Evaluate post duties, visitor handling, access checks, patrols, observation, escalation, emergency action, communication, discipline, and incident reporting.
Test camera monitoring, suspicious-activity recognition, alarm handling, evidence preservation, radio communication, logging, escalation, and control-room procedures.
Review route planning, perimeter checks, hazard identification, response priorities, lone-worker safety, vehicle checks, scene protection, and shift handover.
Assess workforce deployment, post instructions, client coordination, escalation, investigations, training, performance monitoring, compliance, and incident leadership.
Protection readiness framework
Measure how candidates observe activity, control movement, patrol facilities, respond to incidents, communicate with stakeholders, and document security events.
Recognise suspicious behaviour, unusual conditions, safety hazards, access violations, unattended items, and emerging threats.
Confirm identity, permissions, passes, deliveries, vehicles, keys, restricted access, and required security procedures.
Prioritise safety, secure the area, request support, guide occupants, preserve evidence, and follow emergency procedures.
Provide calm instructions, accurate radio updates, clear escalation, professional customer communication, and complete records.
Security incident simulation
Present realistic access violations, suspicious behaviour, theft, conflict, emergency, fire, crowd, alarm, and evidence-handling scenarios to understand how candidates protect people and property.
The candidate must maintain a safe distance, communicate professionally, verify authority, request support, protect the restricted area, preserve evidence, and complete an accurate incident report.
The individual appears uncertain and avoids the main security desk.
The displayed badge does not match the restricted location.
The individual becomes defensive when questioned.
CCTV footage and access records must be preserved.
Review situational awareness, response priorities, communication, de-escalation, procedure knowledge, customer handling, evidence protection, reporting quality, and the strength of each security decision.
