Many high-value homes have excellent alarms and cameras and a gate that looks impressive from the road. Then a well-dressed stranger rings the bell claiming to be from the security company, and the housekeeper lets him in to check the system. A home is only as secure as the people who open its doors, and they are rarely trained to be suspicious.
Testing with care
Residential testing is planned discreetly with the principal or family office, with strict boundaries around family members, children and staff welfare. We agree in advance what may be tested and how, and nobody is ever put in a position where they feel threatened.
What we look at
Boundaries, gardens and outbuildings. Gates, doors and windows. How deliveries, tradespeople and visitors are handled. Whether household staff and drivers can be persuaded to share information or allow access. How quickly an alarm leads to a real response.
Why it matters
Burglaries of high-value homes are often carefully planned, sometimes using information gathered from staff, contractors or social media. Testing shows a family where those weaknesses lie before a criminal finds them.
What happens next
Findings are shared privately, with practical changes ranging from simple household procedures to improvements in physical and technical security.
Many families follow testing with lifestyle security training and background checks for staff. Talk to us in confidence.
