Ubique provided a professional security consultant to deliver a thorough evaluation of both locations, ensuring vulnerabilities were identified and clear, actionable recommendations were produced to enhance the overall security environment.

The analysis was designed to give the client a clear, evidence‑based understanding of their current security posture and a roadmap for strengthening resilience
Ubique delivered an independent and focused assessment by engaging early with key stakeholders to understand operational needs and gather essential documentation. Our SME coordinated site access, conducted detailed visits at both locations, and evaluated the effectiveness of existing physical controls. Ongoing dialogue with client representatives ensured findings were accurate and fully informed. Following the assessment, Ubique produced a high‑level security risk analysis report for each building, outlining identified vulnerabilities and providing clear, proportionate recommendations. Each report included a structured risk management process to help action owners prioritise improvements and strengthen the overall security posture.
Ubique’s independent assessment gave the auction house a clear and objective understanding of the security posture at both locations. The final reports highlighted key vulnerabilities and provided proportionate, practical recommendations to strengthen protection of people and high‑value assets.
