Protective Security
Advisory in Canberra
Canberra's project landscape is shaped by the Protective Security Policy Framework, SCEC requirements, and the concentration of nationally significant assets. Core42 delivers PSPF-aligned advisory for government, defence, and diplomatic facilities across the Australian Capital Territory.
Why Canberra projects need a SCEC Endorsed security consultant
Canberra's built environment is defined by federal government requirements, defence estates, the diplomatic precinct, NCA design standards, and a light rail expansion programme. Projects in the ACT operate under the Protective Security Policy Framework and frequently require SCEC-endorsed security zone consulting. Architects, planners, and project managers working on government, defence, and institutional projects need security advisory that satisfies these frameworks while integrating into design programmes.
Core42 holds SCEC Endorsed Consultant status and delivers protective security advisory that aligns with PSPF requirements from early project stages. We work with government departments, defence contractors, and architecture practices on facilities where security classification, access control zoning, and physical protection are fundamental to the design brief.
What we deliver for Canberra projects
Security Risk & Threat Analysis
PSPF-aligned threat assessment for government offices, defence estates, and diplomatic facilities. Risk positions mapped to specific PSPF requirements, with treatment options assessed for proportionality and documented for audit — not generic risk reports that require translation.

Evidence-based CPTED analysis for Canberra's light rail corridors, NCA-governed public realm, and mixed-use precincts. Spatial design parameters that satisfy NCA design standards while addressing the specific movement patterns and access requirements of the national capital.
Learn more →Protective Design
Blast protection, vehicle security barriers, and physical hardening measures for government and diplomatic facilities. PSPF-aligned specifications that satisfy Commonwealth requirements while respecting the national capital's architectural and landscape character.
Learn more →Systems & Assurance
SCEC security zone consulting, requirements tracking, and design verification for government and defence programmes. Zone boundary specifications, access control configurations, and emanation security measures traceable from risk assessment to verified construction.
Learn more →Design & Management
Electronic security design, access control zoning, and intruder detection systems for classified and sensitive facilities. Specifications written so that systems integrators can deliver without ambiguity and outcomes can be verified against documented performance criteria.
