We conduct investigations, oversee activities, mitigate risks, and diagnose security, safety, and communication concerns proactively rather than just provide solutions
Torres illustrates an engagement with a client who employed Guidepost Solutions services after a terrorist incident had occurred at their stadium. The client requested a team with prior experience in federal law enforcement and entertainment venue security to perform an after-action review and determine the security posture of their staff. After an extensive investigation, Guidepost Solutions provided 28 physical and digital security recommendations to improve the existing technology and architecture while also overseeing the implementation of the new security measures. Because of Guidepost Solutions’ swift assessment and proactive project plan, their client resumed event venue operations with a security system better suited to thwart threats and also allowed them to convey a message of safety assurance to the public for future events.
Guidepost Solutions focuses on building quality relationships with clients and is dedicated to exceeding expectations. Torres shares an account of how a large technology company engaged Guidepost Solutions to design their SOC. Torres and his team developed a plan with the client to transition all of their security staff and procedures to a consolidated on-site SOC where all company-wide security operations were managed and deployed from a single location. Driven by the positive experience, Guidepost Solutions remains a trusted partner and continues to collaborate on several other projects with the client.
Guidepost Solutions is currently exploring its options to expand across the U.S. and Latin America while directing its attention toward the healthcare, education, commercial, technology, and justice industries. “We continually evaluate emerging technologies to serve as an established resource for protection, strategic guidance, and leadership for our clients,” concludes Torres.
