Site audits, multi-country audits, security master plans and contractor due diligence, delivered by an auditor from another country paired with a local expert.
Proposed services, subject to confirmed country coverage and contract.
Security spend is hard to justify when every country reports differently. Leadership needs one comparable view of risks, coverage and contractor performance.
The audit reviews documents, interviews and site observations against an agreed grid. A lead auditor from another country works with a local expert to understand licensing and operational constraints. Findings distinguish observed facts, missing evidence and matters requiring further investigation.
Recommendations are ranked by risk and feasibility, with suggested owners and dependencies. Immediate procedural corrections are separated from staffing or capital-investment decisions. The client can use the plan to request quotations and track closure without being obliged to buy further services from IPN.
A common scoring approach allows sites and countries to be compared without ignoring local requirements. The executive summary highlights material exposure, priority decisions and unresolved assumptions. Detailed findings remain available for operational teams to implement and verify corrective actions.
Auditor never from the audited member
Grid aligned with ISO 18788 and ISO 9001
Fee independent of any later contract
These scenarios illustrate an approach, not completed client assignments. The scope, resources and objectives are agreed for each project.
An industrial group wants to understand why sites have different security costs. Paired auditors assess access, perimeter protection, contractor performance and incident processes on one grid. The report distinguishes justified local differences from gaps in the group standard.
Outputs: comparative scorecard, risk register and prioritised investment roadmap.
Before renewing a guarding contract, a client requests an independent review of licences, employment evidence, supervision and incident records. Missing documents and observed failures are recorded separately. The client receives a decision-ready assessment rather than a sales proposal.
Outputs: due-diligence checklist, evidence gaps and corrective-action recommendations.
Yes: the lead auditor always comes from another country and the fee does not depend on any later contract.
Typically one to two days on site, with a report within 72 hours.
Yes, including licences, wages and compliance.
Possibly, and you are informed of it in writing from the start.
Due diligence checklist for security contractors: licences, wages, working time, insurance, human rights, anti-bribery, sanctions, subcontracting.
