Our wide range of expertise allows us to bring a holistic approach to the rail sector, providing integrated solutions to an industry where only an integrated solution is acceptable

Risk consulting
Understanding risk is vital for every organisation, as it often equates to opportunity. When risks and opportunities are identified and understood strategies can be developed to minimise adversity and maximise value. Risk is an integral part of every organisation and operation. It is about making the best possible decision with the information that is available. It is about understanding not only what might go wrong, but when and why, and what can be done about it. It is about positively differentiating between opportunity and threat.

Risk can be viewed as a continuum, with opportunities for mitigation at any time from conceptualisation of an idea to implementation. Unfortunately, many people treat risk assessment as something to be employed when a problem occurs. For the savy, however, risk assessment is a tool to be used to help address problems before they emerge. Working closely with our clients, 2ETW Consulting Services facilitates the early identification and treatment of commercial, operational and technical risks, helping to develop appropriate risk management strategies and assisting in their implementation.

We believe that the early identification of risks pays dividends in the long run as mitigation measures are invariably less expensive the earlier they are introduced. We aim to build long term relationships and continue to manage residual risk as long as necessary.

Security consulting
We provide a pragmatic and comprehensive service, using a combination of threat and risk assessment techniques, resilience reviews, and security planning to ensure that all aspects of security are considered at an appropriate stage in the design and security policy development in line with international standards. This approach involves the use of a number of specialists in areas such as blast engineering, electronic security systems, control and data centre design, systems integration and information security.

We work closely with our clients to ensure that the acceptable level of risk is understood by all sides and engineer our advice and solutions to achieve that precise level of risk. 2ETW Consulting Services has the skills and experience to offer a comprehensive security consultancy service. Our skills include:

• corporate resilience

• information security

• physical security

• procurement of security services

• resilience

• risk profiling

• security engineering

• security planning

• surveys and audits

• threat and risk assessment
