Threat assessment is the most critical component of any protective security program. Almost all protective programs pay lip service to threat assessment, yet it remains the primary reason for most failures in this realm. Accurately assessing and managing vulnerabilities before they have a chance to manifest themselves as hazards and incidents must be at the core of any competent protection.
Without this understanding, no amount of resources thrown at a problem can protect the person or asset in question. Threat assessment is thus intricately linked to the precise and accurate definition of the problem. Without accurate problem definition, it is self-evident that the solution would be misguided or mismatched.
At PSA, we use two essential resources to arrive at reliable threat assessment:
- Our Methodology: Best practices to help us accurately define the problem feature a plethora of tools from country risk assessments to facility and event vulnerabilities by type, specialized behavioral science to decipher criminal and conflict behavior to human intelligence gathering to databases containing known threats and their historical outcomes. All these tools are harvested by our proprietary methodology, arriving at a scientific and fact-based threat assessment in order to develop the most effective protective program for you.
- Past Experience: Collectively, our assessors have literally seen it all. An interdisciplinary team of seasoned federal and state investigators to front-line tactical operators, career intelligence agents to heads or corporate security and technical experts, we are able to zero in on your needs with brass-tacks practicality.
