Specialists in Security, Resilience and Risk Consulting since 2008
Our underlying philosophy is a simple one: that all our clients have individual needs and expectations.
Rose Associates International Ltd is a niche Security, Resilience, & Risk consulting practice. We listen carefully to each individual client and provide bespoke services tailored to meet their unique requirements – there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach.
Our Managing Partner is a Chartered Security Professional, SABRE Registered Assessor and SQSS, and trusted partner of Government Agencies to work on CNI projects.
Our services range from BREEAM consulting through to advanced Counter Terrorist planning and Design, with particular experience in crowded places such as Stadia and large Entertainment venues. As a company we have been involved in the consultation process for the introduction of Martyn’s Law.
Rose Associates International Ltd is a British company based in the picturesque Worcestershire town of Pershore.
Our core business is Resilience, Security and Risk Management.
From experience we have found that a structured approach to assessing threats and analysing the associated risks is essential if organisations are to make informed, defensible decisions about managing those risks. A properly conducted TARA fulfils a number of functions:
With strong backgrounds in Military Security and Counter Intelligence, Police Crime Prevention and Technical Security Design, we deliver a benchmark standard in professionalism, proportionality and common sense. Our Security Auditing methodology relates directly back to our tenets of Threat and Risk Assessment and Security Planning. We review existing measures against agreed threat vectors and gauge their effectiveness against benchmarked best practice. Our resulting report provides an assessment of vulnerability and a set of mitigations to reduce both the vulnerability itself and the impact of a negative event if it were to happen.
Security Planning covers a wide range of interconnected services that are delivered throughout the life of a project. The level of security planning applied to a specific project is directly related to the output of the TARA. Defined elements include:
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill – (Martyn’s Law) will impose a legal duty on certain premises and events to take steps to reduce the likelihood of physical harm in the event of a terrorist attack.
The bill is intended to ensure public premises and events are better prepared for terrorist attacks, requiring them to take reasonably practicable steps, which vary according to their capacity, to mitigate the impact of a terrorist attack and reduce physical harm.
Rose Associates International Ltd can provide sensible and sensitive advice to enable risk owners to protect the public with best practice counter-terrorist risk mitigation measures which are not only cost effective and proportionate but will also enhance the operational and aesthetic imperatives of the venue.
Security Master planning describes the integration of security planning into the early stages of general master planning of large-scale developments, installations, facilities and urban areas.
When properly performed, this activity not only generates a safe and secure environment for owners, operators and users of the space, but also significantly reduces the downstream costs of implementing security and resilience engineering, as the environment is already optimised for best-practice security and safety works.
Through our UK partner company, Triton Risk Management, we can provide full Fire and Explosion Hazard Management services as identified in the Energy Institute Model Code of Safe Practice IP 19. We adopt a proven threat and risk-based approach through an integrated safety and security cycle ensuring that we protect people (including staff, contractors and public), the environment, assets and reputation.
SABRE (Security Assurance by BRE) is a security assessment and certification standard for buildings, infrastructure and managed space. SABRE can be used by developers, owners, occupiers and planning authorities to set high standards of security risk management for the design and construction of new developments, and the operation of existing facilities.
Successful assessments result in a SABRE Rating ranging from ‘Acceptable’ (1 star) to ‘Outstanding’ (5 stars). Certification can be used to demonstrate your commitment to security, evidence value for money, attract security-minded tenants, and much more.
Rose Associates International Ltd is a SABRE Licensed Company (ref: SLC-019) and our SABRE Registered Assessors can support clients at all stages of a development’s lifecycle, including:
All of our SABRE Registered Assessors have experience in the field of security risk management and working on a range of development types. We will help you set a target SABRE Rating and will work with all members of the client’s team to help ensure that target is adhered to. We provide a tailored service at all applicable stages of the building’s lifecycle and are a valued member of the team.
We can also provide a number of technical SABRE services to support the assessment process, delivered by our SABRE Professionals, including:
SABRE certification also results in the award of an Innovation Credit for new construction projects working towards BREEAM UK New Construction 2018 approval.
The Register of Chartered Security Professionals (CSyP) was established under a Royal Charter granted to the Worshipful Company of Security Professionals in the UK and launched in 2011. Registrants use CSyP as a post nominal. Being admitted to the Register and becoming a CSyP is a means of being recognised and continuing to represent the highest standards and ongoing proficiency. It is the gold standard of competence in security practice. CSyPs must comply with a Code of Conduct, a Professional Disciplinary Code, and also complete Continuous Professional Development each year. The Register is recognised across the UK, including by the Association of Security Consultants (ASC), the International Professional Security Association (IPSA), The Security Industry Authority (SIA), The Security Institute and NPSA (National Protective Security Authority)
