Instructor-led training
Training built on your ground: your building, your people, your routines.
No generic slides and no off-the-shelf scenarios. We build every class and exercise around the property you are on: the doors people actually use, the places they gather and the way help would reach them. Your team practices where they would really have to respond, so what they learn holds up when it counts.
- Workplace incident training, set in your own spaces
- Mass casualty event training and tabletop exercises built on your site and your plan
- Teammate Down: a full-day course with instruction and a tabletop exercise
Site reports
Know the ground you stand on.
For every site, we collect public data across 22 areas, from the nearest trauma center and fire station to natural and industrial hazards, airspace, access routes and infrastructure. We turn it into clear reports, from a single question to the full picture, with more than a dozen to choose from. Every report describes the place, never the people in it, from public sources as of a stated date.
- Single-question reports: what could happen here, who responds and how fast, and who can fly overhead
- Full site reports for residences, business facilities, production locations, schools and institutions
- Site selection and relocation reports on the area: its hazards, access and nearby help
- Emergency response guides for homes and sites, mapped to local responders within 1, 5 and 10 miles
- A location data sheet with six months of published local crime statistics
Organizational framework
The structure the military has used since 1903, fitted to your organization.
A clear structure pays off everywhere. Everyone can see who owns what, work stops falling between desks, decisions move faster and new people find their feet sooner. It also gives AI something solid to work from: when every task, record and decision has a clear owner, AI tools know what to draw on and who signs off. The model is proven inside large, complex organizations, and we run BOLLWERK on it every day.
- Instruction in how the framework works and how to adapt it
- Implementation and transition support
- Backbone: ongoing alignment of structure and people, handled for you
- A responsibility matrix, so everyone knows who acts, who answers, who is consulted and who is told
AI consulting
Plain advice on putting AI to work in your organization: where it helps, what it should never be trusted with, and who answers for it.
We use what we sell. BOLLWERK runs on tools we built with AI: this website, the 3D map on our home page, and the private member system where our people keep their training records, file incident reports and get set up on their first day. We help businesses and organizations of any size do the same, with practices that keep people in charge and your information under your control.
People and organizations with a great deal to protect, and the will to protect it themselves.
Families and principals
Primary homes, second homes, and the people who run them day to day. We help a household handle its own emergencies with confidence.
Family offices and companies
Leadership, staff and the places where the work happens, ready to act on a plan of their own instead of waiting on someone else’s.
Institutions
Schools and houses of worship, and the volunteers who keep them open, trained to look after their own until help arrives.
Every assessment works the same way: you point, we go.
You point
Tell us what concerns you and what you already have in place. You know your place best, so we start where you point.
We go
We walk the property on foot, at the hours that matter, with the people who run it.
We compare notes
Side by side with your team, we set what is written down against what actually happens.
You decide
Findings ranked by priority, written for the person who has to act on them. The plan is yours, and we stay on hand to help you carry it out.
We sell no security products and install no security systems. Our only interest is an accurate report.
Our reports describe places, never people, and a person reviews and signs every finding.
Too much of the security industry stops at “throw a camera on it.” A doorbell camera, an app and a monthly plan can make a home feel safer without making it any more ready for a bad day, and the footage and personal details often end up on someone else’s servers.
We start from your real environment and the data behind it, and we plan for resilience: what happens when something goes wrong, and how you come through it. What we learn about you and your property is used only for your work and is never sold.
Like what you see here? We can build it for you.
The map on our home page, the route that runs through these pages and the private member tools behind them were all built in house. If your organization could use something like it, a working picture of your sites, people, plans and responders, tell us what you have in mind and we will help you get there.
We build on request, as an engagement separate from any assessment, so our findings stay independent of what we build.
Built to withstand.
