Sentinel
Assess. Prioritise. Protect.
Security of your staff, visitors, property, information and assets is critical. This is in the context of heightened crime levels and other external threats. Your organisation and its Board are having to deal with competing calls for investment and day-to-day spend.
TIAA’s Sentinel service is a strategic security assessment and has been developed to help our clients assess the levels of maturity across critical areas. Sentinel is led by experienced professionals with backgrounds in law enforcement, military, and estate security. Our approach is practical and tailored, offering an assessment of the level of maturity based on your organisation’s risk profile and operational needs.
This supports your Board in making informed, risk-based decisions on investment, helping to focus limited resources. The result is improved resilience, strengthened legal compliance, and greater confidence in the organisation’s ability to protect people, property, and continuity of service.
Our Approach
We evaluate maturity in key areas to enhance overall security and performance. This comprehensive assessment will help identify strengths and areas for improvement, ensuring a robust and resilient security framework. By understanding your current capabilities and gaps, you can develop targeted strategies to mitigate risks, improve security of staff, visitors and property, and foster a culture of continuous improvement and vigilance
Your bespoke Sentinel report will provide a maturity assessment for each key area, using six-tiers: Non-existent, ad hoc, basic, defined, managed through to the top tier, which is optimised.
The Benefits of Sentinel
- Enhanced Security: Identify and address strategic gaps in your security practices to protect your organisation, people and assets.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensure your organisation focuses efforts to meet the requirements of relevant security standards and regulations.
- Continuous Improvement: Regularly update and refine your security measures based on the assessment results.
