The tools are designed primarily for sites across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire — our core service area. Some tools (such as the Local Risk Snapshot) are postcode-specific.
Each tool links to relevant next steps. For example, after a Security Review you can move into the Guarding Estimator or Cost Planner. After estimating costs you can compare models with the Security Comparator. The tools are designed to be used in sequence.
