Receive a comprehensive security review with a Head of Security advisor. We begin with a formal threat risk assessment to identify vulnerabilities, exposures, and operational gaps, then review and update your security programs, plans, policies, and procedures to align with real-world risks.
Head of Security provides a full range of security consulting services for businesses, organizations, and institutions across Chicago and nationwide.
Our consulting team is led by former military, law enforcement, and counterterrorism professionals. Every recommendation is grounded in operational experience, not theory.
We never recommend a security solution before understanding your actual risk landscape. Every consulting engagement begins with a formal threat risk assessment that shapes everything that follows.
Our P.L.A.T.E. assessment framework and P.P.B.T. mitigation framework are purpose-built methodologies developed from real-world security operations, not theoretical models.
All documentation, assessments, and recommendations align with NIST, ISO 31000, and FAIR standards, ensuring your security program meets professional and regulatory expectations.
We do not deliver a report and disappear. Head of Security remains engaged through implementation, monitoring, and reassessment as your organization and threat landscape evolve.
A standard security consulting engagement begins with an intake consultation and a formal threat risk assessment. From there we conduct a detailed review of your security programs, plans, policies, and procedures. We identify gaps, prioritize risks, and deliver an executive summary with actionable recommendations. For larger engagements we also provide project management and implementation oversight.
A security guard company deploys personnel. A security consultant assesses your risk landscape, designs your security program, and advises on the right combination of people, processes, barriers, and technology to address your actual threats. Head of Security does both, which means our consulting recommendations are grounded in operational reality rather than generic best practices.
We work with organizations of all sizes, from small businesses and nonprofits to corporations and government agencies. Every organization faces security risks proportional to its environment, profile, and operations. Our consulting approach scales to your specific situation and budget.
A focused security review for a single location or organization can be completed in one to two weeks. Comprehensive consulting engagements covering multiple locations, complex programs, or full policy development typically run four to eight weeks. Implementation oversight and ongoing advisory are structured as longer-term engagements based on your needs.
