Security Consultation Services in San Francisco
Protect your people, property, and operations with consulting that turns risk into an actionable plan.
National Protective Service delivers security consulting and risk assessments for offices, campuses, retail, industrial sites, residential communities, and venues across San Francisco.
We survey the site, analyze threats, review incidents, and evaluate technology and staffing. Then we deliver clear recommendations—post orders, staffing models, route maps, device layouts, budgets, and timelines—so you can implement with confidence.
Engagements are available on-site or virtually, and we can support vendor selection and commissioning through go-live.
Our officers are fully licensed by the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS), trained according to industry standards set by ASIS International, and work in close coordination with the Local Police Department to ensure rapid response and community safety. Whether you require threat deterrence, emergency response, or asset protection, our team delivers professional, discreet, and reliable security solutions tailored to your needs.
National Protective Service holds California PPO license 120545, verifiable on the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services registry, and follows professional standards aligned with ASIS International.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a San Francisco security consultation involve?
A licensed professional walks your site, reviews access points, lighting, cameras and procedures, studies local crime patterns and delivers a written risk report with fixes ranked by impact and cost.
How much of the report costs nothing to fix?
About half the gaps in a typical assessment are procedural — door propping, key control, closing routines — and close at no capital cost.
Does a consultation commit me to guard coverage?
No. Many San Francisco clients commission the assessment first and decide on coverage afterwards. Both can run under one agreement if preferred.
What is CPTED?
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design — using lighting, sightlines, landscaping and layout to reduce opportunity, often the cheapest lever available.
Who carries out the assessment?
A licensed professional, not a salesperson. National Protective Service holds California PPO licence 120545 and aligns its methodology with ASIS International standards.
