The Critical Difference™
For organizations primarily concerned about violence originating from current and former employees, CIS provides a range of services focused on workplace violence prevention and intervention. In other situations, where the primary threat concerns are outsider adversaries (e.g., terrorists, etc.), our activities often focus on facility security design and emergency preparation.
And to address the needs of organizations seeking a comprehensive solution for managing workplace violence risk, CIS developed the Guardian SafeWorkplace Program™ as an integrated and multi-layered strategy for protection against targeted violence.
Although the risk management principles underlying our methodology are universal, the solutions provided by our team are always customized to address the unique priorities and operational concerns of our clients.
Our experts assist clients in developing Workplace Violence Prevention programs which reduce risk of violence while attending important matters essential for business success.
CIS provides expert assistance to employers in assessing potential threat situations and navigating complex and sensitive decisions essential to managing risks of violence.
Our subject experts have instructed thousands of client employees in workplace threat awareness and response to active shooter violence through private training sessions.
Our security consultants are recognized worldwide for their expertise in assessing and improving physical security and facility preparedness for acts of armed violence.
Over the past three decades, CIS executive protection specialists have ensured the safety of hundreds of protectees including corporate executives, attorneys, wealthy families, celebrities, media personalities, politicians, presidential candidates, and civil rights leaders.
Our investigators assist employers in monitoring the behavior of stalkers and menacing employees during the dangerous and uncertain period following hostile terminations.
After years of assisting clients in improving their readiness for active shooter violence, CIS launched the Guardian SafeWorkplace Program™ in 2015 as a comprehensive strategy for protection against mass homicide in workplace settings.
The Guardian SafeWorkplace Program™ is an integrated workplace violence risk management program employing a multi-layered approach for controlling risks of violence by reducing both the Probability and Criticality of attack events.
