Personal Security Assessment
The smartest first move in personal security isn't hiring protection — it's understanding your exposure. One confidential engagement, one clear picture, one prioritized plan.
Why It Exists
Built for people at the start of the curve
Most security firms want to sell you a program. We built the assessment because founders kept asking us the same honest question: “Do I actually need any of this?”
The assessment answers it with evidence. We look at your life the way someone targeting it would — what's findable about you online, how predictable your routines are, how your home actually performs, what your travel and event patterns expose — then we tell you plainly what matters and what doesn't.
The deliverable is yours. Many clients implement most of it themselves. There is no obligation to hire us afterward, and we'll tell you if you don't need to.
What we review
- Digital footprint. What a motivated stranger can learn about you, your family, and your assets in an afternoon — property records, social media, data brokers, press.
- Home & property. A walk-through of your residence(s): approaches, sightlines, technology, staff practices, and how it all performs after dark.
- Routines & travel. Predictability in your calendar — school runs, gym, office, airports — and where it creates exposure.
- Family & household. Age-appropriate awareness for kids, guidance for partners and household staff, without alarming anyone.
- Events & visibility. How your hosting, speaking, and press cadence shapes your profile — especially in a town as social as Austin.
The Process
Two weeks, four steps, zero drama
Confidential intake
A private conversation about your situation, concerns, and what's changing — a raise, an exit, a move, new visibility.
Research & review
We conduct the digital-footprint research, property walk-throughs, and routine analysis. Quietly. Your neighbors and colleagues will never know.
Findings, in plain English
A written report ranked by real risk — not a scare document. Every finding comes with a practical fix and an honest cost range.
Your move
Implement it yourself, hand it to your builder or family office, or have us execute the pieces that need professionals. Your call.
Questions
Before you ask
What does a personal security assessment cost?
It's a fixed-fee engagement, quoted up front after a short intake call, and scoped to the number of properties and the depth of digital research involved. No retainer, no ongoing commitment.
How long does it take?
Typically about two weeks from intake to written findings for a single residence, longer if multiple properties or extensive travel patterns are in scope.
Will anyone know it's happening?
No. The research is passive, the property visits are unmarked and scheduled around your household, and the report is delivered directly to you. Discretion is the product.
Is this just a sales funnel for your other services?
No — and the structure proves it. The report is written so you can act on it without us, and a meaningful share of assessment clients never buy anything else. If your risk profile doesn't justify ongoing protection, the report says so.
Next Step
