About Bolster Security Advisory Services
Your Crime Prevention and Security Strategist at home, at work, and in the community.
Bolster Security Advisory Services began with a mission: to help everyday Brisbane residents reclaim a sense of safety in their homes. As concerns about crime rose and confusion about security products grew, founder Ryan Lewis saw a clear gap - people needed expert advice before investing in alarms, cameras, and costly tech.
Originally launched as Bolster Home SAS, our focus was solely on the home. But as demand grew, so did our vision. Businesses, schools, and community groups were seeking the same level of strategic, behaviour-informed guidance. That’s why we re-branded to Bolster Security Advisory Services - a name that better reflects the full scope of who we serve and what we do.
From Home Fronts to Community Strongholds
Security shouldn’t start with sales. At Bolster, it starts with understanding risk. Our recommendations are grounded in criminology, behavioural science, and lived experience, not product mark-ups or one-size-fits-all solutions.
We help you:
Understand your actual security risks
Prioritise what matters most
Avoid unnecessary spending
Make decisions backed by logic, not fear
Why We’re Different
Meet Ryan
Criminologist, Community Advocate, and Security Strategist
Ryan is the driving force behind Bolster Home Security Advisory Services. With years of experience as a Criminologist specialising in Innovative Justice and Criminal Profiling, he brings a unique blend of expertise to home security. His background gives him a distinct edge, especially in understanding criminal behaviour and designing proactive, effective security measures that truly work.
Criminal Profiling isn’t just a skill for Ryan; it’s a lens through which he views every security challenge. By applying his insights into how intruders think and operate, he’s able to pinpoint vulnerabilities in ways that standard security checks often overlook. This means the advice you receive isn’t generic; it’s strategic, tailored-to-you, and grounded in years of practical criminology.
Being a Brisbane local, Ryan also understands the specific security concerns that affect our community. His approach is refreshingly straightforward: he’s here to provide you with realistic, no-nonsense guidance that fits your unique situation. Whether you’re considering a full security overhaul or just need a few key improvements, Ryan’s aim is to help you protect what matters most with advice you can trust and understand.
