The Public Sector is the backbone of our society, processing vast volumes of sensitive information and managing assets and services that are critical to public safety and the United Kingdom’s interests, both at home and abroad. The threats to our national interest are diverse and constantly evolving, with MI5 working tirelessly to safeguard UK citizens, while MI6 protects and promotes British interests overseas.
At a local level, security threats may include crime, cyber-attacks, natural disasters and terrorism risks. These challenges all directly impact community safety and therefore require preventative management by local authorities to ensure public wellbeing.
We understand the unique challenges faced by the public sector and can work with all levels of government to mitigate risks. Whether that’s the devolved administrations, local authorities, non- departmental public bodies or the emergency services, we can work with you to deliver protective security measures that are proportionate to the threat, ensuring the safety of your assets and services while supporting the wider community.

Engaging with an independent security consultant is crucial for ensuring unbiased and objective security advice. Many so-called “security consultants” are also engaged in selling security technology or protective services, which leads to a conflict of interest. This conflict arises because their recommendations may be influenced by their own financial interest in selling specific products or services. Generally, this involves the sale of specific types of products such as electronic security systems or guarding services. As a result, the recommendations that you are given may be costly, biased, and not aligned with your actual security needs.
An Independent Security Consultant is not affiliated with the sale of security hardware, electronic security systems or guarding services and they do not pay or receive any finder’s fees. A critical part of an Independent Security Consultant’s work is to determine your organisation’s security risks, vulnerabilities and the types of services you require, without bias, favour or influence, which is impossible if the decisions are being swayed by external parties looking to improve their bottom line. At Franklyn & Webster, our team of independent security consultants, can give you the peace of mind that any recommendations are based solely on your organisation's best interests.
Contrary to popular belief, the quality of service provided by large national or international firms is often no better than that of a smaller independent firm. In fact, in many cases, it can be worse. Clients can often be enticed by the CVs of senior staff at larger firms as this is what is showcased, but the actual work is commonly completed by individuals who are considerably less experienced.
Small independent security consultancy firms offer personalised services, where the owners and senior consultants tend to be directly involved in your project. Your project is treated with greater importance whilst still being handled by highly experienced security risk consultants. This ensures your unique needs are met with care and precision, leading to more effective, tailored security solutions for your company.
While the smaller firm needs to generate profits to stay in business, there is generally less emphasis on short-term results and a greater emphasis on developing long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with clients. Being independent means the firm has no affiliations in selling specific services or technology, giving you peace of mind that recommendations are solely in your company’s best interest. Smaller firms are also more flexible and responsive, and without the overhead costs of larger firms, they usually offer more cost-effective solutions.
