Threat Assessment and Management

“If we choose to ignore today’s concerns, we will be forced to face tomorrow’s crisis.”

Mr. Coursen has assessed and managed hundreds of cases involving threats, stalking, blackmail, harassment, and public figure pursuit — and he has developed specific management plans for bringing theses concerns to their most favorable resolution. He has a proven track record of success in the private sector working with all levels of fortune 500 companies, and he regularly works with law enforcement, district attorney offices, and victim advocacy groups to help ensure the successful prosecution of criminal cases.



PHYSICAL SECURITY ASSESSMENTS | RED TEAMS

“It’s not what you don’t know that will get you into trouble, it’s what you know for certain, that just isn’t so.”

If you really want to know just how secure you really are, a security audit is the most effective way to find out just how well your physical, cyber, and personal protection safeguards would stand-up to a real-world threat.


IRS 132 Compliance Assessment

“If you have an executive protection program, you should know about IRS Code 132.”

Compliance with Code 132 can help protect your organization and executives from excessive tax liability related to protective security costs. Reduce your exposure and off-set the costs of a personal protection program by engaging Coursen Security Group to conduct an I.R.S. § 1.132-5 security assessment.

ONLINE REPUTATION MANAGEMENT

This service involves the monitoring and management of online content as it relates to the reputation of a brand, an individual, or an organization as influenced by search engine results. While our efforts are primarily geared toward those results which rank higher due to their popularity on social media, business blogs, celebrity gossip, and non-traditional news sites, our aperture can also be focused on those websites which often serve as clearing houses for data-mining open-source content like background check, real estate, and class-mate finder type searches. A significant amount of effort with this service involves the deletion and suppression of unfavorable search results, while highlighting and promoting the more favorable findings.
