We are not tied to any one supplier or manufacturer so we can offer unbiased, objective and impartial advice in the following areas…
Business Threat / Security Risk Assessment
Every organisation will face some degree of security risk. It is only when you fully understand the types of risk and levels of risk that your organisation faces can you move to take measures to safeguard it.
We work with you to recognise these so you can take steps to control and manage the risks.

Not only will this strengthen your business but can show insurers, auditors, governing bodies and those concerned with corporate governance that external, professional security advice has been sought.
You will be in a position to demonstrate that reasonable steps have been taken to ensure that duty of care requirements have been addressed.
This service is of benefit to every organisation however it is essential to organisations who have lone workers working away from a permanent place of work such as sales representative.
We can help you to clearly define how to safeguard your staff by knowing exactly where they are during the working day and what to do in the event of an incident where accurate information and time are both critical to ensure their safety.
Construction Projects & Security Design
Clients often ask Systems Design to get involved with building and construction projects at an early stage.

Security Systems
CCTV Systems
There are many types and brands of CCTV systems on the market which can make the task of replacing an old system or installing a new system quite daunting.
Systems Design can assess the individual requirement of your business to provide a basic specification.
We are not tied to any particular CCTV manufacturer so we are then able to offer unbiased, objective and impartial options from suitable suppliers.
Access Control Security Systems
Systems Design can provide advice on access control security systems to allow secure entry to corporate buildings, offices & administrative buildings, retail shops, factories, warehouses and even highly secure environments such as banks and research laboratories.
With our unbiased and impartial knowledge of the marketplace and ability to assess your organisational requirements we aim to make it as simple and cost effective for our clients to provide safe and secure working environments.
Perimeter Security
Installing an effective perimeter protection system is often a challenge and one of the most critical features in the overall system is the specification of a perimeter fence and it’s installation.
There are many elements of a security system that must interact with a perimeter fence such as access control, detection systems, CCTV, electric fencing and security doors.
If the perimeter fence it’s self is incorrectly specified or installed then it will most likely render the whole perimeter security ineffectual. Systems Design has vast experience of consulting and project managing perimeter security projects.
From the initial survey and consultation through to installation, your perimeter security project is in safe hands with one of our specialist consultants.
All of the perimeter fences we recommend have matching gate applications available for commercial applications, offering security for vehicle or pedestrian access. Security gate opening options include Manual, Automated, Single or Double Leaf, Sliding or Tracked.
We can provide advice on traffic access control systems that can allow you the means to control the traffic flow whether it is pedestrians or vehicles. In addition we can also offer advice on a additional safety devices that allow you to tailor your perimeter access control systems such as:
- Traffic Arm Barriers
- Turnstiles
- One Way Road Blockers
- Rising Bollards
- And more...
Window Protection
Window Security Grilles
We can advise on the most effective protection for your vulnerable window areas. This might be a permanent grille as a deterrent to crime or in areas where appearance is important a retractable window grille system that can combine a classic appearance with an effective barrier.
Window Security Shutters
Your premises might benefit from window roller shutters which can be fitted internally or externally. Shutters are highly secure and not only prevent a physical barrier but prevent potential intruders from looking into a premises.
When not shut they can coil into a compact housing thus minimising their visual impact which can be important when considering planning permission or the wishes of the building owners.
Unbreakable Window Glazing
In areas where windows are repeatedly broken by burglars or vandals we can advise on Polycarbonate Glazing systems.
About 300 times stronger than normal glass and far stronger than toughened glass the glazing system is made up of polycarbonate sheets which are totally clear, scratch resistant and almost impossible to break.
Security Doors
Systems Design can advise on a wide range of reinforced doors and security doors that can be commissioned with a variety of locking mechanisms.
Steel Doors
Constructed from toughened steel for maximum external security. We can advise on steel reinforced doors that can be specified to any strength including being made to resist fire, ballistic and blast attacks.
Timber Doors
Designed for internal use, timber security doors can be suitable where the secure partition of two areas is critical. Ideal for customer facing areas where staff are separated from customers and also for creating ‘safe rooms’ within buildings. A timber security door can be built to resist ballistic attack if this is a requirement.
Full Installation & Commissioning Service
Systems Design has access to a nationwide database of qualified installers as well as our own preferred installers so we are able to offer our security system installation service.
