Certainty in an Uncertain World

DARK EMBER offers comprehensive physical security services dedicated to ensuring the safety, security, and peace of mind for our clients, their employees, and their customers. Our services include the provision of both uniformed or plain clothes and armed and unarmed security officers, who are trained in-house well beyond the industry standard to handle diverse security threats to maintain a safe environment effectively.  DARK EMBER also provides physical security audits that identify gaps and weaknesses in existing security measures. These audits are comprehensive, assessing a wide variety of potential security risks. A powerful but optional aspect of this service is physical penetration testing, where trained experts simulate likely security breach paths to evaluate the effectiveness of existing security measures and identify potential areas for improvement and personnel requiring enhanced training. Post-audit, DARK EMBER's team generates thorough recommendations for hardening the client's physical security posture. These recommendations leverage leading methodologies, including the CIA's CARVER Method - a system designed for threat assessment and prioritization. CARVER examines the Criticality, Accessibility, Recuperability, Vulnerability, Effect, and Recognizability of an environment, ensuring a robust and comprehensive analysis of the client's overall security posture.
