A security risk assessment is an absolute must. Put simply, it’s the first step in any organisation’s security strategy. But the process is much less simple. It entails comprehensively capturing and analysing the right information, and translating it into informed recommendations. We’ll take care of that for you.
Matryx brings you greater insight to your risk and security strategies, thanks to RiskDynamyx®
We use our knowledge, data and insights from over 750 security risk assessments. We combine this with the unique capabilities and intelligence of RiskDynamyx®. It’s our bank of real-time assessment knowledge that we use for predictive security management.
RiskDynamyx® gives our assessments the edge, and our risk reports hand you the power. That’s how organisations make better security decisions.

Is a security risk assessment needed for my property?
One of the questions we’re regularly asked is “is my property suited to a security risk assessment?” If you have any concerns about crime, staff safety, or if you work in high-risk goods or services, then your property needs a security risk assessment.
What happens after a security risk assessment?
The next step is to decide what you do with the insights your assessment will provide. To help our clients implement recommendations and security solutions, we offer a Managed Service.
