Deliverables
Program charter, governance documentation, indicator framework, escalation protocol
— TIER I · PROGRAMS & COMPLIANCE
Programs built on three decades of conducting the inquiries themselves.
Insider threat program design and review — for companies with sensitive intellectual property, government contracts, or critical infrastructure exposure.
— I.
The situation
"Our existing program looks like every other insider threat program — and we have no honest answer for whether it would actually catch what it was built to catch."
Design or independent review of an insider threat program — including governance structure, indicator framework, monitoring authority, escalation pathways, legal and HR coordination, and the cultural questions a program of this kind always raises but rarely resolves on the first attempt.
The discipline brought to this work is direct, not theoretical. Mr. Deetz personally led the federal division responsible for insider-threat-type inquiries inside the U.S. Secret Service's Office of Professional Responsibility, and conducted internal investigations as Senior Director of Enterprise Corporate Security at Trellix.
— II.
Who this serves
Government contractors subject to NISPOM-compliant insider threat program requirements. Critical infrastructure operators carrying sensitive intellectual property or operational technology. Cyber firms whose product is itself a target. Family offices whose insider exposure runs through domestic staff and trusted advisors.
Programs are designed to survive the failures that ultimately matter — not to satisfy the audit cycle alone.

The qualification

That is the qualification.
