Ashridge Safety

Cognitious

Health-and-safety consultancy, site audits and ongoing compliance support for commercial estates.

Comprehensive security threat and risk assessments designed to support ongoing compliance, reduce risk exposure, and enhance protection across commercial and residential estates.

Cognitious is a subsidiary of the Ashridge Group and was formed following the tragic acts of terrorism that have become a more common occurrence throughout Europe. Although the public security services provide some assurance and planning guidance to organisations, it was realised that this was not enough to meet the needs and concerns of our clients in helping them prepare and reduce the risk of serious incident and crime.

Cognitious provides protective security consultancy and training to many organisations which includes the theatre, residential, hospitality, tourism and further education sectors, amongst others.

Our core services are:

  • Proactive Security Reviews
  • Physical Security Penetration Testing
  • Emergency preparedness
  • Protective security reviews and planning
  • Lockdown, evacuation planning
  • Explosive search and awareness
  • Emergency media and communications
  • Tabletop tactical exercises & readiness/simulation exercises

Our experience:

We have assisted several luxury residential complexes where the following services are currently being undertaken:

  • Full review of all security procedures
  • Recommendation and implementation of new security procedures
  • Advising and recommending electronic security solutions to aid operational requirements.
  • Compliance checks on all personnel entering restricted areas
  • Providing asset protection in securing high value items

Our proactive security review looks at people, processes, and technology working together to deter, detect, delay, and respond to threats.
