About Us

Counter Threat Group (CTG) was founded in 2015, driven by ongoing research and statistics that reveal an increasing risk to churches, businesses, hospitals, and schools.  As “soft targets” continue to be vulnerable to violence and attacks globally, CTG aims to help organizations across all industries establish robust security programs.

Our primary offering is a Comprehensive Threat Assessment (CTA), which evaluates an entity’s physical premises to create a customized security blueprint. This CTA was developed and validated by a diverse network of military, cybersecurity, and law enforcement experts. Unlike generic assessments, our CTAs are tailored to each client’s unique environment and performed by individuals with extensive experience in threat deterrence, response, and advanced security technology. We continuously seek partnerships with professionals who can provide expertise to address evolving risks and solutions.
