Corporate Security Consulting in Washington, DC
Executive threat assessments, insider threat programs and practical security planning for companies in Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia and Maryland.
Security advice that fits how your company works
Many companies in the capital region have outgrown informal security without ever building a program. Reception manages visitors, IT owns cyber, HR handles difficult terminations, and nobody owns the threat to the chief executive. SCG helps leadership teams close those gaps with advice grounded in real protective and investigative work.
We advise general counsel, people leaders, facilities teams and in-house security across Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia and the Maryland suburbs, and stay engaged to help put recommendations into practice.
Our people bring experience from federal protective and law enforcement service, alongside seasoned corporate security and investigative professionals.

What to expect
A plain report and a plan you can use
An engagement starts with a short scoping conversation and a written outline of what we will review, who we need to speak to and what you will receive. Most assessments involve interviews, a review of documents and incident history, and site visits where relevant.
The output is a written report in plain language, ranked by priority, followed by a debrief with leadership. We do not recommend equipment or staffing for its own sake, and we will say so when an existing arrangement is adequate.

FAQ
Corporate security consulting: common questions
What is an executive threat assessment?
It is a structured review of the risks facing a specific leader or leadership team: who might wish them harm, how exposed they are online and in person, and how well current arrangements address that. The result is a written, prioritized set of recommendations.
How do you approach insider threat without damaging trust?
Good insider threat programs focus on behavior and clear reporting channels, not blanket monitoring. We help design proportionate policies with HR and legal, and investigate specific concerns only when there is reason to.
Can you help with a threatening person or message right now?
Yes. If there is a current concern, say so when you get in touch. We can assess the threat, advise on immediate steps and, where needed, arrange protective coverage.
Do you work alongside our existing security team?
Yes. Many engagements give an in-house team an outside view, specialist assessment or extra capacity rather than replacing it.
Is the work confidential?
Yes. Findings are shared only with the people you designate, and engagements can be structured through counsel where privilege is a consideration.
