Protective Architecture Consulting

Most security consultants show up after your architect is done and tell you what you should have done differently. That doesn't help. We figure out what you can still fix.

We work with your architects, engineers, and contractors at any project stage to build in protection based on your specific threats. Not generic security—protection designed for the risks you're facing.

Traditional Security Consulting Happens Too Late

Here's what usually happens: architectural decisions get locked in, then someone finally thinks about security. Now you're looking at expensive retrofits that don't work as well and mess up the design.

Things like site selection, building orientation, structural hardening, where you put secure spaces—you can't fix these after the fact.

We get involved wherever your project is and maximize what can still be changed. What's already built? We plan the right retrofits.

What Protective Architecture Covers

Real facility protection starts with design decisions that control how someone can approach, watch, and attack your building.

Site-Level Protection

  • Early design: Site selection based on approach routes, natural sight lines, standoff distances, where utilities come in, emergency exits, what's next door that could be a problem.

  • Mid-project: Perimeter layout, vehicle barriers, landscaping that creates defensible space, lighting for cameras and sight lines, hardening entry points.

  • During construction: Integrating access control, camera coverage, intrusion detection, secure parking areas.

Building Envelope Security

  • Early design: Building orientation to reduce exposure, window placement and size based on threats, structural hardening specs, ballistic protection, blast-resistant elements.

  • Mid-project: Upgrading glass, door and frame specs, wall construction changes, hardening roof access, securing utility penetrations.

  • During construction: Hardening entry vestibules, reception area layout, visitor management, loading dock security.

Internal Protection Layers

  • Early design: Where secure rooms go and how they're built, isolating executive floors, where critical systems are located, hardening server rooms, emergency operations centers, safe exit paths.

  • Mid-project: Access control zones, elevator security, stairwell protection, isolating HVAC systems, backup communications, securing backup power.

  • During construction: Interior barriers, secure storage, eliminating camera blind spots, duress alerts, emergency lockdown systems.

 

Technology Integration

  • Early design: Conduit and cable runs, where equipment rooms go, power and backup systems, network layout, redundant systems.

  • Mid-project: Access control infrastructure, camera system design, intrusion detection layout, communications systems, how everything integrates.

  • During construction: Camera placement, card readers, alarm sensors, monitoring stations, testing everything.
