Insights 7 July 2026 2026, So Far By Matt Blake, Managing Director The first six months of 2026 have been busy, rewarding, and full of reasons to be proud at LMS Security Advisors.  As I reflect on the year so far, what stands out most is not just the growth we have experienced as a business, but the people, partnerships, and progress that continue to shape who we are and how we support our clients. From strengthening our certifications and securing new opportunities across critical sectors to investing in future talent and supporting our local communities, there is a great deal to be proud of.  None of this happens by accident. It takes a great team, trusted clients, and strong relationships across the industry, and I’m grateful for the role each has played in our success so far.  7 July 2026 2026, So Far By Matt Blake, Managing Director The first six months of 2026 have been busy, rewarding, and full of reasons to be proud at LMS Security Advisors.  As I reflect on the year so far, what stands out most is not just the growth we have experienced as a business, but the people, partnerships, and progress that continue to shape who we are and how we support our clients. From strengthening our certifications and securing new opportunities across critical sectors to investing in future talent and supporting our local communities, there is a great deal to be proud of.  None of this happens by accident. It takes a great team, trusted clients, and strong relationships across the industry, and I’m grateful for the role each has played in our success so far.  Setting the Benchmark for Excellence Maintaining high standards has always been important to us at LMS.  Earlier this year, we achieved ISO 27001 certification and successfully renewed both our Cyber Essentials Plus and ISO 9001 certifications. While certifications are often viewed as a box-ticking exercise, anyone who has been through the process knows the amount of work, discipline, and attention to detail required behind the scenes.  These achievements are a reflection of the professionalism of our team and their commitment to delivering quality work every day. They also provide reassurance to our clients that the systems, processes, and people supporting their projects meet recognised industry standards.  Protecting Critical Environments One of the most positive developments this year has been the opportunity to expand our work across several important sectors.  We have bolstered our growth through a number of key new contracts, including public health sector, UK Government and Critical National Infrastructure (CNI). These partnerships further strengthen our role in helping safeguard essential services, people, and nationally significant assets through trusted technical security expertise and assurance.  Being trusted to support these environments is something we take seriously. It is a responsibility that comes with high expectations, and one we’re proud to fulfil through the expertise and dedication of our team.  Shaping the Future of Security One of the most enjoyable parts of my role is seeing people grow.  With the industry needing to do more to attract, develop, and retain good people, I am proud of our Leaders in Security (LiS) Programme as an important initiative for LMS.  This year, we welcomed Abigail Clark and Harrison Turner-Robson to the programme. Six months on, both have made a fantastic start. They have embraced every opportunity, asked plenty of questions, and already become valued members of the team and join Jasmine as a potential industry leader of the future. This combined with several of the team developing into more senior roles across the business has seen some great strides for opportunities to advance. Watching that development happen is rewarding, benefiting both LMS whilst also contributing to the future of the profession as a whole. Creating Impact Beyond the Workplace Security is ultimately about people, and that extends beyond the projects we deliver.  Through our Make A Difference (MAD) Days initiative, members of the LMS team have continued supporting causes that strengthen wellbeing, inclusion, and community engagement.  Most recently, this included volunteering through Disability Sport Yorkshire and supporting wider community activities. It is great to see the LMS team engaging with local communities, reinforcing our ambition to create safer spaces across the UK. At the Heart of the Conversation The security profession continues to evolve, and staying engaged with the wider industry has never been more important. Throughout the year, our team has been actively involvedwith organisations and events including Security Is You(th), ASIS, IPSA, UKREiiF, and The Security Event. These opportunities allow us to share knowledge, strengthen relationships, and contribute to important conversations about the future of security, resilience, and talent development.  Looking Ahead When I look back on the first half of 2026, what gives me the greatest confidence for the months ahead is the calibre of the people we have across the business.  I’m fortunate to work alongside a team thatconsistently demonstrates professionalism, expertise, and a genuine desire to do the right thing for our clients. I’d also like to thank our clients and partners for the trust they have placed in us and for the opportunities we have had to work together. There’s plenty still to come this year, and I am looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together over the months ahead.   If you’d like to learn more about the work we do and how we help organisations strengthen security, resilience, and assurance, we’d be delighted to hear from you.

From risk assessments and technical reviews to ongoing advisory support, sensitive information sits at the centre of many client engagements. This certification enabled us to further refine the a framework for identifying, assessing, and managing information-related risks across people, processes, and technology.  “Achieving ISO 27001 is a significant milestone for LMS and reflects the standards we hold ourselves to across every part of the business. I’m incredibly proud of the whole team for the work, focus, and commitment that has gone into achieving this high standard.”— Matt Blake, Managing Director  Working across sectors including hospitality, financial services, commercial environments, data centres, and the public sector, LMS supports organisations operating in complex, high-trust environments. In these settings, safeguarding information is not just important; it’s essential to resilience, trust, and effective decision-making.  This certification reflects the discipline embedded in LMS’s day-to-day operations, from secure information handling and communication practices to maintaining clear audit trails. It provides clients with confidence that their information is managed securely, consistently, and with appropriate oversight. 

Insights 24 March 2026 Quality Assured: LMS Security Renews ISO 9001:2015 Certification LMS Security Advisors has successfully renewed its certification to the internationally recognised ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Standard, reaffirming its commitment to disciplined processes, operational consistency, and accountable delivery. ISO 9001:2015 is a globally recognised standard that examines whether an organisation has reliable, structured, and well-managed processes. It reviews how decisions are made, how information moves through the team, how risks are managed, and how improvements are captured. For an independent Security Technical Advisor, these principles directly influence the quality of advice clients receive. Clear processes and effective oversight ensure that recommendations are carefully considered, documented, and delivered with consistency. This renewal confirms that LMS continues to operate within a disciplined quality management framework aligned with recognised international standards. Operating across sectors including hospitality, financial services, commercial environments, data centers and the public sector, LMS supports organisations facing complex physical and electronic security challenges. In such environments, structured internal processes directly underpin the clarity and reliability of external advice. This certification validates the discipline behind our work as independent Security Technical Advisors. From understanding risk and defining scope to reviewing solutions and conducting thorough audits, each stage of engagement is supported by processes designed to ensure accuracy, transparency, and consistency. It also reinforces independence, ensuring that as the organisation grows, its standards remain steady. Ultimately, the renewal provides our clients with continued assurance: that the advice they receive is delivered professionally, consistently and with the operational maturity required to support critical security decisions and to deliver long-term value.
