Typical Engagements
A selection of the ways in which Oscar Leon Consulting typically supports clients. Every engagement is individually scoped according to the client’s circumstances, objectives and operational environment.
Organisations rarely require every aspect of protective security to be reviewed at once. More often, they need experienced independent advice in relation to a specific concern, project or period of change. The examples below illustrate the types of engagement most commonly undertaken.
Independent Structured Review
A structured, independent assessment of existing security arrangements where reassurance, objective validation or practical direction is required. The review considers how people, procedures and security measures function together in practice, identifying strengths, areas requiring adjustment, and prioritised recommendations to support proportionate, informed decision-making. Learn more about the Independent Diagnostic Review.
Security Assurance & Independent Second Opinion
Independent review of existing security proposals, planned investments or operational arrangements where objective assurance is required before significant decisions are made. This engagement provides experienced judgement to help validate assumptions, challenge recommendations, identify overlooked risks and ensure that proposed solutions are proportionate, practical and aligned with operational need.
Interim & Fractional Security Leadership
Experienced strategic and operational security leadership for organisations requiring senior oversight without appointing a full-time security lead. This engagement provides continuity, independent judgement and practical direction during periods of change, growth, recruitment or increased operational demand.
Martyn's Law Preparedness
Independent advice to help organisations understand the practical implications of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 (Martyn’s Law) and develop proportionate protective security arrangements. Support may include reviewing existing measures, identifying gaps and helping organisations prioritise practical improvements appropriate to their circumstances. Learn more about Martyn’s Law.
Electronic and Physical Security Design & Assurance
Independent advice covering the design, specification and assurance of electronic and physical security measures. This may include developing operational requirements, preparing technical specifications, evaluating proposed solutions, overseeing implementation, or providing independent assurance that systems are appropriate, proportionate and aligned with operational needs.
Executive Protection & Protective Security Advisory
Independent advice on the development, review and oversight of executive and protective security arrangements for individuals, families and organisations. This may include executive protection capability, residential security, travel security, operational planning, provider selection and governance, ensuring protective measures remain proportionate, effective and aligned with the client’s operational and personal requirements.
Not every requirement fits neatly into a predefined category. If your circumstances differ from those outlined above, an initial discussion can help determine whether an independent engagement would be appropriate and, if so, how it should be scoped.
