This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to assess the security needs of clients and provide documented advice on security systems that employ advanced technologies including biometrics, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, smart technologies and video integration. It includes conducting research to maintain knowledge of existing and emerging security technologies, assessing risks associated with the client’s specific circumstances and operating environment, and evaluating client satisfaction to improve service provision.

This unit is suitable for those using specialised knowledge to complete routine and non-routine tasks and using their own judgement to deal with predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems.

This unit may form part of the licensing requirements for people engaged in security risk management in those states and territories where these are regulated activities.
