OSG Security
OSG Security
OSG Security helps government and industry understand and manage security risk — at home and abroad. We bring decades of operational and advisory experience to complex, sensitive and contested environments, from strategy and risk assessment through to support on the ground.
Security Consulting & Advisory
Our consultants identify vulnerabilities, analyse threat environments and design practical mitigation strategies. Engagements span security risk assessments and reviews, threat analysis, protective security design and assurance, and security program governance.
Expeditionary Services
OSG plans and supports operations in remote, austere and complex threat environments.
Services we provide under this capability include:
- Hostile Activity Risk Management (H.A.R.M.)
Hostile Activity Risk Management (H.A.R.M.) unpacks and analyses the historical, prevailing and evolving threat source landscape and activity. It focuses on and deep dives into those elements which represent the greatest threat to the specific client. It then tests the client’s preparedness and response to those elements.
The criteria that underpin this process includes:
- Response effectiveness, Agility, Timeliness and, The ability to recover, repair and re-posture.
- The assessment process can involve red teaming and penetration testing at all protective layers to assess effectiveness of the system. Once this process is complete and vulnerabilities and weaknesses have been identified, mitigation measures can be implemented as part of a holistic management solution.
- The process is underpinned and further strengthened by the employment of competent and experienced security personnel that are familiar with and comfortable in hostile environments. OSG has some of the most experienced, competent and capable hostile environment operatives in the industry.
- Ground Truthing
Whilst technology has allowed remote monitoring and surveillance to reach scalability and levels of capability never before available, such technology still cannot provide the whole picture. Physical human presence is required to gain a true measure of the feel and atmospherics in a specific location. This requires ‘boots on the ground’, to interpret and analyse the actual situation.
‘Ground Truthing’ is the art of real time interpretation of the situation in a specific location. It involves not only direct observation but also the understanding and interpretation of the pattern of life, atmospherics, hazards and obstacles as well as the human landscape. It requires discretion, tact and good situational consciousness.
OSG are skilled proponents of discrete Ground Truthing in all environments.
- Remote Area Integrated Logistics (R.A.I.L.)
Gaining access to and sustaining a presence in remote areas remains a challenge, particularly in a resource and time constrained world. Orion’s unique capability to support remote activities and operations logistically is underpinned by its ability to gain access and project into remote locations.
- Country evacuations and contingency planning
OSG has the reach, resources and experience to successfully conduct complex country evacuations in deteriorating circumstances. We have extensive experience in conducting complex extraction and evacuation tasks in a number of regions across the world. Having conducted evacuations across the Middle East during the Arab Spring of 2011, Libya during heightened Militia activity in 2017/2018, north-western Iraq during 2018, PNG, Cambodia, Solomon Islands and French Polynesia, OSG understands what is required from a resource, planning and task execution perspective in order to achieve a successful outcome.
