About Us
Vision
Our vision is to become the most respected source of objective, independent, interdisciplinary national security expertise in the world.
We will recruit and retain world-class professionals capable of finding solutions to the world's most complex and urgent security challenges. We will provide expertise in all disciplines, including risk management and vulnerability assessments, security system design and engineering, guard force and tactical security operations, technical security and information protection, personnel security, cyber security, intelligence and counterintelligence, security logistics, and security program / project management. Our teams will integrate across disciplines to help customers understand interdependencies in their security programs and cost-effectively mitigate risks.
We will operate worldwide, capable of deploying for both short and longer-term engagements, adapting to changing conditions and evolving customer requirements. We will take time to understand our customers' priorities and deliver solutions tailored accordingly. We will never sacrifice the quality of our service for short-term growth or profit maximization and will always remain deeply committed to our customers' success. We will be a trusted, dependable authority within the national security industry with a reputation for excellence and value.
Achieving this vision requires unwavering commitment to our core Operating Principles and Code of Business Ethics. We all must remember that our individual actions directly impact our collective success and hold each other accountable for behaving in a manner befitting the Company's brand.
