The protective security services sub-panel provides holistic protective security policies and guidance for agencies, with a risk-based perspective. This sub-panel is part of the broader All-of-Government Consultancy services contract.
Providers appointed to this sub-panel offer a range of services to help agencies better manage business risks and assure continuity of service delivery.
Some providers are specialised in a particular area or function of protective security, such as InfoSec or audit.
Providers follow the Government’s Protective Security Requirements (PSR) guidance.

Providers may be able to provide one or more of the following services for IT environments:
Independent and technical quality assurance is covered more specifically under the Government Chief Digital Officer (GCDO) Assurance Services panel.
Security for physical environments, like security guards or secure doors, is not covered.
Security systems, access control systems, and locksmiths are covered by the All-of-Government Facilities Management contract.
The protective security services sub-panel is part of the ‘Operations management and risk’ sub-category under the All-of-Government Consultancy services contract.
Once your agency or school has joined the Consultancy services contract, you will also be able to engage providers on the Protective security services sub-panel.
Browse the Consultancy services providers page for providers that meet your requirements and engage them with a Consultancy Services Order (CSO).
The process is the same as using the Consultancy services contract.
Using the Consultancy services contract
Agencies should do due diligence to make sure they’re choosing a vendor with the appropriate qualifications, skills, and experience to meet their protective security requirements.
Eligible agencies and schools who join the All-of-Government Consultancy services contract will have access to the Protective security services sub-panel by default.
