It gives us great pleasure to introduce the Independent Security Consultancy Service (ISCS) as a new service on offer to our valued clients. The aim of this function is to ensure that our clients receive the best possible value and cost savings on new operations or, on existing contracts. Security costs can be prohibitive in the telecommunications industry. Networks may well be paying over the odds for insufficient, overmanned, over-priced or sub-standard security services due to the lack of preparatory research and knowledge at the evaluation and selection process. A small percentage saving on a medium to long term security contract could result in substantial savings over a given period of time.
ISCS, as the name suggests, is an independent security consultancy that specializes in the analysis, evaluation and the financial variables of contract security. ISCS has no bias or ties to any security providers allowing us to give a completely honest and professional appraisal of the client’s needs. The results of this appraisal will be submitted only after a thorough evaluation based on client needs, sourcing local or international companies capable of delivering the services required, the issuing of a comprehensive Scope of Works, the issuing of a Request for Quotation and an aggressive one to one commercial and capability evaluation of offer with any prospective suppliers.
We have an in depth understanding of direct and indirect costs, overheads and the expected profit margins that are the main ingredients of a security quotation. ISCS can make cost savings by enforcing the use of best practice, concurrent activity and shared resources with the security setup. Strong negotiation skills combined with an in-depth knowledge of the business is a powerful tool when discussing inflated charge rates.
ISCS can offer a range of services including but not limited to; new business start ups, evaluation and renegotiation of current contracts, the transfer of in-house to outsourced security (or outsourced to in-house), operational implementation and initial development of new security operations, provision of security related policies and procedures and local management training.
We can confidently offer these services as our senior consultant has many years experience within the operational and commercial aspects of the business as well as holding a number of senior management positions in the UK and abroad.
