Security and Communication Systems
Your operations rely on secure, reliable systems that can withstand disruption. We help you strengthen your communications environment so that your people, assets and information stay connected and protected.
Building resilience as threats evolve and systems grow more connected.
Organisations are managing rising complexity as new devices, cloud platforms and remote work patterns expand the digital landscape. This pace of change creates vulnerabilities that can interrupt operations and compromise sensitive information. Understanding these pressures helps us design ICT and security solutions that meet your regulatory requirements and support performance across your business.
We apply our experience across many sectors to help you navigate this environment. Our team works with you to shape a security posture that supports your business goals, backed by physical, electronic and cyber systems that reduce risk and support continuity. Our global network brings practical insight to the challenges you encounter, creating pathways to stronger, more resilient systems supported by secure infrastructure.
Resilient communication and ICT solutions
We bring together broadband communications, secure network architecture and infrastructure technologies, and work with you to shape systems that support your goals as your environment evolves. Our team draws on detailed knowledge of current and emerging ICT, security, audiovisual and intelligent building platforms, and we use that insight to create solutions that stay compatible, robust and cost effective through their lifecycle.
As digital ecosystems expand, devices and applications can place new pressure on your infrastructure and introduce gaps that affect performance. We help you navigate that complexity by bringing planning, design, integration and support into one continuous experience, giving you confidence that your operational systems are future-ready.
Internal networks
We design structured cabling and active network solutions that support the systems within your buildings. This includes voice services, data services and building management platforms. We also shape network architectures for audiovisual systems, Wi‑Fi and building security applications. Our approach adapts to suit your operational priorities, whether that’s safety or performance.
External infrastructure
We work with you to identify a technology pathway that aligns with your site conditions and operational goals. This may involve fibre backhaul, point‑to‑point microwave links, next‑generation mobile connectivity or satellite services. Our team designs and documents the supporting infrastructure, such as conduits, pits and external enclosures, so the selected technology can operate reliably across your locations.
Industrial and mission‑critical networks
We support the planning and design of secure networks for utility operations and critical environments. This includes SCADA and industrial control systems, communication systems for aviation and airfields, IoT networks for large‑scale assets and classified communications environments. Each solution reflects the regulatory, safety and operational needs that shape these settings.
Safe and functional systems
We develop radio communication solutions for complex sites, including supporting structures such as towers and protective barriers. We also carry out electromagnetic interference assessments, so your systems operate safely within public exposure requirements and within the technical limits defined for each environment.
Multi-faceted security solutions
We work closely with you to understand your challenges and shape security strategies that support your needs today and into the future. Our team brings a broad mix of skills across physical, digital and operational security. This lets us address compliance requirements, risk pressures and the evolving nature of threats in one integrated view.
Multi-faceted security solutions
We develop relationships with our clients to understand their challenges and find sustainable security solutions to meet current and future needs.
Our wide ranging security skillset allows us to consider and help you address the whole gamut of security concerns, including compliance, risk, physical and cyber challenges.
Our mutli-faceted security approach considers:
Risk Management
We anaylse and understand your business and the threats you face that could impact business continuity. Our detailed risk analysis process will benchmark, find gaps and provide actionable solutions to improve your security posture.
Policy and compliance
An ever-adapting and evolving policy landscape causes challenges in maintaining the appropriate and necessary compliance. Our skills in policy definition, due diligence and process review can provide you with peace of mind that your business is meeting its obligations.
Physical and electronic security measures
We actions your security challenges through an extensive design skillset including CCTV, biometrics, access control, SCEC and fencing / CPTED solutions. Through our integrated Architecture business, GHD Design, we design security into the facility layout to minimise the visual impact to your infrastructure.
Cyber resilience
Our Cyber Risk Centre of Excellence (CoE) combines our consulting services, technology partners and industry specialists to offer you pragmatic capabilities and solutions. We embed Security by Design principles to provide a structured framework for identifying, prioritising, and managing required security controls.
Connected precincts and infrastructure
The consolidation of our technology focused professionals allows us to create truly integrated precincts and infrastructure meeting your bespoke requirements.
Our team have experience in developing precinct technology environments across smart buildings, transport corridors (Intelligent Transport Systems), school and education facilities, airports and airfields, renewable energy precincts and Defence installations. We understand and adapt our design to the specific criticality, resilience and applications of each of these facilities with their unique requirements.
The highly complex and interconnected digital ecosystems that make up the backbone of your communications and networks are increasingly vulnerable to attack due to additional entry points, new technology, and emerging threats from malicious actors.
When you partner with GHD, you can tap into the knowledge of our global team of professionals across many disciplines to tackle the most complex compliance and security challenges you face.
