Which of the following does not fall within the scope of technical consultancy services rendered by the Central Industrial Security Force?

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) was mandated to provide technical consultancy services to the private and public sectors following the CISF (Amendment) Act, 1999. The scope of these services includes security audits, fire audits, threat perception and risk analysis, and designing integrated security solutions. Specifically, the CISF provides expert advice on access control, perimeter protection, surveillance systems, and communication networks (Option C). It also assists in disaster management and contingency planning (Option B) and addresses industrial security and fire protection problems (Option A).

However, the CISF's role is strictly advisory and consultative. While it provides technical specifications and recommends the type of security equipment required, it does not undertake the actual procurement of security equipment (Option D) for the client establishment. The responsibility for purchasing and installing the recommended equipment lies with the management of the concerned establishment.
