The demand for production sites for the security and defense industries is growing rapidly. In the future, real estate must not only be economically viable, but must also meet high security standards and fulfill dual-use criteria for flexible conversion. However, it is often unclear whether buildings and sites already meet these requirements or what adjustments would be necessary. Without transparency about the actual security and utilization potential, there is a risk of losing important opportunities in a growing market. The key question is: Is a location already prepared for new customer requirements or do investments still need to be made in buildings and technology?
The key is to find the right level of security for each property. Too much security costs, hinders and makes you inflexible; too little can mean the knockout. Our trust level potential analysis - we call it trust level matching - aims to establish an appropriate level of protection between the current threat situation and the required security. With our tried-and-tested digital tool SESAAM (SEcurity SAfety Asset Management), we can quickly and efficiently record the structural and technical security status of your property portfolio. On this basis, we show you the safety level to which your properties can be upgraded and what this would mean in terms of investment. You receive a transparent overview of the current security level of your portfolio and which trust level is appropriate for your objectives. In comparison with the requirements of the security and defense industry, potential opportunities for using your properties can be reliably identified.
We also take a holistic view of your properties in terms of dual-use capability. For example, we also examine potential civilian uses for future industries and other technologies in order to make your portfolio fit for the future. Actively approaching potential tenants, users, investors or operators from the defense sector rounds off our range of services. In this way, we create trust in a methodical approach that combines technical depth with practical recommendations for action.
Defence & Security Ready gives you a new USP and a clear competitive edge in the market. You position your portfolio as highly secure and versatile - characteristics that are particularly in demand in the security and defense industry. This enables you to stand out clearly from the competition.
You can target new customer segments. Thanks to increased security levels and dual-use capability, your properties will be attractive to companies in the defense industry and related future industries. In this way, you can systematically expand your tenant and investor base to include security-related sectors.
Our analysis gives you certainty about your current and future marketing potential. You know exactly where your real estate portfolio stands in terms of security and what development potential is available. This transparency creates the basis for well-founded decisions and forward-looking investment planning.
You decide individually how many steps you want to take together with us. Whether an initial potential assessment is enough for you, or you want to optimize your portfolio to the point of holistic planning and consulting and respond to the identified challenges. The individual steps build on each other, but offer you an overview of results and clear added value after each module is completed.
In a short initial check, we determine the status quo of your property with regard to security and dual-use capability. Through a structured situation analysis including an initial trust level threat assessment and a SESAAM check of the property (steps 1-3), you will quickly receive an expert assessment. As a result, you will know whether the location is fundamentally suitable or whether major structural or technical investments would be necessary.
Based on the quick check, we define the target level together: what security trust level should your property achieve in order to attract the desired users? We analyze the specific threat situation and requirements of the targeted sectors and derive the appropriate security target from this. This clear target image serves as a guideline for all further steps.
We now carry out a detailed inventory analysis. With the help of our digital SESAAM tool, we assess the current state of your building in terms of structural, technical, organizational, and personnel security features. All relevant security aspects—from access controls and technology to emergency concepts—are recorded and mapped in a trust level status. This allows us to identify precisely which areas of your property are already well positioned and where there are gaps. We then match the current status with the target trust level in order to clearly identify deviations and areas where action is needed.
Based on the analysis, we develop action scenarios to close the identified security gaps and establish dual-use capability. We show you several implementation scenarios - including the necessary structural/technical upgrades and a rough cost estimate. Together, we make a conceptual decision for the scenario that best suits your goals, budget and time frame. This target concept forms the basis for the final roadmap.
Finally, we draw up a roadmap for implementation. In it, we define the planning steps, priorities and timetable for realizing the selected concept. The roadmap also includes recommendations for attracting tenants and approaching users from the defense industry - after all, your location should be visibly positioned in the market. If you wish, we can continue to support you during this phase, right through to the successful commissioning or letting of your Defense & Security Ready property.
