Practical, auditor-led ISO consultancy for UK security providers — manned guarding, cyber security and physical and electronic security firms. From information security to quality and environmental management, we help you build, certify and maintain systems that win contracts and stand up to scrutiny — led by an IRCA Registered Principal Auditor.
Security providers handle sensitive client data, site access and personnel vetting. These are the standards that buyers and assessors look for most.
For security companies, information security is front and centre. You hold client site plans, access codes, CCTV footage, alarm response data and personnel records — exactly the kind of information that a breach would expose. ISO 27001 is increasingly the price of entry for tenders, framework agreements and regulated clients who expect proof that this information is genuinely protected.
Our ISO 27001 consultancy helps security firms build an information security management system (ISMS) that is proportionate, defensible and certifiable.
Consistent, repeatable service delivery is what keeps guarding contracts and monitoring SLAs intact. ISO 9001 gives you the quality framework behind that consistency. We help align your management system with ISO 9001 and with the service-delivery expectations of SIA ACS and standards such as BS 7499 (static guarding) and BS 7858 (screening).
Mobile patrols, vehicle fleets and multi-site operations all carry an environmental footprint that larger clients increasingly ask about in their procurement. ISO 14001 gives you a structured way to manage and reduce that impact and to answer environmental questions in tenders with evidence rather than assertion.
TAC is a consultancy. We help you align your management system with these standards and the relevant SIA ACS and British Standard expectations — we do not issue SIA, ACS or certification-body accreditation.
A clear path from where you are now to a certified, maintainable management system.
We assess your current management system against the relevant standards and produce a clear, prioritised picture of where you stand and what is needed to close the gaps.
We help you build the policies, processes and controls your management system needs — proportionate to the way a security business actually operates across guarding, monitoring and mobile operations.
We run internal audits and prepare you for external assessment, so issues are found and fixed before a certification body or ACS assessor ever sees them.
A pre-certification review by an IRCA Registered Principal Auditor means you walk into Stage 1 and Stage 2 assessments knowing your evidence will stand up to scrutiny.
Certification is the start, not the finish. We help you keep the system living through surveillance audits, management reviews and continual improvement.
A live management system generates a constant stream of evidence — risk assessments, corrective actions, audit findings, vetting records, supplier reviews and management reviews. For a multi-site security operation, keeping all of that current is where many organisations slip between surveillance audits.
After implementation, many of our clients use PICMS to maintain that evidence, track audit actions and stay continually compliant. PICMS is a separate UK-built ISO compliance platform, designed by an IRCA Registered Principal Auditor — it is the software, while TAC provides the consultancy.
