Effective threat management is not a single action but a disciplined sequence. Each stage builds on the last, turning an initial concern into a clear, defensible course of action.

What we deliver

From building your programme to training your people, testing your response and supporting live cases, four core pillars cover the full threat management lifecycle. 

 

Programme review and development

    Assess an existing programme or build one from the ground up.

  • Maturity assessment tailored to your culture and risk profile.
  • Four core foundational characteristics: effectiveness, defensibility, sustainability and agility.
  • An actionable roadmap, threat management playbook and active assailant response framework.

Training

    Equip your people to recognise, de-escalate and respond.

  • Role-based training for threat management teams, HR, facility leaders and the wider workforce.
  • Core skills — de-escalation, personal safety awareness, active assailant readiness and hostile terminations.
  • Flexible delivery — in-person workshops or virtual/eLearning for hybrid teams.

 

Exercising

    Test and refine your response before a real incident tests it for you.

  • Threat management team exercises: practising the response to a potential threat.
  • Executive and crisis management exercises: rehearsing the response to an actual incident.
  • Customised to your organisation: demonstrating where formal process is needed or refining existing teams.

Threat Management Retainer

    Expert support on call, for the moments that matter most.

  • On-call access to behavioural analysis and threat management experts.
  • Tailored mitigation strategy for each person of concern, insiders and outsiders alike.
  • Sustained engagement as a case develops over time.


Our standard: core foundational characteristics

Every programme we build or review is measured against the benchmarks of a threat management programme that works, holds up to scrutiny and lasts.
