Most executive protection conversations start with staffing. They should start with a documented picture of how the principal is exposed.
People lose about a third of their higher processing ability during a crisis. These eight questions test whether your safety information survives that.
Joe Heinzen joins host Peter Steinfeld on AlertMedia’s The Employee Safety Podcast to discuss the accessibility gap in incident response and the accidental safety owner.
A home address in an old website registration. A schedule anyone can predict from a posting pattern. Here is where exposure for public figures collects, and what closes it.
The Joint Commission specifies the outcome. It does not specify who performs the work. Here is how an independent assessment produces the evidence surveyors ask for.
Regulators moved the test from having a plan to showing it operates. For hospitals, the gap between written and documented is now the exposure.
Physical security for public figures usually has no owner on the management team. It defaults to whoever happens to answer the phone.
FEMA made $300 million available and the federal window closed July 24. The organizations that win next cycle are documenting their risk now.
The SAFER SKIES Act extended limited drone mitigation authority to state and local law enforcement for the first time. What that means for your site plan.
Smoke from Canadian and western fires is now a recurring Northeast hazard. What AQI thresholds mean for your building, HVAC, and staff, and how to plan before the sky turns orange.
2026 has brought recall after recall while public oversight thins out. Increasingly, the businesses that make, move, and serve food own the response. Here is how to be ready.
Joe Heinzen joins AlertMedia to discuss where AI helps security teams, where it doesn't, and how to tell the difference. Published on AlertMedia.
Roughly $95 million in federal funding is on the table for FY2026. What the program covers, who can apply, and why the risk assessment is the part that wins the award.
In security procurement, the buyer’s hardest problem is telling credible vendors from confident ones. A certification does that work upfront.
Credentials and price do not tell you whether a security vendor’s work holds up. Here is the evidence to ask for, and why independent validation matters.
A faith community is built to welcome strangers, which is what makes it hard to secure. The goal is awareness and response, not a locked door.
Regulations set a floor, and a compliant facility is not the same as a secure one. The gap is rarely the perimeter. It is detection and response.
A continuity plan that has never been exercised is a document, not a capability. Crises rarely match the scenario the plan was written for.
Schools invest in visible security, but the real gaps are in arrival and dismissal, after-hours events, substitute staff, and reunification.
The sharpest risk on the retail floor today is violence, not theft. Confrontation policies written for shoplifting do not protect staff from it.
After hundreds of site walks, these are the physical security gaps that show up again and again, from propped doors to badges that are never deactivated.
Threat environments don't move on an annual schedule. Your security program shouldn't either. The case for continuous resilience over point-in-time audits.
Every post, every tag, every appearance. High-visibility individuals leave behind a pattern that trained threat actors know how to read. Here's what they see.
Most organizations find out during a tabletop that the real gap isn't the plan on paper — it's the assumptions the team didn't know they were making.
Reported incidents represent a fraction of actual workplace violence events in clinical settings. Understanding the gap between data and reality is the first step toward addressing it.
Security certifications vary widely in what they require and what they prove. Here's exactly what the WorldSafe Certified standard measures, and why we built it the way we did.
