About Us
CONTROL OF YOUR PHYSICAL SECURITY THROUGH THE INDEPENDENT RISK ASSESSMENT
Alwinco was derived from the statement: ALWays IN COntrol and this is what we endeavour to ultimately provide our clients with – control of their security. This, as well as crime prevention, can be achieved through conducting a Security Risk Assessment on your property.
Alwinco is unique in the sense that we are in no way affiliated with any Security Provider, which means we can provide any prospective client with an unbiased, honest and authentic Assessment report.
Our Security plans are also tailor-made to suit the unique security needs of each property.
Alwinco does in-depth research, investigation as well as interviewing for each Security Risk Assessment, ensuring the most effective solutions are provided.
One needs to remember that often, risk can be eliminated by a change in behaviour, routine or awareness, and not necessarily new, expensive security equipment.
A Security Risk Assessment places you in a position to tell a security company what YOU want from them, which will be in sync with your risk solution. In other words, you will know what you need to minimise your risk.
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FOUNDER
André Mundell, the founder of Alwinco, started this Independent Consultancy over a dozen years ago when he realised the unfilled niche with regards to crime, the prevention thereof and physical security.
Experience and involvement for over 35 years in the SAPS and the security industry afforded André an unmatched and exclusive opportunity granted to few. He was able to personally examine and investigate thousands of crime scenes. Additionally, he interviewed both the perpetrators and the victims of the crimes.
André formulated the art of ‘reverse crime engineering’ when he realised that he could predict, through the study and extensive comparison of his notes from all the crime scenes he investigated, how a crime could occur. This knowledge and concept further enabled him to advise property owners and managers to actually proactively prevent crime from occurring.
