Qualified Security Oversight. Without the Full-Time Hire.
Most regional airports need a security professional but can’t find or afford one full-time. Often, the person responsible for security is also managing operations, and in today’s environment — with rapidly changing threats and evolving regulatory requirements — airports need a dedicated resource.
Our Duty Security Controller service gives you 24/7 access to qualified security expertise, backed by a purpose-built reporting platform — for a fraction of the cost.
The Challenge for Regional Airports
The professional security staff member is a critical function under Australian aviation security regulations. But for regional airports, filling that role is getting harder.
Experienced security professionals are scarce, salaries are rising, and when your security person leaves, your institutional knowledge walks out the door with them.
Relying on a single person creates a single point of failure — for compliance, for incident response, and for your Transport Security Program.
A Proven Model. Modernised for Today
Paradym’s DSC service replaces reliance on one person with a managed, documented security function supported by multiple qualified personnel and regulator-ready systems.
The model was originally designed and implemented by Paradym’s founder for a major Australian airline in 1996. It still operates today, nearly 30 years later. We’ve now adapted that proven concept for the broader airport market, supported by the Paradym Insight platform.
