Security Consulting Services

We have conducted nearly 1000 Assessments! Our assessment process is among the most scientific, practical, usable, and comprehensive in the industry. Assessments conducted by Minieri Associates International Security Consultants are performed by highly experienced and qulaified consultants CERTIFIED in Sandia National Laboratories' Risk Assessment Methodology (RAM). A U.S. DHS study reported that Sandia's RAM is the ONLY methodology containing all 10 of the needed criteria established by the expert study group. We analyzed dozens of popular methodologies and found many serious deficiencies.  Using RAM as the foundation, we have incorporated the BEST ELEMENTS of each into our unique THREAT-BASED protocol, the "Minieri Associates Security Assessment Methodology" (MASAM®). We describe each type of potential adversary and each type of possible attack scenario facing your facility then analyze the cross-matrix combinations. Our highly acclaimed reporting format includes detailed FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS and RECOMMENDATIONS for each issue we identify and features a summary of essential security concepts that provide even non-securiity executives a easily understood baseline for effective security against which they may compare the findings of the Assessment.

Minieri Associates International Security Consultants is one of relatively few security consulting firms with both "soft skills" (non-technical) and full scope design & engineering capabilities - using AutoCAD - "in-house". We can start from a "clean sheet" and take your project beyond 100% testing, final commissioning and owner acceptance. Our speciality is FULLY INTEGRATED  systems and centralized systems through enterprise networks. Most importantly, we treat technology as an integral element of your overall security program. Components are incorporated on a "threat/risk" basis with a clear security objective as the foundation. We address all physical security elements - both dynamic and static - including access control, CCTV, detection, lighting, signage, barriers, communications, vehicular & pedestrian traffic flow, building placement, orientation and proximities, vehicle, pedestrian, cargo, package and mail search screening and much, much more!

The most common mistake in security planning is to start by "FINDING" places to post guards and then "make work" for them to do at that location (also common with CCTV cameras!). Minieri Associates International Security Consultants recommends security personnel staffing based on pre-determined client security objectives. We treat guard programs (part of Operational Security) as the third key element along with Architectural Security and Technological Security. Our work addresses ALL security personnel at all levels of the organization be they "proprietary" (aka "in-house") or contracted. Minieri Associates International Security Consultants develops comprehensive and detailed programs covering every aspect of deployment and considers "normal" daily operations as well as staffing needs under emergency conditions..
