We provide commonsense security management and technology consulting.

What does "commonsense security" mean?

Commonsense security combines security good sense, financial good sense and security "street smarts" to get the best security results for the limited resources available (time, personnel and money).

That means knowing your risks, understanding the tradeoffs involved for your protection options, optimizing for effectiveness and affordability, and making sure you get the results you should for the money you spend.

It includes knowing things like:

• How a rubber doorstop and a quarter can defeat a million dollar security system, and what to do about it ...
• Why most security projects are way off schedule and how to see that yours won't be ...
• How to figure out what you need and put it in plain English so you can explain it to the Board in the few minutes you'll get ...
• How to cost-justify your security projects ...
• How to have Security and IT talking the same language ...
• What's the most affordable technology that really works like you need it to ...
• How to find security holes they don't list in textbooks, and close them ...
• How to cost-effectively have a system vendor provide some of the services a consultant would normally provide ...

That's not the whole picture, but you get the idea.

What We Can Do For You

For big projects or small projects: 

• We help figure out what you need (security assessment).
• We help figure out how to do it (security planning).
• We determine what technology will support your security objectives (technology evaluation, system design).
• We describe that technology in plain English so there is no question about what you are asking for (system specifications).
• We help you buy it (RFQs, RFPs, proposal evaluation).
• We help you get what you bought (project planning and execution, project oversight).
• We will even help you celebrate your success (award breakfast for project participants).

Maybe you don't need all of those things from us. Maybe you just need one or a few. Maybe you only need a little bit of help because you have lots of security experience. Or maybe you need a bigger hand because your people are already tasked to the max.
