What does a security consultant do?
A security consultant evaluates your current security measures, identifies vulnerabilities, analyzes threats, and designs a customized security program to protect your people, property, and operations. This includes assessments, planning, training, and ongoing advisory support.
Why should I hire an independent security consultant instead of a guard company?
Independent consultants do not sell equipment or guard services, so their recommendations are unbiased. ASI Security Consultants Chicago provides solutions based solely on your operational needs, not on product sales or vendor relationships.
What types of organizations do you work with?
We work with government agencies, military facilities, schools, universities, hospitals, banks, retail stores, commercial buildings, residential properties, and private clients throughout Chicago and beyond.
How do you determine my security needs?
We begin with a comprehensive risk and vulnerability assessment following ANSI/ASIS standards. This includes on‑site surveys, crime analysis, evaluation of current security measures, and a review of policies, procedures, and personnel.
What is included in a security assessment?
A security assessment includes evaluating physical security, access control, surveillance systems, lighting, staffing, emergency procedures, workplace violence risks, and overall exposure to threats. We then provide a detailed plan to reduce vulnerabilities.
Do you offer workplace violence and active shooter training?
Yes. We provide active shooter courses, workplace violence prevention training, and security assessments designed to reduce the potential for violent incidents and improve employee preparedness.
Can you help reduce my company’s security costs?
Yes. Many clients hire us to identify inefficiencies, eliminate unnecessary expenses, and design cost‑effective security programs. Our recommendations often reduce shrinkage, vandalism, insurance premiums, and legal exposure.
Do you provide managed security services?
Yes. We offer ongoing oversight and support to help monitor threats, maintain compliance, and ensure your security systems continue to operate effectively. We function as an extension of your security staff.
Are your consultants experienced?
Our team consists of highly trained, experienced professionals with backgrounds in law enforcement, military operations, and corporate security. They bring decades of real‑world expertise to every assignment.
How confidential are your services?
All investigations, assessments, and consultations are conducted with strict confidentiality. We protect your privacy and comply with all federal and state security and privacy laws.
How quickly can you begin a security assessment?
We offer a free initial consultation and can begin most assessments immediately. After reviewing your needs, we schedule on‑site evaluations and begin the analysis process without delay.
What are the risks of not hiring a security consultant?
Organizations without proper security planning face increased product loss, vandalism, higher insurance premiums, legal fees, workplace safety issues, and reduced managerial productivity. The cost of inaction is often far greater than the cost of prevention.
Do you design security programs from scratch?
Yes. We create customized security programs based on your operations, facility layout, risk level, and industry requirements. We also improve and modernize existing programs.
Do you work with architects and contractors?
Yes. We collaborate directly with owners, architects, general contractors, and property management companies to design and implement effective security systems during construction or renovation.
