“After 10 years of continuous growth, The Chertoff Group has become a global leader and trusted security advisor to best-in-class companies across an array of industries,” said Michael Chertoff, executive chairman and co-founder of The Chertoff Group. “The Chertoff Group’s clients trust in and leverage our firm’s collective security knowledge, operational intelligence and policy insights to shape their market position, develop a competitive advantage and ultimately create secure environments for their business operations.”

The Chertoff Group’s Strategic Advisory Services offers a fully-integrated suite, equipped with a range of services that reflect the firm’s overall value proposition. Taken together, The Chertoff Group can find comprehensive solutions for any security risk management need, or for organizations looking to leverage security risk management as a business differentiator or accelerator.

The Chertoff Group’s Strategic Advisory Services core offerings include:

  • Security Risk Management – Managing physical and insider risk, leveraging a unique understanding of security effectiveness built around a three-pronged risk management methodology, including risk assessment, risk mitigation and risk monitoring.

The Chertoff Group applies an offense-informed defense analysis to assess systems from the mindset of an adversary. Its methodology also accounts for implementation risks so organizations can avoid trip-ups as they build out their programs - prioritizing preventive and detective measures based on risk. Likewise, it ensures programs address inherited risk from third-party dependencies.
  • Organic Growth Strategy – Strategic business insights and recommendations, based on state-of-the-market analysis, to identify and engage in market opportunities and build a competitive advantage.
