What Security Consulting Group does

Security Consulting Group (SCG) is a wholly Australian-owned and operated professional services firm that provides independent security, ICT engineering, and risk management consultancy to clients operating in high-security environments. Its core service lines are Risk, Governance & Assurance (security audits, risk assessments aligned to ISO 31000 and HB 167:2025, and governance frameworks), Design & Engineering (security master planning, electronic security design, ICT/network design, SCEC consultancy, hostile vehicle mitigation, blast analysis, CPTED, and construction oversight), Protective Security (personnel security, supply chain security, crowded places protection, counter-intelligence), and Firing Range & Ballistics Design. SCG maintains one of the largest teams of SCEC-endorsed Security Zone Consultants in Australia and is a Transport for NSW Technically Assured Organisation, with credentials that gate access to defence, federal, state, and critical-infrastructure engagements.

The firm's underlying delivery stack combines codified international methodologies (UK NPSA for hostile vehicle mitigation, IWA-14/PAS 68 barrier standards) with in-house REVIT and BIM modelling for coordinated 3D security design, integrated SCEC Type 1/1A Security Alarm System commissioning, and alignment with PSPF, ISO 31000, ISO 22341, AS 4811, and the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018. SCG is structured as a sovereign, employee-owned business with a security-cleared (NV1 and above) workforce, providing vendor-independent advice to government and enterprise clients.

SCG operates six Australian offices (Melbourne HQ, Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide) and delivers services via direct enterprise consulting engagements — typically fixed-fee or time-and-materials contracts awarded through RFPs and strategic partnerships with government and enterprise clients in defence, justice, transport, technology and data infrastructure, and social/critical infrastructure sectors. Revenue is project-based professional services income, with no disclosed pricing or contract value, and no external funding raised.
