Physical Security Review
Protect your premises. Secure your future. Build resilience.
Good security doesn’t happen by accident. It’s planned, tested, and continuously improved. Whether you’re running a high-footfall venue, managing critical infrastructure, or overseeing a building fit-out, knowing how secure your environment really can be the difference between business as usual and business interrupted.
Toro’s Physical Security Review gives you a clear, honest picture of how well your physical protections are working and where improvements are needed. We help you identify vulnerabilities, strengthen defences, and build a safer, more resilient organisation from the ground up.

What is a Physical Security Review?
A Physical Security Review is an in-depth evaluation of your organisation’s physical defences – tailored to your environment, operations, and risk profile.
Toro’s expert consultants assess how effectively your current systems, infrastructure, and processes protect people, property, and critical operations. We look at everything from access control, CCTV, and perimeter defences, to manned guarding, lighting, visitor protocols, emergency procedures and cyber-physical integration.
This is not a generic checklist. Every review is bespoke aligned to your sector, threat landscape, and internal capability. You’ll receive a detailed security report and workshop covering:
- Your current strengths
- Vulnerabilities and risk exposure
- Prioritised recommendations with pragmatic, achievable actions
Whether you’re operating a single facility or multiple high-risk sites, our review gives you the insights and confidence to make smarter security decisions now and in the future.

Physical Security Review – A bespoke process that is specific to the particular area or areas of concern and can support an existing capability to improve.
- Prior to a facility construction, refurbishment, or re-fit to guide security design planning,

It's an in-depth evaluation of a company’s security measures aimed at identifying potential risks and improving safety. This review is essential for businesses to protect assets, ensure the safety of employees and customers, and meet regulatory requirements. A comprehensive review highlights vulnerabilities and provides actionable insights to strengthen security.
The length depends on the size and complexity of the premises. A review might take from a few days to several weeks. During the Review, experts assess elements such as access control, CCTV coverage, security policies, staff training, and emergency response protocols to develop a thorough safety profile.
Toro examines key security aspects, including:
- Access control systems (keycard and lock systems)
- CCTV and surveillance coverage
- Alarm systems and intrusion detection
- Perimeter security (fences, gates, barriers)
- Lighting and visibility in critical areas
- Emergency response planning
- Security procedures including visitor and employee
- Cyber-physical security integration
- Company security policies and procedures
During a review, we often find vulnerabilities such as:
- Ineffective use and setup of access control, intruder detection and CCTV surveillance systems
- Blind spots in surveillance coverage
- Insufficient lighting in high-risk areas
- Insecure entry points, like loading docks or emergency exits
- Inactionable procedures
- Limited or ineffective staff security training
- Addressing these vulnerabilities helps create a stronger, more resilient security framework.
A review identifies weaknesses in your existing security and suggests targeted improvements. By addressing these areas, your business can reduce risks of unauthorised access, theft, and workplace incidents, promoting a safer environment for both employees and visitors.
The cost varies according to an organisation’s size, location, and security needs.

We work to minimise disruptions. Most evaluations, like policy reviews and perimeter checks, are carried out without interrupting regular business activities. Where tests such as alarm system checks may cause brief interruptions, we collaborate with you to schedule these in advance.

- Upgrades to security systems (e.g., cameras, locks)
- Updated policies and procedures
- Enhanced employee training to raise security awareness
We provide ongoing support, including:
- Assistance with implementing recommended security improvements
- Follow-up assessments to gauge effectiveness
