Insecurity must not decide what you can undertake.
For security measures to be a true guarantee of continuity, it is not a matter of owning equipment or having providers.
Your security resources must be coordinated according to an overall strategy designed to defeat adversary modes of action that have been anticipated.
First confidential conversation — no commitment.
DAMOCLES takes charge of the design and management of major security projects for companies, institutions or States.
In particular, we prepare companies and investors for the risks of riots and insurrections. Some of our clients were able to keep their business running at the height of the New Caledonia insurrections in May 2024. There are theoretical business continuity plans, and there are the RETEX (lessons learned) of those who have lived through real events.
Results sought
Our work therefore does not consist of drawing up recommendations and leaving the client to carry them out alone. We are not a theoretical consultancy.
Better-directed investmentsChoosing equipment, services and training according to the threats to be addressed, rather than accumulating resources without a clear purpose.
Limited losses and the fastest possible return to activity after an incidentPlanning the response to disruptions to reduce their consequences and allow the project to resume.
A system that works as a wholeAssigned responsibilities, prepared people and human, material and organisational resources able to act together.
A greater ability to face hostile actionsPreventing, detecting, containing and overcoming the disruptions the project is exposed to.
Faster adaptationIdentifying what must change when the activity, the location or the adversary's modes of action evolve.
Security entrusted to professionalsThe client no longer has to design and run its security system alone. Depending on the mandate, DAMOCLES can take charge of all of this work, so that the client no longer has to handle it directly.
Savings and avoided losses are results to be sought and, when the data allows, measured project by project. We do not put forward generic figures. No system guarantees the absence of incidents.
Starting points
Build.
You are launching an activity, preparing a new site or committing to a major project without yet having a suitable system. The aim is to anticipate threats before organisational and investment choices are set.
Transform.
You already have teams, procedures or equipment, but their coherence and effectiveness have yet to be established. The aim is to keep what works and bring the whole into a coherent, manageable and effective system.
These are two starting points for tailor-made work, not two standardised offers.
WHAT WE PROVIDE
Understanding the project, its adversaries and the threats likely to compromise it.
Identifying plausible hostile actions and the level of response sought.
Designing and coordinating the resources and methods needed to make them fail.
Leading the implementation within the entrusted scope, and preparing the people involved.
Putting the resources and the system to the test through suitable, authorised tests.
Correcting and adapting what needs to be, in light of the tests, changes in the project and shifts in the threat.
A test may lead to revisiting a design decision. A system that is effective on paper is not necessarily effective in reality.
