## [Corporate Profile]{.underline}

**Protection Strategies Incorporated (PSI)** is a **U.S.
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned** national security and service provider
located in Arlington, Virginia. **PSI** is certified as a **small
business** by the Small Business Administration and is a recipient of
the **738X Federal Supply Schedule Contract #GS-02F-0067T. PSI** holds a
facility clearance, **Cage Code 1JF37.** **PSI** currently provides
Pre-Employment Screening, Risk Management, National Security Consulting,
Personnel Security Support, and Security and Administrative Support
Services to various Federal, State and local government agencies, and to
several large corporations worldwide.

**PSI** is a highly respected security management and support services
contractor. **PSI's** founders have been successfully supporting
national security programs for a combined total of over 100 years. On
every project, **PSI** management ensures outstanding results through a
constant evaluation process that helps to maximize productivity while
minimizing errors and costs. Collaborating with a client, **PSI**
applies robust management and business process analysis techniques to
help identify a client's needs. **PSI** then crafts a comprehensive
solution unique to each client's needs to ensure mission accomplishment
in timely and cost-effective manner.

**[Our Mission]{.underline}**

**PSI** is committed to becoming the leading provider of national and
international security needs with our unprecedented commitment to
delivering the ***Highest Standards of Quality Services*** by adhering
to the following principles:

-   **PSI** offers exceptional support services at low competitive rates
    on a wide range of security disciplines; resulting in some of the
    industry\'s most competitive rates and comprehensive programs.

-   **PSI** retains the security industry\'s most respected subject
    matter experts through an established working environment that
    nurtures creativity and innovation among its employees; encourages
    promotion from within; and offers comprehensive, competitive
    benefits, resulting in an outstanding rate of employee retention.

-   **PSI** carefully ensures the recruitment of a highly qualified
    diverse staff, to include women and minorities; requires all
    technical staff to maintain a top level federal security clearance
    (relative to specific contract requirements); and provides seasoned
    professionals in all security disciplines to our customers.

**[Competitive Advantage]{.underline}**

**PSI** employs a staff of highly skilled, seasoned security experts.
Each professional staff member possesses an impressive background in
safeguards and security, background investigations, protective force
services, project management, and security operations management.
**PSI\'**s core corporate staff have over 100 years of combined national
level security services experience performing personnel security
background investigations and adjudications; chemical/biological
countermeasures, weapons of mass destruction, and emergency/contingency
planning; analyzing risks, assessing areas of vulnerability, and
advising necessary actions to both government and commercial clients.

**PSI**\'s operations personnel are experienced professionals at
providing accurate information quickly, maintaining privacy, security
and confidentiality at all times.  **PSI** staff has extensive
experience and is highly regarded in the area of assessing and ensuring
compliance expertise with local, State and Federal regulations.  Our
corps of security experts are veterans with years of experience with the
Department of Defense, Department of State, and the Department of
Energy. All **PSI** technical personnel hold a DOE \'Q\' security
clearance and/or a DOD \"Top Secret\" security clearance. Our subject
matter experts have conducted airport, seaport, and rail station
assessments, other critical transportation node vulnerability
assessments, and validation of readiness through \"credible adversary\"
performance testing, both nationally and abroad. **PSI**'s
***\"adversary perspective\"*** is unique and complements the
traditional protection program methodologies. Historically, security
planners identify what constitutes their \"core assets\" and then design
its security in layers outward from those assets. **PSI**\'s Credible
Adversary Specialists identify targets that are the most attractive to a
variety of diverse adversary sets, establish potential adversary paths
and penetration techniques likeliest to be used, and outline security
measures and actions that will reduce or eliminate the risk of adversary
success to acceptable limits.

This \"outside the box\" approach is not designed to replace traditional
security planning, but provides an additional tool that can be utilized
to increase the success of the overall protection program planning
effort.

**PSI** has successfully applied this technique in overseas security
risk assessments for government and commercial industries, airport and
nuclear facility vulnerability assessments, security systems
requirements assessments, \"live\" adversary penetration-of-systems
performance tests, and in \"tabletop\" scenarios.

**PSI** specializes in providing integrated, multi-disciplinary security
services to Government and commercial clients. **PSI** has participated
in the development and validation of Continuity of Operations Plans
(COOP) for various government agencies. **PSI** is widely recognized for
comprehensive protection programs that integrate physical, technical,
information, operations, personnel, computer, and communications
security disciplines. In planning, implementing, or evaluating
protection programs, **PSI** uses threat and vulnerability modeling
methodologies, cost-benefit analysis, and other risk management tools to
optimize cost effectiveness. **PSI** has extensive experience in
developing threat models for physical and cyber terrorist threats,
terrorists using weapons of mass destruction, technical attacks, and
operations security (OPSEC) vulnerability assessments. **PSI** personnel
have developed, assisted in and assessed large scale, multi-agency
emergency management exercises. These exercises have included scenarios
involving weapons of mass destruction in forms ranging from improvised
explosive radiological devices to full scale nuclear attacks.

**PSI** also provides technical security services as a part of an
integrated information assurance program. This includes identification
and characterization of methods of compromising infrastructure system
components and identifying successful attacks. As part of this activity,
**PSI** is responsible for identifying vulnerabilities and attack
signatures.

**PSI\'s** proven expertise in all areas of security, safety and other
related fields provides clients a convenient, comprehensive approach to
addressing all their security services needs.

**[Specialized Experience]{.underline}**

**[Pre-Employment Screening - Background and Suitability
Checks]{.underline}**

**PSI** performs pre-employment screening, conducting background and
suitability checks to ensure that candidates for employment in Federal
buildings do not have connections to groups detrimental to the security
of the United States, or individual characteristics or backgrounds that
would pose a risk to the Federal Government or other employees. The
applicant's background is reviewed in accordance with applicable local,
state and Federal laws using numerous public, law enforcement and other
government databases. Reviews include verification of previous
employers; salary histories; criminal records checks; education
verification; reference checks; professional license verification;
residence verification; family and neighbor verification; and credit
history checks. All investigative activities are conducted in compliance
with the Fair Credit Report Act.

The results of investigations are compared to the standards contained in
Title 46 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Subchapter B, and/or OPM
guidance, and a recommendation is made to the Government as to whether
or not employment or access should be granted. If derogatory or
potentially disqualifying information is uncovered, that information is
completely investigated prior to making a recommendation to the
Government.

**[Vulnerability Assessments]{.underline}**

In response to the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, the Center
for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) determined that there was an urgent
need for the chemical industry to review its infrastructure and identify
and mitigate potential vulnerabilities. **PSI** assisted the CCPS in
developing a uniform, effective, and common vulnerability assessment
methodology. **PSI** was selected because of our extensive background in
national level vulnerability assessment methodologies and risk
management programs dealing with terrorism, terrorist capabilities, and
weapons of mass destruction. As a result, the CCPS developed a new
guidelines book (co-authored by PSI staff), titled: Guidelines for
Managing and Analyzing the Security Vulnerabilities of Fixed Chemical
Sites. **\
\
PSI** personnel are certified to conduct Vulnerability and Risk
Assessments for designated critical infrastructure facilities.
**PSI\'s** security professionals are certified in the Community
Vulnerability Assessment Methodology (CVAMSM) developed by Sandia
National Laboratory. **PSI** staff uses CVAM as a systematic process to
assist communities in assessing threat, prioritizing targets,
identifying consequences, assessing completeness and effectiveness of
security systems, and to provide decision makers with the information
necessary to make informed decisions on effective use of resources to
address vulnerabilities and mitigate risks.

Key components of an assessment include:

-   Identifying threats and critical facilities;

-   Determining how facilities are vulnerable to identified threats;

-   Developing methods to protect identified facility vulnerabilities;

-   Providing mitigation strategies, security system designs, and
    security enhancement planning.

-   Sandia National Laboratory Certifications for Vulnerability and Risk
    Assessments:

-   Community Vulnerability Assessment Methodology (CVAMSM) Risk
    Assessment Methodology - Water (RAM-W)

-   Risk Assessment Methodology - Dams (RAM-D) Risk Assessment
    Methodology - Transit (RAM-T)

In summary, our collective corporate experience coupled with our past
performance record, contract security knowledge, and our continuing
relationships and contacts within the security field, provide us with a
formidable history in the security services and law enforcement
industry.
