The security firm where the people you meet are the people who do the work.
Security advisory, digital forensics and crisis response for corporate security leaders, government agencies and private families, led by former federal law enforcement and security executives.
Senior operators, not junior staff. Specialists typically mobilized within 24 hours through our bench network.
Not a 10,000-person firm. That’s the point.
Senior leadership. A hand-selected bench.
Direct Protect Security is a senior-led security advisory, digital forensics and investigations firm serving organizations and private clients. We are veteran-owned, with 70+ years of combined experience. Our leadership comes from federal law enforcement and security. Our bench draws on former FBI, CIA, NSA and DoD professionals and private-sector CISOs, and specialists are typically mobilized within 24 hours.
Experience a Competitor Can’t Claim
Bill Woods supported the FBI’s investigation of the 2014 cyberattack on Sony Pictures, which the FBI attributed to the North Korean government. As the FBI’s St. Louis Special Agent in Charge, he led the Bureau’s response to the Ferguson unrest. Members of our team were part of the FBI’s response to the Boston Marathon bombing.
We helped a major U.S. corporation contain an active attack by a sophisticated Russian hacking group, using traditional and unconventional techniques to disrupt the attackers.
We Tell You What the Report Doesn’t Say
We’ve been brought in after a large provider was already engaged, to translate findings, challenge recommendations and make sure the engagement solves your problem, not extends theirs.
One of our clients came to us after a large consulting firm redesigned their security program in a way that required them to come back every three years. We don’t do that.
Who We Serve
Corporate Security, Legal & Risk.
Your large provider gives you a report. We tell you what the report doesn’t say. Senior investigators for CSOs, CISOs and general counsel.
Government.
We’ve sat on your side of the table. Flexible contracting, and leadership that knows how agencies work from the inside.
Private & Family Office.
White-glove protection. No layers. No leaks. Discretion for principals, families and the advisors who protect them.
The clients who need us most are the ones you’ll never hear about.
That’s why you won’t find client logos here. Bill, John, or Drew responds directly. No ticket queues. References are available on request.
