What We Provide
You cannot protect against threats you haven't identified. A professional security survey is the essential first step in building a robust, proportionate security programme — yet many organisations have never had one conducted by a truly independent, operationally experienced team.
Shellback Marines brings military-grade analytical discipline to every survey and audit. Our team evaluates your physical infrastructure, access controls, guard procedures, surveillance coverage, and policy frameworks — then produces a clear, prioritised report with actionable recommendations your management can act on immediately.
Independent & Objective
Our survey team has no stake in selling you a particular product or system — our only objective is to give you an accurate, honest picture of your security posture and how to improve it.
Operational Experience Behind Every Finding
Founded by a retired Indian Navy marine, our audit team understands how vulnerabilities are actually exploited in the real world — not just in textbooks — giving our findings genuine practical weight.
Clear Reports. Prioritised Recommendations.
Every survey produces a structured written report with findings rated by risk level and recommendations ranked by priority — so your team knows exactly where to act first and why.

Standalone or Integrated
A security survey can be delivered as a standalone engagement — providing you with a clear, independent assessment of your current security posture. But for many clients, the survey is the starting point of a wider relationship with Shellback Marines as their trusted security partner.
Once vulnerabilities are identified, we can deploy the solutions: physical guards, CCTV systems, access control upgrades, security training, or a fully integrated managed security programme. Working with a single partner from survey to solution eliminates the gap between knowing what's wrong and fixing it.
Where We Survey
Our survey and audit teams are experienced across all major sectors — bringing sector-specific knowledge to every engagement so findings are relevant, practical, and genuinely actionable.
Case Study
A private university in West Bengal with over 4,000 students and staff required an independent security audit ahead of a significant infrastructure expansion. The institution had experienced several incidents of unauthorised access, petty theft, and a serious late-night incident in a car park — but had no independent assessment of their security posture to inform their investment decisions.
Shellback Marines conducted a two-day on-site survey covering all 14 buildings, the external perimeter, four car parks, and all guard posts. We observed guard patrols, tested access control points, assessed CCTV coverage blind spots, and reviewed all security policies and post instructions. The resulting report identified 11 critical findings and 9 recommendations. Following the audit, the university commissioned Shellback Marines to implement six of the priority recommendations, including a CCTV upgrade and revised guard post instructions. No further incidents have been recorded in the 12 months since implementation.
Our Values
Born from real naval service, Shellback Marines applies military-grade analytical rigour to every security survey. We believe honest, independent assessment is the foundation of every effective security programme — and we deliver it without compromise.
