Threat management is a comprehensive process by which threats are received, investigated, assessed and researched and all mitigation and intervention options are carefully considered.

Whether you’re faced with a known individual or an anonymous threat actor, our experts can help. Our multidisciplinary threat management team comprises former federal, state and local law enforcement officials; federal prosecutors; attorneys; forensic psychologists; behavioral experts; substance abuse experts; and threat management experts that can help your organization navigate any threatening situation and give you peace of mind.

Kroll’s underlying threat management strategy focuses on threat actors as individuals—all with goals, ambitions, aspirations, fears, anxieties, stressors, families and friends. We seek fully informed and creative strategies that have demonstrated greater success they are based on human psychology, emotion and behavioral tendencies.

Threat Management Program Gap Assessment

For organizations who already have established workplace violence and threat management programs, Kroll’s enterprise security risk management team provides a health assessment or gap analysis to ensure these programs are operating with maximum efficacy, meeting the necessary objectives and being delivered in accordance with best practices and within the highest of standards.

Kroll has helped some of the most reputable organizations and threat management teams identify areas for growth, improve efficiencies and hone their craft—all in the interest of better protecting their organizations and people from targeted violence.

Active Threat Management

When your people or property are threatened with targeted violence (or intimated violence), Kroll’s expert threat management specialists will help you through the entire lifecycle of managing the threat. Our multidisciplinary team of global threat management experts can assist with any threatening situation affecting your organization or personnel.

We help you identify where you are on the threat continuum, help assess the likelihood of a threat actor perpetrating violence, and directly intervene to mitigate threats to you, your family, corporation or reputation. Our team also offers temporary, high-end project-based security personnel to supplement and augment your workforce. Kroll’s personnel are never in uniform and assimilate into your team for the low-impact, high-quality delivery of security and protection services.

All of Kroll’s efforts are rooted in best practice, guided by mental health professionals where needed, and carefully measured with other investigative and protective efforts to ensure your safety and security while directly addressing threat actors.
