Forward Deployed Engineering
Engineers embedded at your site — building the tools, workflows and integrations that turn physical security from policy into practice.
Close the gap
between policy and practice
Most organisations invest in guarding, CCTV and access control — then discover their teams cannot use those systems effectively under pressure. Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) closes that gap: our engineers embed at your site to build, integrate and iterate the operational layer that makes physical security work in the real world.
Not cyber consulting
We stay firmly in the physical security lane. FDE is about operations tooling, system integration and workflow design for manned security teams — not red teaming, penetration testing or generic software projects. Our engineers work alongside your SIA-licensed and in-house staff to deliver solutions that survive contact with real incidents.
Tools and systems
your teams actually use
Every site is different. We co-design with your guarding teams, facilities staff and security managers — then ship iteratively, measuring outcomes against drill performance rather than slide decks.
Operations Dashboards
Drill history, vulnerability trends and ACS-ready evidence in one secure view — so compliance is continuous, not a scramble before an audit.
System Integration
CCTV, access control, radio logging and incident reporting wired into workflows guarding teams can follow under pressure — not siloed systems that fail when it matters.
Assignment & Escalation Design
Clear assignment instructions, escalation paths and handover protocols — co-written with the people who will execute them, not imposed from a distance.
Feedback Loops
Improvements shipped from SDaaS drill findings and investigation outcomes — so every test and every incident makes your operations stronger, not just your paperwork.
On-site,
iterative, accountable
Unlike a vendor who installs and leaves, FDE engineers stay embedded at your site — observing how teams work, shipping improvements in short cycles, and measuring results against real drill outcomes.
Co-Design
We start by understanding how your manned security layer actually operates — patrols, handovers, incident response — before proposing any technical change.
Iterative Delivery
Small, testable improvements shipped regularly. We validate each change against SDaaS drill performance, not assumptions made in a remote office.
Single Point of Contact
You retain one accountable relationship with Get Secure. Where specialist integration partners are needed, we coordinate behind the scenes — you deal with us.
Part of a
complete security model
FDE does not exist in isolation. It is the implementation arm that turns insights from our other services into lasting operational change.
Validate, investigate, implement
SDaaS continuously tests how your people and procedures perform under pressure — surfacing gaps that need fixing. Investigations reconstruct what went wrong when something has already happened — giving you a clear evidence base for change. Forward Deployed Engineering takes those findings and builds the tools, workflows and integrations that close the loop — so improvements stick, not just get documented.
Many clients start with SDaaS to establish a baseline, then bring in FDE when drill reports reveal systemic gaps in tooling or process. Others engage FDE after an investigation to implement the recommendations — without the usual gap between report and action.

security operations
work in practice?
If your guarding teams have the kit but not the workflows, or your drill reports keep flagging the same systemic gaps, FDE may be the missing piece.
