Vulnerability assessment

Introduction of the Security Concept

Conduct a vulnerability assessment aimed at identifying the factors that create hazardous conditions during any adverse event (risks, exposure to security threats, functional loss, etc.).

The world—more specifically, key European economic and scientific actors—currently faces extraordinary and multifaceted security challenges due to the Ukraine-Russia conflict, the activities of Houthi rebels in the Red Sea, and the Israeli-Hamas-Iran tensions (collectively referred to as the Middle Eastern wars). These are complex, multilayered issues that also represent potential emergency situations.

In this transformed security environment, existing national security and corporate/industry-specific defence protocols, whether individually or in coordination, are often unable — or only able with delay— to keep up with the evolving security landscape.

The secondary and tertiary effects of the ongoing armed conflicts can at any moment—and in some cases already have—impact elements of internationally critical companies, services, and the infrastructures that must be protected.

In Europe today, security is still approached reactively in most cases, rather than strategically. Therefore, my goal is to ensure that European pharmaceutical, biotechnological, and chemical companies—along with their associated business sectors and supporting suppliers—receive layered protection across the full spectrum of their operations, given their exposure to hybrid warfare. It is important to note that business investments in strategic sectors are also included under this scope.

Concept: On one hand, this involves implementing comprehensive internal protection procedures and defending against various external activities by adversarial actors. On the other hand, it includes auditing these activities—whether they occur sporadically or within an ongoing symbiotic relationship—and providing recommendations. This may also involve re-evaluating the potential scale of damage that can be inflicted on or through a specific facility or company.

 

The Service We Provide

Target Groups

  • Primary: Senior executives and security directors of consortia or companies with control over strategic investments
  • Secondary: Senior executives and security managers of the relevant industries, regardless of their country of residence. For them, it is particularly important that we broaden the scope of their security-minded approach through the professionalism and dedication we demonstrate throughout the entire course of our work. At the same time, a unified and high-standard security framework would be established to ensure a high level of operational safety for the group’s productivity. Additionally, one of our key objectives is to enhance the effectiveness, adaptability, and responsiveness of these individuals and their roles.
  • Tertiary: Security managers of supplier companies operating within the country or in partnership with international stakeholders.

 

Detailed Activities:

  • Consultation with the senior executives and security directors of participating companies, as well as with the security project leads of supplier firms and the senior management of companies responsible for strategic investments. This includes defining and clarifying the scope of the activities and establishing a constructive, collaborative mindset — all as part of an ongoing engagement
  • Identification and continuous monitoring of threat levels based on pre-defined criteria; detection and potential identification of new threats; reporting to the appropriate professional authorities and coordinating responses accordingly.
  • Initiation and successful execution of preparatory tasks required for implementing a multi-layered protection protocol based on our established security framework. Continuous coordination with the designated individuals and relevant organizations is maintained throughout.

Note: In the case of protecting facility complexes, factories, or operational sites, activities are carried out in constructive cooperation with the internal security staff or private security provider already in place. The objective is in no way to acquire, replace, or interfere with any existing manned security services or personnel structures.

  • Development tasks (creation, refinement, and supplementation of procedures; preparation of readiness and training plans, etc.);
  • Advisory, consultative, and training activities (offering consultations for company security managers; designing, organizing, executing, and evaluating specialized training for security personnel, etc.);
  • Assistance (delegation of qualified experts by us for specific sensitive operations);
  • Liaison and reporting activities directed toward the relevant professional bodies, in accordance with their specified protocols.

Due to the evolving nature of warfare, the field of defence and security must undergo continuous renewal to effectively address emerging challenges. As part of the security services we provide, we reintroduce professional competencies that transcend the structural characteristics of military and police training, while also achieving an analytical alignment of requirements, capabilities, and client-specific needs. The expertise necessary for integration into such specialized systems is extremely rare.

It is critically important to prevent the death, injury, loss of function, or communication failure of individuals in key positions within this strategic segment — and to safeguard facilities from destruction, major operational losses, or damage to assets. Additionally, reputational risks must be mitigated to avoid harm to personal or organizational prestige in the public or media sphere.

As a desired end state, beyond the establishment of consistent standards, we aim to ensure that the individuals identified above acquire the necessary knowledge, preparedness, and procedures during or after our engagement — enabling them to recognize, respond to, and report any suspicious or emergency situations through the appropriate channels.

 

The Benefits and Necessity of Our Application

Current Western trends clearly point towards the expansion of comprehensive security auditing.

  • Even with strict adherence to international legal standards, our approach allows for significant flexibility in working with various companies, organizations, and inter-company structures—streamlining processes and reducing excessive bureaucracy. In some cases, it also offers an alternative (civil) legal framework
  • Our method eliminates internal hierarchical conflicts that can occur between leadership and subordinates or across departments—issues that often cause delays and professional complications.
  • As an external partner, we bring a fresh, independent perspective, enabling a task-specific approach delivered at a consistently high professional standard.

 

The Professionalism We Represent

  • Our team combines real, verified experience from military, law enforcement, and technical-scientific backgrounds with a deeply ingrained security-conscious mindset.
  • We possess the capability to manage both existing and emerging security challenges.
  • Our work is defined by conscientious and reliable execution, strict adherence to deadlines, and a results-driven approach.
  • We demonstrate exceptional perseverance, a high tolerance for monotony under operational pressure, and a strong sense of responsibility for the tasks we undertake.

 

Technological Awareness

Our personnel maintain up-to-date knowledge—at a minimum, at the theoretical level—of current technological tools. We are committed to continuous learning and proactively applying the most advanced technologies available to relevant tasks and mission requirements.

 

Security Suitability

All deployed personnel:

  • Hold valid certificates of good conduct.
  • Possess national security clearance, ensuring full compliance with operational security requirements.
  • Adhere strictly to Operational Security (OPSEC) policies and related internal security directives.

 

Operational Experience

We bring:

  • Multiple decades of cumulative professional experience in the defense, law enforcement, and national security sectors.
  • Active service backgrounds in specialized military, police, or interior ministry units.
  • Deep, hands-on practical knowledge derived from operational roles in high-demand environments.

 

Concluding thoughts

Operating in a dangerous environment, combined with shortages of skilled professionals and expertise, can and does impose significant operational constraints on strategically important sectors. The unique characteristics of the global security landscape are increasingly elevating the importance of the security discipline, and worldwide investments in this field continue to grow steadily.

Delays and a lack of proactive planning in this area tend to have amplified negative consequences when emergencies occur. At that point, there is insufficient time to develop defense plans and implement necessary measures. Mobilizing various resources becomes more difficult and cumbersome, inadvertently giving adversaries an additional advantage.

I firmly believe there is a clear and growing demand for modern, tailored, flexible, and effective security solutions.
