Yes, an agreed engagement can include an appropriately qualified HR professional to support documentation, review processes, meetings, and separation planning. The client remains the employer and retains decisions and authority. Specialist fees and availability are confirmed in scope. At-will employment does not remove protected rights, contract terms, or collective-bargaining obligations; legal questions go to the appropriate counsel.

A change of operating model does not automatically remove bargaining, contract, or successor-employer obligations. Review the existing workforce and agreements with HR and labor counsel before changing employment terms or making offers. We support operational planning and cost visibility alongside that review. NLRB employer guidance.

We start by confirming your priorities, deadline, decision-maker, site access, and available information. The proposal identifies immediate actions and parallel workstreams so useful work can begin promptly once agreed. The industry guides show illustrative planning ranges; your schedule depends on scope, approvals, recruiting, vendors, construction, and local requirements. No universal completion date is promised.

Your organization hires and employs its internal personnel. We can support role design, recruitment, interviews, onboarding, training, supervision standards, and leadership development. You make employment decisions and retain payroll, benefits, required checks, and employer obligations. A consulting engagement does not make Riordan Physical Risk the employer of your security team.

Choose a defined monthly or quarterly advisory arrangement with leadership meetings, performance and incident reviews, vendor scorecards, training refreshers, and scheduled site assessments. The scope sets deliverables, capacity, travel, and availability. Continuing advice supports your management team; it is not a 24/7 emergency response service.

Start the conversation. The service list is a guide, not a limit on what we can explore. We work through your concern, site, operating environment, and desired outcome, then define the right engagement, whether it is a focused review, an implementation project, or a complete security program with continuing support. Where specialist work is needed, we help establish the right project roles.

We are based in California and combine remote consulting with scheduled on-site support across the United States. International projects are considered by agreement, with location, travel, local requirements, qualified delivery partners, and responsibilities confirmed before work begins. We can help a multinational organization develop consistent security standards without assuming that one location’s procedures fit every jurisdiction.

Yes. An engagement can connect risk assessment, loss prevention, program structure, construction-team input, vendor requirements, staffing preparation, training, opening readiness, and continuing check-ins. We agree the responsibilities, deliverables, and schedule around the project.

We help define operational requirements, evaluate proposals, track agreed milestones, and coordinate the business side of rollout and handover with your project team. Installation, engineering, and regulated technical services are carried out by appropriately qualified providers. The proposal confirms the project roles and any local requirements.

Yes. Review service expectations, post orders, reporting, oversight, and accountability, or develop a transition plan if you are changing providers. An in-house conversion is one option, not the goal of every engagement.

Yes. Consulting can address residential access, visitor procedures, common-area risks, patrol specifications, camera-review workflows, and escalation responsibilities. Your team or an appropriately licensed provider delivers the guard, patrol, alarm, or monitoring service.

Share who is requesting it, the governing standard or request document, the deadline, and any assessor or sign-off requirements. We confirm whether the scope fits before quoting. Some mandates require a specialist, an approved assessor, or a specific format; a general risk review does not automatically satisfy every requirement.

Yes. Engagements can include committee facilitation, training, minutes, action tracking, workplace violence prevention procedures, and IIPP coordination. Your employer remains responsible for implementation. Legal opinions and specialist hazards require the appropriate qualified adviser.

Published starting fees cover narrowly defined reviews, assessments, workshops, and advisory capacity. Program builds and expanded work receive a tailored proposal. Your site, evidence, complexity, deliverables, deadlines, specialist needs, and travel determine the final written scope and fee.

It is the calculator’s editable starting wage for employee labor, not a consulting fee or an all-in staffing cost. Employer costs, relief coverage, benefits, management, and transition costs need their own allowances. Actual wages and vendor rates vary by role, location, and service.

These engagements are consulting services. Guard supply and other regulated services require an appropriately licensed provider. State-recognized licensing courses and certifications need an authorized training provider; an operational workshop does not itself issue a license.
