How long does an assessment take?
Typical timeline is 3–6 weeks end-to-end, including 4+ days on-site. I start with a comprehensive 300+ question pre-site questionnaire, followed by intensive on-site evaluation, analysis, and final briefing.

From Neil
Founder, Neil O'Hare Security Consulting
My professional focus shifted back to security as my son approached school age. I re-immersed myself in the industry, driven with a deep commitment to the safety of students, congregants, patrons, and employees. Now my work is dedicated to strengthening people, protocols, and technology through bespoke vulnerability assessments and actionable plans. I provide leadership teams, staff, and security personnel with the essential knowledge and tools needed to confidently navigate emergencies and ensure the well-being of their communities.
