Integrated Security Consulting

Utilizing an Enterprise Risk approach BCD Associates has designed and implemented Integrated Security programs that create a more effective and efficient control environment to protect employees, buildings, data centers and intellectual property.  We have a proven track record of enhancing safety and security while dramatically reducing costs, simplifying systems and reducing database management.

Advice on Physical Security and Pre-employment Screening.

The basis for all internal security and controls begins with establishing standards for on-boarding, and controlling access, both logical and physical.  Two-factor authentication is seen as quick fix to firms concerned about data security, however if employees are not properly vetted or policies and procedures on physical access are weak, these high tech solutions are rendered useless.  The team has extensive experience in utilizing risk assessment methodology (RAM) to determine threats and vulnerabilities and create risk-based recommendations for security enhancements.  The team is also experienced in developing pre-employment screening programs that ensure you know who you’re hiring.

Phased Approach:

  • Phase 1:  We will assess your current security environment and risk tolerance to develop a phased plan to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Phase 2:  Work with you to execute all phases of the security improvement plan.
  • Phase 3:  Assist you in periodically evaluating your security environment post-implementation and identify continued areas for improvement.
