Risk & Resilience Assessments

In critical temperature-controlled environments, the true test of a system isn’t how it performs under ideal conditions — it’s how it holds up when things go wrong.

Assessments for pharmaceutical cold stores, medical labs, cleanrooms, data centres, and other mission-critical environments. Our assessments go beyond basic servicing or maintenance checks. We look holistically at how your facility is protected

— not just against everyday issues, but against the unexpected.

Why Resilience Matters

When it comes to temperature-controlled environments, even a short disruption can

be catastrophic. Product loss, compliance breaches, failed audits, operational

downtime — the consequences can be immediate and expensive.


A resilience assessment is your opportunity to step back and ask:


  • What could go wrong — and how bad could it be?
  • What systems are in place to detect, respond to or prevent that?
  • Where are the single points of failure?
  • How quickly can we recover from an incident?
  • Are we ready for a power cut, equipment fault, or unexpected audit?
  • Are we relying on people or processes that aren’t being tested?


We help you answer those questions — and, just as importantly, we show you what

to do about them.

What We Assess

Our team brings together engineering expertise, regulatory awareness, and real- world delivery experience to assess:


  • Cooling and refrigeration system resilience (e.g. redundancy, failover, load capacity)
  • Alarm and monitoring integrity (including response procedures and data retention)
  • Power and backup supply arrangements
  • Control system reliability and access management
  • Maintenance history and service practices
  • Temperature mapping vulnerabilities (e.g. hotspots, poor airflow)
  • Physical infrastructure risks (door seals, insulation, access routes)
  • Environmental dependencies (HVAC, external ambient, utilities)
  • Human factors – how reliant the system is on individual knowledge or manual responses
  • Compliance risks in relation to MHRA, GDP, GMP, FDA or ISO standards


We also take into account your specific operational needs — for example, whether you're running 24/7, dealing with valuable or irreplaceable stock, or preparing for future expansion.

Practical, Actionable Reporting

We won’t just leave you with a long list of problems. Our reports are designed to help

you make decisions — quickly and confidently. You'll get:


  • A summary of key risks, prioritised by severity and likelihood
  • Practical recommendations based on engineering best practice
  • Suggested resilience upgrades and investment strategies
  • Advice on SOP improvements and operational controls
  • A roadmap for strengthening weak points over time
  • Optional follow-up support, including project design and delivery


If you’re presenting to a leadership team, preparing a business case, or responding

to audit findings, we can also tailor the format of our reporting to suit internal

governance or compliance frameworks.

Who Should Consider a Resilience Assessment?

We work with:


  • Pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers
  • NHS and private healthcare providers
  • Laboratories, blood banks and vaccine hubs
  • GMP warehouses and logistics centres
  • Data centres and critical infrastructure teams
  • Facilities managers responsible for regulated environments
  • Quality assurance and compliance leads preparing for inspection


Whether you’re managing a single cold room or a multi-site operation, a resilience assessment helps ensure your systems aren’t just working — they’re protected.

Support Beyond the Report

Once the assessment is complete, our team is on hand to support any follow-up action — whether that’s specifying and installing backup systems, upgrading alarms or control panels, providing temperature mapping and requalification, or supporting

staff training.


We’ll help you turn risks into resolved actions, and recommendations into real-world improvements.

Delivered Across the UK and Europe

We carry out risk and resilience assessments across the UK and Western Europe,

and we’re experienced in aligning with local regulations, site requirements, and

corporate quality systems. Whether your operation is national or international, we’ll

deliver assessments that make sense within your wider risk and compliance

framework.
