What We Audit

The five domains of a Lumen Assure audit.

A half-day on-site visit — observation of a real entry cycle, staff interviews, document review, and a walkthrough — assessed across five domains, followed by a written report with prioritised findings, quick wins, and longer-term recommendations.

Access control & entry procedure

How people actually get into the building — and what happens when someone unknown tries.

Front-of-house procedure & consistency

Whether the desk runs the same way on every shift, or depends on who happens to be on duty.

Incident & information handling

What happens when something feels wrong — and what the desk gives away without meaning to.

Physical layout & procedural interaction

Where the building's layout quietly works against the written procedure.

Staff readiness & training

Whether the people at the desk have been given what they need to apply the procedure with confidence.

Scope

What this is — and isn't.

We audit the human and procedural side of building security. Three things sit deliberately outside our scope:

Not a fire risk assessment
Fire safety has its own statutory regime and specialist assessors — we don't duplicate it.
Not a technical CCTV or alarm review
We look at how systems are used day to day, not at the hardware itself.
Not a compliance certification
We provide professional observations and recommendations, not a pass/fail sign-off.
