Finbarr Solutions announced the launch of free face-to-face video consultations with a member of the Register of Chartered Security Professionals. The service is available to any organization that would benefit from expert independent advice, regarding their security requirements and systems, manning levels, and/or security postures. 

The Register of Chartered Security Professionals was established under a Royal Charter issued to the Worshipful Company of Security Professionals in the UK and was launched in 2011. It is widely recognized as the gold standard of competence in the security industry. Ciaran Barry CSyP is the Managing Director of Finbarr Solutions and joined the Register in 2019.

Ciaran comments: “January is often an ideal time to assess security provision for the year ahead, whether it is reviewing the performance and ongoing suitability of existing systems, preparing tenders for new services and solutions, or assessing skills and training requirements.”

The 30-minute free consultation can also be guided by a specific issue or topic such as handling sensitive workplace investigations, legal requirements for employees working from home, or dealing with cybercrime. Ciaran cites specific guidance that every organization can benefit from, in terms of preparedness and agility, to face the uncertainty of the year ahead:

“Last year many business continuities and crisis management plans were conceived and initiated on the fly. It is important to frequently take stock of what is working, what needs to improve, and how to go about making the right decisions. Many smaller organizations struggle as they don’t have easy, or affordable access to expertise. It is for this reason Finbarr Solutions is launching free consultations.”

In addition to the CSyP post-nominal, Ciaran has a Diploma in Security Management (with Distinction), a BA Hons Degree in Business Studies, and holds an ASIS Certified Protection Professional qualification (CPP). During his career, Ciaran has also spent ten years serving in the British Army and eight years at Hertfordshire Constabulary as a detective.

Finbarr Solutions was created out of a desire to modernize and simplify the security and risk management services sector.
