Support Staff

Construction Site SecurityBrosnan Risk Consultants specializes in the provision of security at construction sites. Brosnan’s threat assessment team analyzes site vulnerabilities, identifies “at-risk” areas, and recommends physical security countermeasures to ensure worker safety and to protect assets and equipment. A custom security program is then created which utilizes security officers, digital badging, CCTV cameras, perimeter lighting, and intelligence reports.

Brosnan provides both armed and unarmed security officers specifically trained for construction site security including general perimeter security, personal property protection, personnel safety, fire safety/fire guard, and CCTV operation. To address the logistical difficulties of controlling personnel and vehicle entry at sites that are continuously in a state of flux with large numbers of workers, Brosnan’s officers are trained in digital badging procedures that prevent unauthorized personnel access to the site. All control points and entry locations, during business hours and after hours, are closely monitored by security officers. Brosnan’s security officers prepare intelligence reports that document all instances of inappropriate and criminal activity at a site. The reports identify individuals, establish time frames, and provide eyewitness corroboration.

Brosnan identifies ‘at-risk’ areas and provides CCTV cameras for continuous surveillance. The cameras identify intruders, deter criminal activity, and assist law enforcement with prosecution. Security lighting is also an integral part of Brosnan’s construction site security program. Brosnan recommends security light placement that both protects the site perimeter and provides adequate illumination for the CCTV system to be most effective.

In addition to physical site security, Brosnan also provides background screening specifically designed for the construction industry. Brosnan’s professional background investigators identify key areas of risk including criminal history, alcohol/drug use, insurance claims, and civil litigation. This comprehensive screening process sets Brosnan Risk Consultants apart from other security firms by insuring that any potential threat is identified prior to a business relationship being established.

Litigation Support ServicesComputer Forensics

In today’s digital world, attorneys frequently review massive amounts of computerized text and data to locate, analyze, and organize key evidence in preparation for client cases. The recovery of discoverable electronic data and documents can be extremely time-consuming. Brosnan’s technology services team provide a range of time-efficient and cost-effective services that help gather, analyze, organize, and prepare data for review in litigation matters and regulatory proceedings. Brosnan’s specialists are trained to identify where exactly on computer networks key evidence is likely to be found, even if that evidence appears to have been erased or lost.

Data RecoveryBrosnan uses proprietary and industry-recognized forensic tools to locate, recover, and analyze altered, deleted, or damaged electronic data. Whether working on-site or from a remote location, Brosnan provides real-time data recovery solutions that are fast, convenient, and cost-effective. Brosnan’s technology services team can create a comprehensive chronology of computer usage and determine whether computer evidence was altered, damaged, or removed.

Investigative Response TeamsBrosnan’s investigative specialists assist law firms and corporate counsel at every stage of litigation, arbitration, and trial preparation. When an immediate response is needed, Brosnan’s specialists can respond quickly and professionally to any location. They can locate and interview witnesses, gather intelligence, interact with local authorities, and recreate the event. The importance of immediate response in criminal and civil matters cannot be overstated: Witnesses vanish, crime scenes are compromised, and all too often the truth becomes hazy. Brosnan can provide the expertise to build a case or mount a solid defense when a client is seeking a civil remedy or defending against a criminal proceeding.

Business IntelligenceCompetitive Intelligence

The ongoing battle for market share in today’s global economy has placed significant pressure on companies to determine competitive strategies and protect reputations. The traditional concept of security, still enforced by many companies, often overlooks the protection of intellectual property. Brosnan’s business intelligence experts provide clients with actionable intelligence about their competitors, which enables them to develop more effective market strategies. Brosnan identifies competitor initiatives and vulnerabilities and recommends proactive responses. Timely business intelligence can identify market threats and business risk areas and can provide an advantage in competitive bids and auctions.

Corporate CounterintelligenceCorporate counterintelligence protects business information. Brosnan has developed a comprehensive response to the growing threat of industrial espionage and information theft. In today’s world, many companies go to great lengths to obtain sensitive and often confidential data about their competitors and the availability of portable information via the internet, laptops, portable PCs, and cellular devices has made the traditional security perimeter an illusion. The areas that are frequently ‘at-risk’ are intellectual property: including trade secrets, formulas and processes, pricing strategies, industry sources, and client information; and confidential information: including infrastructure, personnel records, internet communications, agreements, reports, and research. The conduits that allow this critical information to flow are seemingly mundane: loose lips, disgruntled employees, discarded documents, trade shows, friendships, and opportunists. Brosnan’s counterintelligence program can identify a company’s vulnerabilities, stem the flow of sensitive business data, and recommend policies that will minimize future hostile intrusions.

Background Screening Services Background Checks

Brosnan’s industry-leading and cutting-edge technology assists organizations all over the world in the detection of potential risks, including resume fraud, criminal convictions, and past terminations. Brosnan can verify the background of potential and existing hires, examine professional and academic claims, research criminal histories, verify true identities, and identify a range of omitted issues that could effect job performance. For more than a decade, Brosnan has researched job candidates on all levels, from Fortune 500 managers and university coaches to mid-level executives and mailroom personnel. From traditional background checks to specialized searches, Brosnan’s screening services meet the needs of any organization.

Vendor ScreeningBrosnan assists companies, government agencies, unions, schools, and individuals in establishing the ability and integrity of potential and existing vendors. Clients are informed whether vendors have criminal records, litigation exposure, financial distress, or business relationships that could cause reputational risk. Rigorous screening processes are implemented to ensure that all vendors meet ethical standards set by the client. Brosnan’s specialists investigate criminal records, civil cases, liens, bankruptcy records, media coverage, and allegations of illegal activity to determine the business practices, liabilities, and integrity of vendors and their principals.

Substance-Abuse Testing

Brosnan helps organizations, institutions, unions, and small businesses reduce the risk associated with employee abuse of drugs and alcohol. Brosnan performs urine substance abuse testing and other related services to detect and deter substance abuse. Brosnan’s procedures meet and exceed the certification requirements mandated by all federal and state regulatory bodies, including those of the industry benchmark certification, the Substance-Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (S.A.M.H.S.A.). Brosnan’s analysis is accurate, rapid, and legally defensible.

Brosnan’s security teams are comprised of former NYPD detectives, United States Secret Service agents, and other security professionals.

Brosnan also provides armed security services for various conferences, conventions, and special events.
