    Threat Assessments

    A threat assessment converts a vague feeling of risk into a documented, defensible picture: who poses a threat, how capable they are, what they would need to succeed, and which controls remove that capability at the lowest cost.

    Threat Assessments — in short

    A threat assessment converts a vague feeling of risk into a documented, defensible picture: who poses a threat, how capable they are, what they would need to succeed, and which controls remove that capability at the lowest cost. Officers hold valid, in-date SIA licences, verifiable on the SIA public register, and are screened to BS 7858 standards. Enquiries are answered 24/7 and, where appropriate, we provide an itemised written quotation following an initial confidential assessment.

    Enquiries answered 24/7 — 020 3488 5714 or WhatsApp. Confidential — an NDA is signed before operational detail is exchanged.

    Risk profile

    What we are actually protecting against

    Spending in the wrong place

    Without an assessment, budget goes to visible measures rather than the ones that actually close the gap.

    Unrecorded escalation

    Nuisance contact becomes a pattern only when it is logged, dated and analysed.

    Compliance exposure

    Employers owe a duty of care; an undocumented decision is difficult to defend after an incident.

    Insurer challenge

    Claims and premiums both benefit from evidence that risk was assessed and managed.

    Scope of cover

    What is included

    • Structured interview with principal, family or management
    • Open-source exposure and digital footprint review
    • Site, route and travel pattern survey
    • Threat actor analysis: intent, capability and access
    • Prioritised, costed recommendations
    • Written report suitable for insurers, legal advisers and boards

    Real-world example

    A listed company asked for close protection for its chief executive after online abuse. The assessment showed the credible risk was at the residence and during predictable school-run movements, not at the office. Reallocating budget to residential hardening and a security driver cost less than the proposed CP detail and closed the actual gap.

    Details altered to protect client identity. No client is ever named.
