Overview
What do risk management and training cover?
Risk management is the structured process of identifying security threats to your people, sites, and operations and putting proportionate measures in place; training is how those standards are built and maintained — through accredited courses for handlers and security staff.
GSS assesses risk and writes clear, actionable security plans, and delivers accredited training. Canine training follows the NASDU framework, and security qualifications run through accredited, SIA-recognised routes — the same standards we hold our own teams to.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a security risk assessment?
A structured review of your people, sites, and operations that identifies threats and vulnerabilities and sets out proportionate, prioritised measures to reduce risk. It's the foundation of any effective security plan.
What training do you provide?
Accredited canine training delivered to the NASDU framework, and security operative training through accredited, SIA-recognised routes — covering handling, welfare, deployment standards, and operational best practice.
What is NASDU?
The National Association of Security Dog Users (NASDU) sets widely recognised training and accreditation standards for security dog handlers and instructors in the UK. Training to the NASDU framework is a mark of competent, welfare-led canine work.
Who is the training for?
In-house security teams, dog handlers, facilities and operations staff, and organisations that want to raise security standards or meet a client or insurer requirement.
