A security consultant acts as an adviser and supervisor for an organisation, building owner or property developer with regard to the design and incorporation of the most suitable security solutions for their needs. Clients typically require security consultants to advise on potential security threats and likely breaches, and create contingency protocols to safeguard their organisation or asset.

Security consultants often have specialised training and experience, and can either be independent or work for an organisation alongside, for example, IT consultants and other security experts. It is usual for independent security consultants, in an effort at mitigating conflicts of interest, to avoid professional affiliation with companies that manufacture and market security services/products.

The security risks presented by each client and asset may vary considerably, however, some of the typical responsibilities of a security consultant include:

* Assessment of the optimal protection strategy for IT, data and networks against cyber crime.
* Undertake vulnerability testing, risk analyses and security assessments.
* Provide cost estimates for security strategy implementation.
* Research and design security architectures that are best suited for the client’s assets.
* Supervise and provide technical guidance to a security team.
* Respond to security breaches and provide post-breach analysis.
* Upgrade of security systems as required.
