Corporate security protects a company's people, facilities, and leadership during the workday and at company events, from a posted officer in the lobby to workplace violence prevention and threat assessment when an employee situation turns concerning. TB Defense, based in Chicago, provides corporate and workplace security wherever a business operates: locally, nationally, and internationally.

What corporate security includes

  • Posted, uniformed or plainclothes security officers for offices and lobbies
  • Protective coverage for leadership during sensitive meetings or periods, through executive protection
  • Workplace violence prevention strategy and behavioral threat assessment
  • A security presence for terminations and other high-tension events
  • Coverage for shareholder meetings, all-hands events, and corporate functions, planned as event security
  • Coordination with building management and existing security

How does corporate security work?

We assess the facility, the people, and the specific concern. For ongoing needs we provide standing coverage. For situational needs, such as a tense termination or a credible threat to an employee, we provide focused protection for as long as the situation warrants. After a flood, storm, fire, or other disaster, we can also provide site protection and access control while a facility is damaged or unsecured.

Who needs corporate security?

Companies that need a professional security presence in their offices and at their events, executives and boards weighing leadership exposure, and corporate counsel and HR leaders managing a situation that has moved past routine, such as a threatening former employee or a high-risk termination. Coverage can be standing or built for a single situation.

TB Defense is led by career Chicago Police investigators with backgrounds in threat assessment and protective intelligence; meet our leadership. Organizations that have worked with TB Defense include Diageo, The Swatch Group, Capital Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Morgan & Morgan. See our clients.

Common questions

What is workplace violence prevention?

It is a proactive program to identify, assess, and de-escalate concerns in the workplace early, paired with a security presence for the moments that carry the most risk, such as a contentious termination. Behavioral threat assessment gives leadership, HR, and counsel an independent, professional read on a concerning person before deciding how to respond.

Can you provide security for a high-risk termination?

Yes. We provide a calm, professional security presence for terminations and other high-tension moments, planned with HR and counsel so the day runs quietly and the employee is treated with dignity. Where there is a credible concern afterward, we can extend protection for as long as the situation warrants. See planning a high-risk termination.

Do you provide security officers for offices and lobbies?

Yes. We post uniformed or plainclothes security officers for offices, lobbies, and corporate campuses, armed or unarmed as the risk calls for. Officers manage access and visitors, coordinate with building management and any existing security, and follow clear post orders written for your workplace.

Can you protect executives outside the office?

Yes. When a leader needs protection beyond the workplace, at meetings, events, travel, or home, we provide executive protection coordinated with any corporate coverage. TB Defense is based in Chicago and protects executives locally, nationally, and internationally, with details sized to the actual risk.

Do you work with our building management and existing security?

Yes. Coordination with building management and existing security is part of every corporate engagement. We learn what the building and your current team already cover, then fit our coverage to the gaps, so posts are not duplicated and nothing important is left uncovered.
