Head of Security is a Chicago-based security risk management consulting firm using behavioral science and protective intelligence to deliver security guard services, executive protection, threat risk assessments, HASARD training, and cyber protection for businesses, organizations, and individuals across Chicago and beyond.
Head of Security is a Chicago-based security risk management firm founded by Kurt Cooper, a former Marine Corps infantryman and seasoned private security contractor. Since 2012, we have grown from a security training provider into a centralized hub for security services and solutions.
We use behavioral science and protective intelligence to help people, organizations, and communities understand their risks, strengthen their security posture, and build real-world readiness, before threats become incidents.
Every engagement begins with an intake and initial consultation, followed by a formal threat risk assessment. From there, we deliver tailored solutions across training, consulting, physical security services, and cyber protection.
Every Head of Security engagement follows a disciplined five-phase process, from intake through ongoing advisory, ensuring nothing is left to chance.
Head of Security is led by former military, law enforcement, and counterterrorism professionals. Our leadership doesn't consult on security from a distance, they've operated in it.
This is why our clients trust us with their most sensitive security challenges. Every recommendation is grounded in real experience, not theory.
Every engagement begins with an intake and initial consultation, no obligation, no pressure. We'll help you understand your risk before we recommend a single solution.
