The Problem

Most small and medium-sized organizations and many families face the same risks as large institutions: theft, fraud, threats, and emergencies. Few have access to professional security advice or a full-time security director. That leaves owners, administrators, and families making security decisions alone, or putting them off until something goes wrong.

Security Director on Demand

Security Director on Demand, which can also be referred to as a fractional security director, gives you direct access to an experienced security leader when you need one, without the salary and overhead of an employee. You get one person who knows your organization, answers your questions, and helps you decide what to do when something happens.

Security Director on Demand is also available to families and individuals.

Not ready for an ongoing arrangement? Every service below is also available on its own, as a single project.

Available Services

Services can be hired individually or as part of a Security Director on Demand contract.

Assess and plan

Physical Security Audits

A review of your space, your procedures, and your high-risk areas, such as cash, high-value inventory, and sensitive information, followed by a written report of what to fix first, recommendations on how to fix each issue, and a proposed plan for implementation. Audits can also include security penetration testing, assessment of current security arrangements, and audits of any security contracts or vendors.

Emergency Procedures

An audit of your current plans, new procedures where needed, and staff training and drills for critical incidents such as Active Threat Response (commonly referred to as active shooter or armed intruder training), medical emergencies, fire, lockdown, evacuation, severe weather, and missing children.

Threat Assessment and Management

I assess and investigate threats and harassment, develop risk assessments, then help you manage and reduce the risk through a threat mitigation plan.

Travel Security

Destination-specific briefings that assess local risks for international travelers and set out practical measures to reduce them. I can also provide guidance in selecting a destination that balances risks versus mission and identify resources available once you arrive.

Investigate

Private Investigations

Investigations of financial fraud, theft, organized retail crime, inventory loss, harassment, threats, stalking, drug diversion, injuries, and misconduct. Houses of worship use these services for lost donations, and families use them for scams, identity theft, missing property, and online harassment.

Background Investigations

Pre-employment and pre-volunteer background checks matched to the risk level of the position, executive investigations and vetting of people running for office, and due diligence on vendors and potential business partners.

Skip Tracing and Missing Persons

Locating people to recover money or property, and helping families and attorneys find people who are missing.

Train

Training for Your Team

Training proposals come with my audit reports and emergency plans, and I offer annual or as-needed sessions for your team.
