What We Do
VSAT® enables you to conduct a security assessment to UK Government and internationally recognised standards. VSAT® is ideally suited for an organisation that needs to conduct any form of security review across multiple sites that are spread out geographically. VSAT® will take the user through a series of questions that are designed to identify any key security vulnerabilities and risks. Once the questions have been answered, the user will instantly receive an online report that provides an overall risk rating, a detailed explanation why certain risks may have been highlighted, and suggested mitigating strategies designed to reduce the risk.
Arl partners have a team of trained and accredited security professionals who are available to conduct any on-site audits or verification visits to quality assure the responses provided on VSAT®. Using methodologies and standards first created by the UK Government for protective security, our consultants can also deploy as part of your team or independently to support or quality assure any security related work that might be required to close off any risks that might have been identified on VSAT®.
At arl partners, we have considerable experience and expertise delivering the highest levels of security in some of the world’s most challenging environments and at some of the most complex critical national infrastructure sites, public venues and retail centres.
