PROTECT365 Business Readiness Assessments

Every person who comes to work should go home safely to the people who love them.

Our business, emergency-preparedness, and hostile-threat assessments help owners understand their current readiness, prioritize practical improvements, and protect the people and operations that depend on them.

The PROTECT framework

Seven capabilities that turn concern into accountable action.

PROTECT gives leadership a complete view of readiness instead of treating security, safety, continuity, communications, and training as separate projects. Each capability is assessed against the way the organization actually operates, then translated into clear priorities.

P

People Protection

Safeguard employees, visitors, customers, and stakeholders through practical protective actions.

R

Risk & Threat Identification

Understand the credible hazards, threats, dependencies, and consequences facing the organization.

O

Operational Continuity

Protect essential functions and establish workable strategies for disruption and recovery.

T

Target Hardening

Strengthen facilities, systems, procedures, and protective measures based on actual risk.

E

Emergency Readiness

Prepare leaders and employees to recognize conditions, make decisions, and act without delay.

C

Communications & Coordination

Connect leadership, teams, partners, information, and resources before pressure arrives.

T

Training, Testing & Improvement

Validate plans through training and exercises, then turn lessons into accountable improvement.

Insurance & operational readiness

Insurers are looking beyond whether a plan exists.

Underwriters and risk engineers may ask how the organization identifies risk, protects people, determines which operations must continue, prepares for disruption, trains responsible personnel, tests its plans, and corrects problems found during exercises or actual incidents.

The question is no longer answered by placing an emergency plan on a shelf. Organizations need current, usable plans and evidence showing that preparedness is assigned, maintained, exercised, and improved.

FEMA nonprofit security grants

Build the assessment before the application window opens.

For eligible nonprofit organizations, a PROTECT365 facility assessment can be structured to document the physical-security vulnerabilities that form the foundation of a FEMA Nonprofit Security Grant Program application. The findings can support the Investment Justification and help connect proposed improvements to documented risk, subject to the current FEMA notice and the applicant’s State Administrative Agency requirements.

Do organizations need certification?

Not automatically—but they should be ready to demonstrate capability.

ISO 22301 certification is not a universal legal or insurance requirement. It may be required by a contract, customer, regulator, parent organization, or industry-specific obligation. Even when certification is not required, the practices behind the standard provide a credible way to organize and document continuity readiness.

Insurance and risk-engineering review

Be ready to show how risk is managed—not only that a policy exists.

A completed assessment creates organized evidence of identified exposures, existing controls, continuity priorities, assigned responsibilities, training, exercises, and corrective actions. Those records can support discussions with brokers, underwriters, and risk engineers during coverage placement or renewal, although requirements vary by carrier, policy, industry, and organization.

International continuity standard

ISO 22301

ISO 22301 establishes requirements for a business continuity management system. It connects leadership accountability, risk and business-impact analysis, continuity strategies, response procedures, exercises, performance evaluation, documented evidence, and continual improvement.

Emergency and crisis management

A recognized framework for a program that works under pressure.

NFPA 1660 provides a practical framework for evaluating how an organization prepares for, responds to, and recovers from disruption. PROTECT365 uses the relevant practices to examine leadership, plans, responsibilities, communications, training, exercises, program evaluation, and continuous improvement—then translates the findings into actions the organization can realistically implement.

How PROTECT365 helps

Know what you have. Know what is missing. Build the evidence before it is requested.

We begin with the organization as it operates today. The assessment recognizes existing strengths, compares the program with relevant ISO 22301 and NFPA 1660 practices, identifies gaps, and separates urgent life-safety needs from longer-term program improvements.

Then we work alongside leadership and staff to develop or update the plans, assign responsibilities, establish continuity priorities, train personnel, conduct exercises, document corrective actions, and maintain the program. The result is not simply another report—it is a practical readiness record the organization can use in discussions with its broker, insurer, customers, auditors, and governing leadership.

PROTECT365 evaluates alignment and insurance readiness. It does not issue ISO certification, guarantee coverage or premium savings, or replace advice from the organization’s broker, insurer, attorney, or certification body.

Stay ahead without navigating it alone.

Insurance readiness is one benefit. The purpose is to protect employees, customers, visitors, and the people waiting for them at home while giving leadership a trusted partner before, during, and after disruption.

Review your current readiness

Health & Safety Compliance

Compliance must work in the field—not only exist in a file.

PROTECT365 connects emergency preparedness with workplace health and safety responsibilities. We help organizations evaluate written programs, required documentation, employee training, hazard communication, reporting practices, corrective actions, and the day-to-day controls used to protect employees.

Support can include OSHA-readiness reviews, written health and safety programs, toolbox talks, training records, incident and near-miss processes, corrective-action tracking, contractor safety requirements, and ongoing ISNetworld support. Findings are translated into practical priorities that strengthen compliance, reduce preventable risk, and give leadership clearer evidence that required practices are being maintained.

Cybersecurity & operational resilience

A locked door does not protect the business if an attacker can enter through an account, vendor, device, or employee inbox.

Cyber incidents are business incidents. Ransomware, phishing, stolen credentials, compromised vendors, and unavailable systems can interrupt operations, expose sensitive information, damage trust, and force leaders to make urgent decisions with incomplete information. PROTECT365 brings cyber preparedness into the same readiness picture as physical security, employee safety, crisis management, and continuity.

We help leadership connect qualified cybersecurity resources with the operational side of the business—who makes decisions, how employees report suspicious activity, which functions must continue, how the organization communicates when systems are unavailable, and how recovery priorities are established and exercised.

01

Reduce preventable access

Strengthen account practices, employee awareness, vendor access, escalation, and reporting around the ways attackers commonly gain entry.

02

Prepare for disruption

Define leadership roles, offline communications, manual workarounds, critical dependencies, backups, and continuity priorities before systems fail.

03

Coordinate the response

Connect technical response, executive decisions, legal and insurance obligations, employee messaging, customer communications, and operational recovery.

04

Validate the plan

Use practical cyber incident exercises to expose gaps, clarify decisions, and confirm that the business can act when normal tools are unavailable.

01

Assess

Understand the operating environment, credible risks, strengths, and gaps that can affect people or performance.

02

Prioritize

Sequence improvements by consequence, effort, dependencies, and the value each action creates.

03

Build

Develop the plans, procedures, tools, training, and management practices required to strengthen readiness.

04

Validate

Use exercises, drills, reviews, and observation to confirm the program works beyond the document.

05

Sustain

Track improvements, maintain plans, support leadership, and keep readiness aligned with changing operations.

365 OpsReady

The difference that sets PROTECT365 apart

You are not left alone with a binder when conditions change.

Readiness is difficult to sustain without someone responsible for keeping it alive. Organizations change. Personnel transition. Facilities and technology evolve. New threats emerge. Through 365 OpsReady, clients retain reach-back to experienced professionals who already understand their operation, priorities, and program—before, during, and after an incident.

This continuity matters. Leadership does not have to begin from zero, explain the organization to a stranger during a crisis, or rely entirely on internal staff who may already be managing the operational impact.

01

Before an incident

Executive consultation, plan review, continuity guidance, training support, tabletop development, policy review, and readiness discussions keep the program current.

02

During an incident

Decision support, planning, documentation, situation reporting, coordination, continuity advice, and operational guidance help leadership organize the response.

03

Through recovery

Recovery priorities, continuity coordination, after-action review, improvement planning, and follow-through help the organization stabilize and move forward.

Scalable incident support

When the incident outgrows your internal team, you do not have to manage it alone.

Serious incidents create an immediate second workload: organizing information, documenting decisions, tracking actions, coordinating partners, maintaining a common operating picture, protecting critical functions, communicating with stakeholders, and planning beyond the next operational period. That burden often falls on the same leaders already responsible for keeping the business running.

When activated under the client’s engagement and service agreement, the PROTECT365 Incident Management Team can reinforce—not replace—organizational leadership with executive advisory support, incident command and planning expertise, operational coordination, documentation, situation reporting, continuity management, recovery planning, and after-action support.

This is the value of PROTECT365: the organization receives more than a plan. It builds a trusted readiness relationship with professionals who can help leadership prepare the system, use it under pressure, and scale support when the situation demands more.

Protective planning

Executive, dignitary, physical, and cyber preparedness—connected to the whole organization.

When an executive, dignitary, keynote guest, or other protected individual will be present, PROTECT365 can integrate that visit into the organization’s broader readiness program. We work alongside the client and its licensed private-security provider to support advance planning, site preparation, movement and access coordination, communications, medical and emergency contingencies, continuity considerations, and coordination with venue leadership and public-safety partners.

Cyber readiness is integrated the same way: alongside the organization’s IT team, managed service provider, insurer, legal counsel, and qualified cybersecurity specialists so technical safeguards, employee actions, executive decisions, communications, and continuity procedures operate as one plan.

The result is one coordinated program that protects people, information, leadership, and operations—and gives the organization year-round reach-back before, during, and after disruption.
