The Role of a Security Consultant and New Security Laws

Security Advice on Martyn's Law

As Independent Security Consultants, we play a crucial role in safeguarding businesses, venues, and public spaces against security threats.

Our expertise helps organisations identify vulnerabilities, implement security measures, and ensure compliance with legal and regulatory standards.

Our key responsibilities include:

Conducting risk assessments to identify potential security threats.
Developing security strategies tailored to an organisation’s needs.
Advising on physical security measures, such as surveillance, access control, security lighting and perimeter security.
Training staff on security awareness and emergency response.
Assisting in the implementation of security technologies.
Ensuring compliance with government regulations and industry best practices.

What is Martyn’s Law?

Martyn’s Law (also known as the Protect Duty) is a proposed UK legislation designed to enhance security in public spaces. Named after Martyn Hett, a victim of the horrific 2017 Manchester Arena terrorist attack, the law seeks to ensure that venues and public areas are better prepared for terrorist threats.

Martyn’s Law will require businesses and event organisers to:

Conduct regular risk assessments to identify potential threats.
Implement proportionate security measures to reduce risks.
Train staff in counter-terrorism awareness and emergency procedures.
Develop clear emergency response plans to improve preparedness.
Collaborate with local authorities and law enforcement to share security intelligence.

As Martyn’s Law comes into effect, we play a vital role in helping organisations adhere to the new regulations. By working with a security consultant, businesses can:

Gain a comprehensive security audit to assess existing measures.
Receive tailored guidance on compliance with Martyn’s Law.
Implement effective staff training programs in security awareness.
Establish clear security policies that align with legal requirements.
Enhance emergency preparedness through drills and scenario planning.
