Employees

Our business model focuses on bringing together teams of people with exceptional knowledge, skills, abilities or experience that are best suited for the overall project. For training, this will generally involve one to two persons who can demonstrate expertise in the field. For larger projects, we tend to draw upon our partners and other experts to ensure that the team assembled can present the best possible opportunity to the client.

Allan’s primary focus is on Security Management, primarily within the transportation sector and critical infrastructure domains. His initial research lead to his coauthoring of Transportation Systems Security (Taylor and Francis, May 2008) with Bob Radvanovsky. The work gathered sufficient attention during its technical evaluation that it was integrated into a number of DHS libraries and an invitation was extended to speak at the National Defense University’s Information Resources Management College in Washington, DC. At the strategic layer, he is an active participant on the TSS CWG, and the Transportation Security Council for ASIS International.
