The PerSec Academy & Advisory Group provides the unparalleled professional expertise to empower and prepare the most valued asset…people.
Risk Assessments
A tenet to a safe and secure facility is understanding the dynamics of its structural limitations, operational environment, and technical vulnerabilities, relative to risk and threat resiliency. PerSec Academy & Advisory Group risk assessments evaluate and analyze these dynamics and support clients with detailed and substantive findings for active threat incident avoidance and mitigation. Unlike general security assessments offered by many companies intended for product and technology placement, our evaluations focus, in part, on maximizing value of existing controllable measures, identifying operational gaps, and assessing culture practices. From critical infrastructure facilities to national landmarks, we serve our clients with expansive professional experience and the same sense of duty we held when protecting our nation’s assets.
Tabletop Exercises
PerSec Academy & Advisory Group’s premier tabletop exercises are custom developed and designed to enhance enterprise resiliency for each of our clients. Starting with a comprehensive and detailed client risk analysis, our expert facilitators assist our clients to identify and assess institutional risk factors and capability thresholds for evaluation. Our extensive and global experience in facilitating professional tabletop exercises allows us to leverage our real-world practice and offer insight into directing effective and solution-oriented dialog within a non-stressful and informal environment. From C-Suite leadership to front-line management development, the PerSec Academy & Advisory Group provides our clients with the validation structure and framework for enhancing organizational resiliency.
Micro Functional Workshops
Moving beyond a presentation setting, the PerSec Academy & Advisory Group conducts tailored Micro Functional Workshops. These hands-on workshops are developed and conducted conveniently at and within the client’s location and operational areas. Ideal for practical learning and confidence building, Micro Functional Workshops serve to build synergy in understanding environmental conditions, individual cognition and circumstance processing, coupled with physical applications of individual threat mitigation strategies. From teachers to healthcare professionals to soldiers, the PerSec Academy & Advisory Group provides real solutions for workplace violence mitigation.
Security Guard Response Training
Far too often institutions assume security guards are trained and prepared to effectively respond to a catastrophic incident within their facilities. The reality indicates otherwise. The PerSec Academy & Advisory Group recognizes and understands the dynamic challenges and occupational difficulties private security guards are faced with should a response to an active threat be required. From threat recognition and prompt accurate reporting to executing standard operational procedures, we provide a comprehensive training spectrum, in custom programs, to build and improve practical skill-sets and response effectiveness. PerSec Academy & Advisory Group’s critical incident training expertise will provide the readiness posture necessary for the demands your security guards face today.
