Our values explained

• Proactive Forecasting:

Shifting from a reactive mindset "how do we fix this disaster?" to a predictive one "how do we see this coming and prevent it?". It values intelligence gathering, threat modeling, and continuous adaptation over waiting for a breach to occur.

​

• Converged Security:

The practice of breaking down walls between different security sectors. It recognizes that physical safety, cybersecurity, and mental well-being are deeply intertwined—for example, understanding that a digital data breach can directly impact an employee's physical or psychological safety.

​

• Radical Transparency in Duty of Care:

The ethical standard that an organization must be completely honest about the risks its members face, refusing to downplay dangers to protect corporate reputation.

IE: A humanitarian organization operating in a high-risk zone giving field workers full, unvarnished access to daily security intelligence so they can make autonomous decisions about their own safety.

​

• Employee Non-Exploitation:

The belief that an employee's overall health and psychological safety are non-negotiable and cannot be traded for higher productivity.

IE: A company strictly enforcing "right to disconnect" policies after hours, treating an employee's personal time as a protected zone free from workplace intrusion.

​

• Emotional Literacy:

The commitment to identifying, understanding, and expressing emotions constructively. Rather than suppressing feelings to appear "strong," modern resilience treats emotional awareness as a diagnostic tool to prevent burnout, manage stress, and build authentic connections.

IE: Being empathic to reduce conflict, and communicate efficiently to minimize drama. An agent may avoid using further force if they correctly utilize verbal judo.

​

• Trust:

The commitment to establishing and maintaining trust in partnerships is vital to effective security.

IE: We value our reputation that is built on trust, and doing the right thing even if it tarnishes our image. Trust is one of the most important values in the security industry, and why entities come to us.

​

• Skill based training:

We care more about the details and quality of the training versus the piece of paper that it is printed on.

IE: While it is great to have ASIS certifications in Certified Protection Professional, Professional Certified Investigator, Physical Security Professional, and becoming a CPE provider we understand that the client would prefer to not pay $120+/hr for its provider to have every agent deployed to that account to have those certifications, when they could pay less, but still have agents trained to those standards, and this sentiment is coming from an ASIS member/volunteer.
