Human Insight. Real-World Security.
Independent security consultancy and frontline security capability for organisations across Scotland and the UK. One adviser throughout, from the first site visit to the officer on the door.
Talk to 504Advice and delivery, under one roof.
Most security firms do one or the other. We do both, so the person who assesses your risk is the person whose team delivers on the ground. Start with whichever question is most pressing.
Protective security consultancy
Venue reviews, threat and vulnerability assessments, terrorism risk assessments and board-level risk governance.

Tier assessment, gap analysis, the statutory procedures written for your premises, and testing them with the people who would use them.

Discuss event or venue securityFour reasons clients choose us.
Independent
No hardware sales, no reseller agreements, no commission. The recommendation is the one we believe, not the one that pays.
Experienced
Over twenty years in the security industry and the prison service. Advice tested in live environments, not drawn from a manual.
Integrated
Assessment, planning and frontline delivery connected. The officers on your door have read the plan because we wrote it.
Practical
Recommendations proportionate to your actual risk, written to be acted on rather than filed.
Most people's experience of the security industry is being sold something. A product, a contract, a number of guarding hours, then handed on to whoever picks up the account next.
504 was set up to work the other way round. Graeme Young has spent over twenty years in the security industry and the prison service, specialising in intelligence, protective security and advanced behavioural detection. 504 brings those disciplines together in one place. One relationship, one adviser doing the work, and advice that is not for sale to anyone else.
Five steps, and you can stop at any of them.
- A conversation. Fifteen minutes on the phone establishes whether there is a job here and what it looks like.
- A site visit. No obligation and no charge. Seeing the premises is the only way to give an opinion worth having.
- Findings on the day. You get the headline picture before we leave, not three weeks later.
- Written recommendations. Prioritised, plain English, short enough that your board will read it.
- Support or delivery. Implementation, training, exercising or frontline deployment, if you want it. If you don't, the engagement ends there and that is a legitimate outcome.
