Are you ready?
Bad things happen to good people, generally, for one of three reasons
LACK OF PREPARATION | You can’t do much about the bad things that happen in life if you haven’t taken the trouble to plan for them.
IMPERFECT INFORMATION | Lack of information —or, worse, misinformation — can give you a false picture of the world, preventing you from successfully navigating the risk environment.
INADEQUATE PROTECTION | As those who train our military’s elite operators like to say, “Never get caught in a fair fight.” By making sure you have the right resources in any situation, you determine the outcome of any conflict in advance.
OUR SERVICES ARE STRUCTURED TO FAILURE-PROOF organizations in all three of these critical areas
LIVEREADY SOLUTION #1
PREPAREDNESS
Misfortune’s Natural Enemy
Get ahead of the curve and ensure that your organization is ready, should trouble strike.
Life can be hazardous, but danger isn’t random. Calamities, from floods to felonious assaults, tend to occur in predictable patterns.
If you know the pattern and have trained yourself to spot it, you can make the right moves … and prevail in almost any scenario. (Those unfortunate souls who don’t, meanwhile, end up blaming their troubles on bad luck or “a random act of violence.”)
LiveReady’s goal is to help clients turn the seemingly unforeseeable into the logically predictable. This way, they’re not surprised when something “hits the fan,” because they know exactly how to respond.
This is why training and preparation are at the core of what we provide.
Our PREPAREDNESS offerings include:
-
It’s good to have a lifeguard, but it’s better to know how to swim.
Security is a fundamental human need, and organizations have a duty to keep their people safe, yet such protection can only extend so far by way of policies and technology. All the protective measures in the world become meaningless, if the people they are intended to protect do not participate in their own security.
Ultimately, personal security is an individual responsibility. But as a society, we tend to abdicate this responsibility to professional “lifeguards” even though it has been proven, time and again, that in a crisis we’re going to be on our own. When seconds count, the lifeguards are only minutes away …
This makes the human element, often, the weak link in the chain. But it doesn’t have to be …
-
Since 2003, LiveReady has focused on empowering people and organizations. We focus on the human element of personal security by teaching the skills, tradecraft, and expertise once reserved exclusively for elite law enforcement, intelligence, and close protection professionals – society's lifeguards. Our programs are simple and practical, and immediately empowering for anyone, of any background or ability level.
Our hands-on workshops use unique compression learning methodologies to achieve real results in hours rather than years, and in ways that are unintimidating, engaging, and fun!
Topics include:
Workplace Violence Prevention
Critical Incident Response
Personal Security & Situational Awareness
Confrontational Management
Travel Security
Threat Assessment
All programs are fully customizable, and with experience providing in-service training for organizations large and small, we’re certain we can help. Give us a call to discuss how our training can best serve you.

No matter what the crisis, personal readiness often decides who survives, and who does not; who wins and who loses. To be ready to meet these challenges you often need more than just the right mindset and skill sets - you need the right tools.
The problem is, just as there’s no shortage of “experts” on self defense; there’s no shortage of retailers looking to sell you the latest personal security products or fads. Our goal is to save you time, frustration and money, by serving as your expert consultants and advisors, to help you and your organization navigate the often confusing maze of options; outfit you with what you need and nothing you don’t; then train you on your tools so you are ready to manage the unexpected, no matter what the emergency.
From lockdown devices that can quickly and easily enable ordinary rooms to become safe rooms, to trauma kits and Stop-The-Bleed training, to designing, building and furnishing executive panic-rooms, our experts are here to help.

LIVEREADY SOLUTION #2
FASTER, BETTER INFORMATION
Knowledge is Power
Spot the warning signs in advance so that you can act.
Contrary to popular belief, violence is never random. It is a process often as observable and predictable as boiling water.
From ancient times, wise thinkers have known: Scientia potentia est. Knowledge is power. And certainly today, we’re living in a knowledge revolution.
Even though we can ask our digital assistants for the weather or driving conditions before we head out the door, how well do we truly understand all the real-time threats to our personal or institutional security?
LiveReady addresses this information gap with SitRep™: Real-time risk analysis and actionable information pushed to your smartphone … data that can help you anticipate the surprises that may be lurking around the next corner.
Protective intelligence allows you to prevent an insider threat or an outside event. Our global security operations center, or GSOC, provides a central hub to investigate, analyze, and inform you of trouble—whether it be terrorism or a weather emergency—in near real-time, anywhere in the world.
It’s knowledge that helps our clients dodge the bullet (sometimes literally).
Our INFORMATION offerings include:
-
“Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.” - John F. Kennedy
When constructing a building, architects and builders have a comprehensive set of guidelines to follow – such as the Fire Code - which mandate and guide the design and construction of virtually all aspects of a building. As a result, fire safety has never been better.
Yet there is still no “Code” for people to follow with regards to security.
This lack of consistency and vetted guidance creates the potential for significant confusion.
While security may seem multifaceted and complex, the solutions are fundamental, and can be defined and organized into a simple process.
The first step in that process is to thoroughly assess the threats you may face, evaluate your vulnerabilities to those threats, and design a plan to systematically deny, deter or defend against those threats.
Our comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment applies the same processes and methodologies used by the Department of State, CIA and Special Forces to evaluate all aspects of your workplace and campus to prepare for any hazard or emergency. We examine every aspect; from the perimeter of your property to your doors, windows and access points, surveillance and security systems, and potential safe areas within that your staff can fall back to in an emergency.
The resulting report then serves as a blueprint to define your risks, vulnerabilities, needs, and priorities for training, outfitting and protection.

In the close protection business, being able to recognize and communicate danger early is critical. To ensure we have the best information, in the timeliest fashion, LiveReady partners with some of the best private intelligence agencies in the world. Together with our partners, our Security Operations Center receives and evaluates thousands of intelligence alerts every day, from around the world. From weather emergencies and natural disasters, to crime, active shooters and acts of terrorism, our systems recieve, evaluate, verify and notify in near-real time.
For the first time, Live Ready is now able to offer this Fortune 100 level service to our small business clients on a subscription basis.
The process is simple. We work together to define and input your fixed location(s) into our system and/or issue mobile apps for executives or employees in-the-field. Then, we fine-tune your alert preferences, and you're up and running.
-
Protection often requires information. And that information must be accurate, relevant and swiftly obtained.
Our investigative division helps protect our corporate clients by providing relevant information accurately and swiftly. Whether we are conducting background checks on prospective employees, comprehensive due-diligence checks on prospective business partners, or Threat assessment investigations to determine if someone making threats, in fact poses a threat, our investigators are here to serve on an as needed basis.
As a corporate client, our investigators are available on an as-needed basis, just let us know how we can support you.

Our PROTECTION offerings include:
-
In today’s world, threats come in many forms, from threats of violence, to stalking, harassment and a plethora of invasive and potentially harmful behaviors.
Yet, while many people make threats or act in threatening ways, few actually pose a threat of physical harm. The key is to be able to accurately determine what you are dealing with, and manage the situation accordingly, to diffuse, rather than escalate the situation. The problem is the indicators and patterns of someone who might escalate are misunderstood and without proper training and guidance, it’s easy to make the wrong moves inadvertently escalating what may have been an otherwise manageable situation. When the stakes are this high, you need to get it right.
Built upon a body of knowledge pioneered over the past few decades, our threat assessment team understands these indicators and patterns, and stands ready to assist you and your orgnization navigate these all too common dynamics.
