We are leaders in security, providing resources, guidance and expert advice to help protect and keep your business secure from external threats.
Our Advice & Expertise
Senior leaders need to understand key principles of protective security to guide strategic decision-making.
CPNI’s protective security methodology is based on the core principles of Deter, Detect and Delay.
Effective physical security of an asset is achieved by multi-layering the different measures, what is commonly referred to as ‘defence-in-depth’.
