How current is the risk picture you’re staking your reputation on, right now?

The risk you signed off on was real. Has it evolved? Threats in this region don’t sit still, and the plan that was right when it was written may already be wrong.

Jake Phillips

Founder

Ever felt like you needed another version of yourself, not another security company? Someone who understands the risk because he’s stood on the ground knee deep in it, not just read a report.

Someone who understands the pressure because he’s sat in the boardroom, called on to explain what the plan hadn’t accounted for…

Jake Phillips spent 30 years being the person responsible for getting this right. Now he does it for you.

It’s not your judgement that’s the problem, it’s your (busy) diary.

You could build the risk register yourself. You could assess the hotel, walk the route, review the perimeter, you know how.

What you don’t have is the time to gather enough information to guarantee the decisions you make are correct or the time to build the reports, plans, and registers that prove it.

So you’re left with a choice: spend hours you don’t have doing it properly yourself, or hand it to someone else.

And handing it over comes with its own nagging worry; you often don’t actually know who wrote what lands on your desk.

A name on the cover page doesn’t tell you whether the work was done by someone who’s stood on that ground, or by someone several layers removed from it, working from search results and a template.

Jake has spent thirty years putting his own name on the line in these areas.
