Security Design & Consulting

Proactive. Predictive. Customized. We develop options that meet your budgetary requirements and deliver realistic systems. With experts in counterterrorism; cybersecurity; counter theft; and physical, electronic and physical security, we have a team for all your needs.

And because we’re independent consultants – we don’t sell products or devices – our recommendations are always founded on what’s best for our clients. The result? Integrated, layered security solutions that work for you.

The best starting point for security design is a thorough threat vulnerability risk assessment (TVRA). While we believe that uniting the TVRA and security design yields the very best results, we also provide detailed recommendations and designs based on TVRAs performed by others.
