Problem-Solving Security Solutions

We specialise in comprehensive security consulting, addressing both physical and cyber threats. Our team streamlines the process of sourcing and implementation of innovative solutions to safeguard your assets.

The UK security industry has an annual turnover of £8.7bn.

Cyber and physical security are now inextricably linked, whereby criminals will exploit an organisation’s physical security vulnerabilities to conduct cyber-enabled attacks – whether to steal intellectual property, conduct industrial espionage, blackmail or direct action forms of protest.

While organisations and security professionals recognise the convergence of security threats, there is a gap in providers offering an holistic approach to physical and cyber security services.

About

Steer Security Consulting Ltd, trading as Steer Security, is a problem solving security consultancy that helps clients solutionise security risks and threats to organisations in one place. We take the stress away from organisations with end-to-end solutions, from understanding physical and cyber security threats, to sourcing and implementing innovative security solutions.

Our consultants support clients to source and implement, test, practice and continuously improve the security measures and solutions.

Steer Security is made up of three core components – Steer Risk, Steer Audit and Steer Talent.
