Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• SHL: Global provider of psychometric assessment and talent measurement solutions used in recruitment and leadership development. Comparable to Allied's Hogan/HALO psychometric service line, but operating at global scale across enterprise HR functions.

Direct peers

• SecureCorp: Australian-owned integrated security and facility services firm providing guarding, mobile patrols, electronic security and risk consulting. Directly comparable on integrated security and risk advisory offerings to corporate and venue clients.
• MSS Security: One of Australia's largest specialist security services providers offering manned guarding, event security and integrated security solutions. Directly comparable to Allied Risk Solutions' security manpower, event/crowd management and concierge/loss prevention services.
• SNP Security: Australian security and facility services provider with a strong hospitality and events book. Overlaps with Allied on event security, guard services and concierge-style offerings across Australia.

Broad incumbents

• Aon Australia: Global risk advisory, insurance brokerage and management consulting firm with significant Australian operations. Comparable to Allied's risk, compliance and consulting offerings but as part of a much broader portfolio.
• Wilson Security: National Australian security services incumbent (now part of a global group) offering manned guarding, mobile patrols and risk consulting. Comparable to Allied on security manpower and integrated services but operates at much larger scale across multiple verticals.
• Certis Security Australia: Australia arm of a global security services group offering manned security, technology solutions and integrated security. Overlaps with Allied's security services and integrated CCTV/event security lines, though at significantly larger scale.
• Marsh Australia: Global insurance broker and risk advisory firm operating in Australia. Comparable on enterprise risk consulting and compliance advisory, but serves much larger corporate clients with broader portfolios than Allied.

Others

• Risk Management Institute of Australasia (RMIA): Australasian professional body for risk managers offering training, certification and resources. Comparable to Allied's risk and compliance training and consulting work, though as a membership/professional body rather than commercial advisory.
• Hogan Assessment Systems: Owner of the Hogan Personality Suite (HPI/HDS/MVPI/Matrigma) and HALO platform that Allied Risk Solutions resells and implements. Adjacent relationship: Allied is a customer/channel partner, so Hogan is a critical upstream dependency and an obvious comparator on psychometric methodology.
