Threat Assessments

A threat assessment is an important tool used by VIRTUS Consultants to potentially mitigate risk to a person or place from potential violence. VIRTUS can conduct threat assessments as proactive measures towards the development of risk mitigation plans. Threat assessments can be used to identify, assess and manage potential threats. These assessments involve examining the behavior and patterns of conduct that can be used to also determine a threat level. Threat assessments can involve physical surveillance, the monitoring of social media activity, web forum posts and other activities that can be monitored through limited access online databases and other open sources. Threat assessments are an important tool to use as a contribution, not only applied to executive personal protection, but also potential work place violence, stalking and harassment cases, event security and any other security service where a threat of violence exists.
