TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Even though I suspect Andrew's company works on computer and system security rather than physical security, the basic idea here is excellent. Templates that include adaptable boilerplate along with concept outlines for the various types of reports and assessments, along with reusable blocks of prose, will get the consultants fairly far along the way to a usable document.
It might be worthwhile to have a technical writer with some background in whatever type of security you deal in work with you or the consultants to draft the boilerplate and create the templates and outlines for you.
