Independent

No affiliation with security manufacturers, vendors, or contractors. Our recommendations serve only the client.

Data Driven

Decisions are grounded in crime data, peer-reviewed research, and field-tested benchmarks — not assumptions.

Bottom-Line Value

We translate security spend into measurable risk reduction and demonstrate worth to those holding the budget.

About

A consulting practice built on research, not sales.

Founded in 1997, Threat Analysis Group, LLC has worked with property owners, operators, in-house security teams, and legal counsel to assess risk, design countermeasures, and defend decisions when those decisions are challenged.

We don't sell equipment, install systems, or earn commissions. That independence lets us recommend what the evidence actually supports — and lets clients trust that the answer wasn't shaped by a quota.

Services

Four practice areas, one common thread: defensible decisions.

Whether the question is how much to spend, where to deploy officers, what technology to buy, or whether the program meets the standard of care, our work follows the same evidence-based discipline.

01

Security Metrics

Measure what matters. We quantify program performance and demonstrate return on security investment using crime analysis, benchmarking, and validated KPIs.

  • Return on investment analysis
  • Crime analysis & pattern detection
  • Industry & peer benchmarking
02

Risk Management

Identify what can go wrong, how likely it is, and what it would cost. We model threats and vulnerabilities so risk is measured, prioritized, and addressed deliberately.

  • Threat & vulnerability assessments
  • Security risk modeling
  • Liability & foreseeability analysis
03

Security Operations

Programs only succeed when they're staffed, documented, and run well. We help build the policies, post orders, and contracts that turn intent into consistent execution.

  • Policy & post-order development
  • Security force optimization
  • Contract & bid development
04

Security Technology

Specify the right systems for the actual risk — not the catalog. We design vendor-neutral access control, video, alarm, and communications systems and write the documents that hold integrators accountable.

  • Access control & alarm systems
  • Video management systems
  • Communications systems
Forensic Security

Litigation support and expert testimony grounded in research.

Negligent security cases turn on what a reasonable operator should have known and done. We assist plaintiff and defense counsel with foreseeability analysis, standard-of-care evaluation, and clear, defensible expert testimony rooted in published research and crime data.
