinary dependencies.
From tender to occupancy, our dedicated Project Management team oversees security project delivery, ensuring timelines are met and contractors deliver the expected quality.
Understanding terrorism-related risks is critical. Our scenario-based vulnerability assessments establish a Design Basis Threat (DBT), enabling precise blast or Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) measures. This ensures countermeasures are proportionate to your organisation’s risk profile, avoiding unnecessary costs while addressing potential threats.
Our comprehensive security audits focus on your specific objectives, identifying vulnerabilities in buildings, physical or operational security gaps, or technology shortcomings. These insights guide your organisation toward a secure environment for people and operations.
For organisations with multiple sites, inconsistent security measures can compromise quality and integration. Our Security Standards provide a uniform framework for design and delivery across locations, standardising products, technology, equipment placement, and installation requirements. This approach ensures consistency, enhances quality assurance, and may reduce costs.
