Gordian security consultancy is grounded in the fullest possible knowledge of the specifics of the operational environment, its levels of uncertainty and what is realistically deliverable so that strategic objectives can be delivered with minimal exposure to risk.

We are experienced in adapting to variable levels of support from ‘host’ infrastructures and maximising the application of limited resources. Areas of expertise include:

1.

Political, environmental and socio/economic threat/risk assessments and vulnerability surveys (both personnel and infrastructure based, including ‘critical national infrastructure’ surveys and commercial equivalents).

2.

The development of realistic and deliverable security architecture, based on available resources and assessment of ‘mission critical’ functions, including initial planning and development, ‘build’, and quality assurance.

3.

Organisation of ‘Operational Command Centres’ and formulation of appropriate protocols linked to the realities of the situation on the ground (as described by 1 and 2 above) according to strategic priorities.

4.

Establishment of a resilient and secure communications infrastructure.

5.

Pre-employment vetting (See training – Insider threats)

6.

Situational awareness and pre-deployment advice for personnel and the use of App based geo-location and assistance provision to travellers and employees in mid-level risk environments
